POCATELLO — Social media posts from Pocatello area residents and businesses were rife with excitement last week over a local visit from Grammy nominated and award-winning musical artist Post Malone.
Austin Post, known best by his stage name Post Malone, lives in nearby Cottonwood Heights, Utah, and was reportedly in Southeast Idaho to spend some time in the great outdoors.
Malone, whose hit singles “Sunflower”, “Rockstar”, “Circles” and “Congratulations” have been streamed on Spotify billions of times, was frequently seen last week in selfies posted on social media by local residents who encountered the music star in the Pocatello area.
The 19th Hole, a south Pocatello convenience store, shared a selfie with Malone on its Facebook page and the post quickly received hundreds of likes.
Other selfies were shared via social media by patrons and staff at local restaurants that were visited by Malone during his Southeast Idaho stay.
Malone also visited Boise for the Boise State Broncos game in early December, where he shared news that he will be hosting a concert at Albertsons Stadium with featured guest artist Jelly Roll in June 2025.
Malone spent time unwinding after the game in Boise’s downtown area, visiting a variety of restaurants and taking photos with fans.
