Just months after it was announced, Charlie Puth’s Australia and New Zealand tour has been cancelled.
While Puth nor local promoters have commented publicly as yet, Ticketek have issued a short statement for people attempting to buy tickets to the US songwriter’s shows.
“Unfortunately, we regret to advise that Charlie Puth scheduled for November 2026 has been cancelled,” it reads.
“All tickets purchased for Charlie Puth (including refundable ticket purchases, if relevant) will be automatically refunded in full to the original payment method used.”
Rolling Stone AU/NZ has contacted promoters for comment.
Puth was scheduled to perform in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth this November in support of his latest album, Whatever’s Clever!, which received mostly positive reviews from critics.
Rolling Stone gave Puth’s latest album a 3.5/5 rating.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, singer-songwriter Charlie Puth characterised his career up to this point as “almost a decade of chasing my tail,’” the review reads.
“Indeed, Puth has at times been dinged for seeming too worried about savvily maintaining his image, whether he’s searching for views by rolling out videos chronicling his writing process or hunting for social media engagement with shirtless pics. That sense of self-consciousness has carried over into perceptions of his undeniably well-crafted pop tunes, which can seem overly considered and even inauthentic at times. But his new Whatever’s Clever is a great reboot, his most personal album delivered with an infectious confidence driven by his preternatural gift as a top-drawer melody junkie.
“Charlie Puth may or may not have transcended his days of cringe. But this record proves if the tunes are bright and tight, it doesn’t really matter that much.”
