Post Malone made sure the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final kicked off in unforgettable fashion.
The chart-topping superstar headlined the tournament's closing ceremony on Sunday (July 19), delivering a hit-packed performance before Argentina faced Spain in one of the biggest sporting events of the year-and he had a few surprises up his sleeve.
Rather than opening with one of his many blockbuster hits, Post Malone stunned fans by debuting an unreleased song titled "Chrome Heartbreaker," giving millions of viewers around the world their first taste of new music.
Once the crowd had heard the fresh track, the singer shifted into familiar territory with his Billboard Hot 100 smash "Wow.", sending the stadium into a singalong just moments before kickoff.
But the biggest surprise was still to come.
Post Malone welcomed Swae Lee to the stage for a live performance of their global phenomenon "Sunflower," the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse that remains one of the biggest songs of the streaming era. The unexpected reunion drew one of the loudest reactions of the ceremony.
The performance served as the grand finale of FIFA's pre-match celebrations before the World Cup Final got underway, capping off a star-studded day that also featured major musical performances throughout the tournament's biggest event.
With a brand-new song unveiled on one of the world's largest stages and a surprise reunion for one of his signature hits, Post Malone once again proved why he's become one of music's go-to performers for global spectacles.
