Post Malone is set to bring his chart-topping hits and gamer cred to Riyadh on July 10, 2025, as the headline act for the opening ceremony of the 2025 Esports World Cup, kicking off a massive 7-week esports spectacle running from July 8 to August 24.
It’s a perfect fit, because Post Malone isn’t just a global music icon, he’s also a true-to-his-salt gamer.
He has streamed titles like Warzone, PUBG, Apex Legends, and Hunt: Showdown on Twitch, and even became co‑owner of Envy Gaming back in August of 2020.
According to the Esports World Cup Foundation, Malone’s performance “brings together gaming, music and culture,” reinforcing the event’s goal to push esports into mainstream entertainment. COO Mike McCabe described the moment as one where “music, storytelling, and competition converge to create moments that are not just seen, but felt.”
Malone makes up just one highlight in a star-studded lineup celebrating a $70 million prize pool and 26 events across 25 esports titles. Alongside giants like Cristiano Ronaldo, who is taking on a global ambassador role, Post Malone is part of a cultural push making this edition the most ambitious yet.
So, if you’re in Riyadh on July 10, expect fireworks (literal and sonic) as Post Malone merges music and gaming on one of the world’s biggest digital stages.
