Post Malone has been announced as the replacement headliner for Travis Scott at this weekend's Day N Vegas Festival.

Yesterday (8 November) Travis Scott pulled out of his headline slot at Day N Vegas Festival this weekend, with sources saying he is "too distraught to play"after the tragic incident at his Astroworld Festival at NRG Park in Houston last week that resulted in eight deaths.

Last night the replacement for Scott's Saturday night slot was revealed to be Post Malone, who recently teamed up with The Weeknd on "One Right Now" - the first single to be lifted from Post Malone's fourth album that's yet to be announced.
