Charlie Puth Cancels Australian and New Zealand Arena Dates
No reason for the cancellation has been announced.
Charlie Puth has abruptly canceled his upcoming Australian and New Zealand arena tour, scrapping six November dates initially announced in April. The concert series, scheduled to commence in Auckland in early November, was set to continue in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Ticket holders have received automatic refunds via their original payment methods, with no further action required.
All ticketing platforms have removed the concert listings, confirming their cancellation. No official explanation has been provided for the decision, and it remains unclear if new dates will be arranged. The Australian leg marked Puth's first return to the country since 2023, following a promise of an "unforgettable live experience" featuring a "world-class band."
In his announcement, Puth expressed his gratitude to fans for their support throughout his career. The canceled tour was intended to promote his fourth studio album, Whatever's Clever!, released in March. Collaborating with BloodPop, the album combines jazz, soft rock and yacht rock styles and features guest vocals from Kenny G, Kenny Loggins and Jeff Goldblum.
Puth achieved his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 as a featured artist on Wiz Khalifa's "See You Again" in 2015, and the single spent 12 weeks atop the chart while earning three Grammy nominations. His debut album, Nine Track Mind, was released in 2016 and boasted the hits "Marvin Gaye," featuring Meghan Trainor, "One Call Away" and "We Don't Talk Anymore," featuring Selena Gomez.
Puth's team and the tour promoter have yet to issue additional statements regarding the cancellation.
