Baylor University canceled the Post Malone and Jelly Roll show at McLane Stadium, citing a cancellation notice and promising new options for the venue.
A major Texas music night is off the calendar after Baylor University confirmed that the Post Malone and Jelly Roll concert at McLane Stadium has been canceled.
In a statement shared by Misryoum, Baylor said it received the cancellation notice through Live Nation and expressed disappointment. The university also indicated it is already working on alternative concert plans for McLane Stadium, aiming to keep the venue’s schedule active.
This matters to local fans because the cancellation disrupts more than a single event. Large stadium shows often drive attention, travel, and community excitement far beyond the night of the performance, and Baylor’s next steps will be closely watched.
The show was scheduled for May 19 as part of the Big Stadium Tour Part 2, with Carter Faith also listed on the bill. Misryoum notes that the McLane Stadium date had been framed as one of only two Texas stops for the tour, with another scheduled in El Paso.
As fans processed the news on Friday, many ticket holders reportedly received cancellation notices tied to their purchases. Misryoum also highlighted that Baylor did not provide a specific reason for the cancellation.
At the same time, the delay between announcements and final plans is where uncertainty can spread fastest. Clear updates on refunds, rescheduled dates, and the next major bookings help rebuild trust with ticket buyers.
Baylor’s message points to other upcoming entertainment for fans in Waco. Misryoum reports that the university is looking ahead to events at nearby venues, including Willie Nelson at Baylor Ballpark on May 14, and Old Dominion for a Family Weekend concert with sales noted for later.
Even with this cancellation, Baylor is signaling that momentum will continue through new announcements. For concertgoers, that means keeping an eye on official updates as the schedule evolves, and for the community, it means the spotlight on live music remains steady.
