Post Malone‘s “Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2” just got smaller. The artist took to social media Friday night to announce that he was canceling the first few weeks of his outing in stadiums with Jelly Roll, saying that he wants to get his forthcoming album finished before hitting the road in earnest.

The cancellation affects the first six regularly scheduled dates on the Live Nation-produced joint tour, or almost a third of the North American dates altogether. The tour was to officially kick off May 13 at El Paso’s Sun Bowl Stadium, with the other scotched dates were to have taken place at stadiums in Waco, Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Tampa and Oxford, Miss.. Not counting three festival dates that the star plans to fulfill in the interim, the tour with Malone and Jelly Roll will now kick off three and a half weeks later than planned in Charlotte, NC on June 9.
