Sienna Spiro has pulled out of next week’s ARIA Awards.
The UK star issued a statement via ARIA on Thursday, saying her current tour has “taken its toll on me and my voice” and “I have to listen to my body and give it the rest it needs”.
See the full statement below.
Spiro was confirmed to perform at the event going ahead at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Wednesday, November 18th. The visit was to be in support of her debut album, Visitor, and promotion for her 2027 tour of Australia and New Zealand.
It was to be Spiro’s second visit to Australia, following a fan event at Newtown’s Pleasure Club in 2025. Her Visitor tour of Australia and New Zealand in January 2027 sold out within hours, with more than 30,000 tickets sold.
Spiro has more than 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 2 billion total streams. She has had three singles on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously and six entries on the ARIA Singles Chart.
It’s not all bad news for music fans, with Melbourne alt-pop trio Blusher confirmed to join the performer’s lineup at next week’s ceremony.

Hi Australia
I am so incredibly sorry I won’t be able to make it to the ARIA Awards this year.
I’ve been looking forward to coming back for months, however this tour has taken its toll on me and my voice. As much as I wanted to be there, I have to listen to my body and give it the rest it needs to be able to give you the best shows possible when I return in January.
I am incredibly grateful to the ARIA team for the opportunity and so sad to let you all down.
I hope it’s a wonderful evening and I can’t wait to see you all again.
Lots of love
Sx
