Before he wrapped an hour-long set Sunday night at Ford Field, Jelly Roll had one last trick up his sleeve:

As he performed a cover of “Lose Yourself” — a song he has performed many times in Detroit — the country-rocker glanced to the stage wings. And sure enough, accompanied by a near-deafening roar inside the sold-out stadium, out strode Eminem.

The Detroit rapper picked up the second verse of his signature 2002 hit, joining Jelly Roll as the two eventually made their way down the runway for the song’s familiar chorus.

It was among the highlights in a festive Ford Field night, which found Post Malone headlining the eighth stop of his Big Ass Stadium Tour, a lengthy transatlantic outing set to run through September.

Eminem has done this kind of stuff before, perhaps most memorably at Ford Field in 2023, in a similar “Lose Yourself” cameo favor for Ed Sheeran. Jelly Roll has long been a loud, avowed Eminem stan, and the two met for the first time nearly a year ago at the concert celebrating the reopening of Detroit’s Michigan Central station.

So perhaps the only real surprising aspect of Sunday’s showstopper guest spot is that it risked upstaging the night’s headliner. Given that Post Malone almost certainly signed off on the moment, it speaks to the generosity of spirit on a tour that’s all about feel-good vibes.

In front of a crowd that appeared to number about 47,000 based on past Ford Field concert configurations, Post Malone capped the evening with a two-hour set mingling older hits with a heavy helping of material from “F-1 Trillion,” his chart-topping sojourn into country music. The show brought a high-energy, beer-chugging, Friday-night atmosphere to a Sunday evening affair.

He hit the stage to the throb of “Texas Tea,” his trademark red Solo cup in hand and cigarette dangling from his fingers. His Bob Dylan ‘78 tour T-shirt was tucked in — old-school redneck style — though the glint of his dental grillz, flashed during his frequent impish grins, was a sign we were firmly in 2025.
