The Weeknd Recently Cancelled New Zealand And Australia Shows
But their hesitation to be photographed could also be due to the confusion caused by The Weeknd’s recent decision to cancel his upcoming Down Under tour dates, without a clear reason. Earlier this month, ticketholders for the shows in Australia and New Zealand revealed an email saying the dates were being postponed due to “unforeseen circumstances,” though little details were provided about when the highly-anticipated dates will be rescheduled for.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we must reschedule the Australia/New Zealand tour”, the email stated. “New dates will be announced next year and current tickets will be valid for the new shows. Refunds will be available for those unable to attend the new dates. [I’m] deeply disappointed but can’t wait to be there with you!”
Live Nation, which has been promoting the tour, also released a statement noting that it was trying to coordinate new dates with The Weekend. “We understand fans will be disappointed, and Live Nation is focused on working with The Weeknd to secure a new tour schedule. We will make a further announcement as soon as possible,” the promoter stated.
The Weekend has spent most of this year on his world tour. He was scheduled to being the Down Under portion of his tour on November 20 in Brisbane, Australia, before concluding the leg of the tour in Auckland, New Zealand with two show in late December.
For now, The Weekend hasn’t provided any other details about why the shows have been postponed.
