Post Malone – Big Ass World Tour: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Kaohsiung)

Why this show matters

Post Malone doesn’t tour Asia often, so a Kaohsiung date on the Big Ass World Tour was a genuine occasion. The show was set for September 19, 2026 at Kaohsiung National Stadium, one of the most striking concert venues in Taiwan. It was the kind of date that pulls fans in from Hong Kong, Manila, and across Taiwan itself.

The venue: Kaohsiung National Stadium

This isn’t a generic arena. Designed by architect Toyo Ito, the stadium’s open horseshoe shape and dragon-scale roof are covered in solar panels, reportedly enough to power the whole complex and feed excess electricity back to the grid.

It sits in Zuoying District, a short ride from Kaohsiung’s high-speed rail hub. The open end of the horseshoe means sound and sightlines work differently than in a fully enclosed dome, so the atmosphere is a little different from an indoor mega-show.

• Capacity: roughly 40,000-55,000 depending on stage configuration
• Structure: open-air, partially covered by the solar roof
• District: Zuoying, north Kaohsiung

Getting there

Zuoying is Kaohsiung’s transport hub, which makes this an easy venue to reach even for first-time visitors.

• High Speed Rail: Zuoying HSR Station connects to Taipei in under two hours, and many fans day-trip or overnight from the capital.
• Kaohsiung MRT: Zuoying/Kaohsiung Main Station on the Red Line puts you a walkable distance from the stadium.
• From Kaohsiung International Airport: MRT Red Line direct to Zuoying, roughly 20-25 minutes.

Station crowding at Zuoying is normal right after doors close and again as a concert lets out, in both directions.

Tickets and confirming details

Ticket platforms, pricing tiers, and on-sale dates for Taiwan shows are typically handled through local promoters and official ticketing partners rather than the artist’s own site directly. For this date, the fixed points in the announcement were the venue and the day itself.

• Gate and doors times, along with set times, sat with the local promoter rather than the tour’s own site
• Official and authorized resale channels were the safe routes, since secondary-market listings for stadium shows in Taiwan are common and risky
• Seating charts and pricing tiers vary from show to show, because stadium configurations change with the stage setup

When to arrive and what to expect

Doors for stadium shows of this scale in Taiwan typically open a few hours before the headline set, with opening acts or DJ sets filling the earlier slot. Set times for the Kaohsiung date were not part of the announcement.

September in Kaohsiung is still warm and humid, often with a chance of late-summer rain, and the stadium is only partially covered.

• Light rain layer or poncho
• Refillable water bottle, though venue policy on outside liquids varies
• Comfortable shoes, given the walk from the MRT and hours of standing

How to visit like a local

Taiwanese concertgoers tend to turn up early and queue in an orderly, single-file line rather than clustering near the entrances. Cashless payment is standard at most stadium concession stands, so an EasyCard with a balance on it or a mobile payment app saves time.

Tipping isn’t expected anywhere in Taiwan, including at the venue. On general admission floors, locals often stake out a spot well before doors and take turns leaving briefly for food or the restroom rather than losing their place entirely.

The most common visitor mistake is underestimating exit crowds. Kaohsiung’s MRT is efficient, but 40,000+ people funneling into one station at once creates real bottlenecks. Locals often sit out the first surge with a drink or snack near the stadium instead of heading straight for the platform.

The venue’s full English name is Kaohsiung National Stadium, which is handy to know for directions or a taxi driver.
