Charlie Puth Cancels Australia and New Zealand Tour - Melbourne, VIC
Smart summary
The American singer has cancelled his six scheduled Australia and New Zealand arena shows in November, with ticket holders set to receive automatic refunds.
American singer and songwriter Charlie Puth has cancelled his planned Australia and New Zealand tour, ending a series of six arena performances that had been scheduled for November 2026.
The cancellation was confirmed on Monday, 21 September 2026, with ticketing information stating that the scheduled shows will no longer proceed. Fans who purchased tickets have been advised that their tickets will be automatically refunded to the original payment method used for the purchase.
Puth had been due to bring his Whatever's Clever! 2026 World Tour to the region as part of an arena run covering both Australia and New Zealand. The Australian schedule included performances in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, while the New Zealand leg was scheduled for Auckland.
The Australian concerts had been planned for major venues, including Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Afterpay Arena in Sydney, Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Adelaide Entertainment Centre and RAC Arena in Perth. Venue listings have now been updated to show the performances as cancelled.
The planned Australian dates were expected to begin in Melbourne on 7 November, followed by Sydney on 10 November, Brisbane on 13 November, Adelaide on 15 November and Perth on 17 November. The Auckland performance had been scheduled for 5 November.
At the time of the cancellation announcement, no reason had been publicly provided for the decision. Reports said Puth and local promoters had not yet issued a detailed explanation, and there was no confirmed replacement date or rescheduled Australian tour.
The cancellation means Australian fans will not see the planned arena production in its announced November form. The tour was expected to support Puth's latest album, Whatever's Clever!, and was promoted as a major live production featuring the singer's established catalogue alongside newer material.
Puth has built an international audience through songs including “Attention”, “We Don't Talk Anymore” and “See You Again”, as well as his work as a songwriter and producer. His Australian tour would have marked another major arena appearance following his previous visit to the country.
For ticket holders, the immediate process is a refund rather than a transfer to another date. Ticketing and venue information confirms that purchased tickets will be automatically refunded, with customers directed to check their ticketing communications for further information.
The cancellation affects fans across several Australian capital cities, making it a significant change to the country's November live-music calendar. At present, the reason for the cancellation and whether Puth will announce future Australian dates remain unconfirmed.
