The Weeknd has cancelled the Australia and New Zealand leg of his After Hours Til Dawn tour.
Ticketek emailed concert ticket holders on Tuesday stating that full refunds would be made while the company tries to “work through the rescheduling process with the artist.”
The tour was first postponed in November last year due to “unforeseen circumstances”.

The Australian leg of the star’s tour was set to include a concert at Sydney’s Accor Stadium and Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, with other dates to follow.
But now all dates have been cancelled, with Ticketek recommending fans to sign up to a waitlist in case the dates do get rescheduled down the track.
“The Weeknd ‘After Hours Til Dawn Tour’ for Australia & New Zealand is still in the process of being rescheduled. While we continue to work through the rescheduling process with the artist, tickets for the existing 2023 tour will be cancelled,” Ticketek stated on its website.
“All purchased tickets will receive a full refund.
“Ticket holders of the shows who previously held on to their tickets will be able to access a priority purchase window for the new tour in Australia and New Zealand when announced.
“In order to gain access to the priority pre-sale, please make sure you opt in and join the waitlist here.
“Tickets will be automatically refunded in full (including refundable ticket purchases, if applicable) to the original payment method used for purchase and patrons do not need to take any action.
“Patrons should allow approximately 30 business days for the refund to appear in their account.”
The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, has yet to post about the Australia and New Zealand cancellation on social media.
His most recent Instagram post was made on April 13, hinting that a new album was dropping soon.
But plenty of Australian fans were also dropping into the comments, hoping for some more information about when he would appear Down Under.
“Bro completely forgot about his Australia tour,” one fan wrote.
“Did you forget Australia?” wondered another.
“Ok cool, release Australia dates?” begged another.
On Tuesday, some fans headed back to that April 13 post to express their frustration at the tour being cancelled.
“So f***ing mad … just got the email,” one wrote.
“WHAT NO PLEASE NO,” wrote another.
“RIP the aus/nz tour got cancelled 💀💀,” added a third.
