Charlie Puth has cancelled his six-date arena tour of Australia and New Zealand due to take place in November. The run had been announced in April and was set to open at Auckland's Spark Arena in early November, according to Billboard.

The itinerary covered one New Zealand show followed by five in Australia. After Auckland, the tour was scheduled to visit Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

Ticket holders were informed by email that the shows will no longer proceed. All tickets will be refunded automatically to the original payment method, with no action required from buyers.

Ticketing outlets have listed the concerts as cancelled and removed tickets from sale. The message to fans was straightforward: the dates are off, and refunds are on the way.

No reason for the cancellation had been announced at press time. Puth had not publicly addressed the decision, and it was not yet known whether replacement dates will be scheduled.

The regional run was set to be Puth's first visit to Australia since 2023. The shows were scheduled in support of his fourth studio album, Whatever's Clever!, which arrived in March.

For fans, this means a long wait gets longer. Auckland was the tour's only New Zealand date, so its cancellation leaves that leg of the trip with no show at all. Australian ticket holders now watch for any word on rescheduled dates — and check their original payment method for the refund landing.
