Harry Styles’ ‘Love on Tour’ Is Officially Cancelled

Harry Styles’ long-delayed Australian and New Zealand ‘Love on Tour’ has been cancelled. Styles was all set to perform in Australia in the month of November of 2020. The dates were later postponed due to the pandemic. 

At that time Harry Styles said, “I really hope to play the shows as planned for 2021 but will continue to monitor the situation over the coming weeks and months.” 

The dates for the UK and Europe were scheduled for April of 2020, were pushed back to February and March 2021. But unfortunately, that had to also be postponed because of the pandemic in December 2020. 

Styles managed to carry out the North American leg of the world tour last year, performing dozens of shows between September and November of 2021. Styles rescheduled UK, Europe and South America tour dates for 2022, but notably absent from the announcement were Australian or New Zealand stops.

The Live Nation’s Australia website said in a statement, “Due to the continuing challenges for international touring, the Harry Styles ‘Love on Tour’ is unable to be rescheduled for Australia & New Zealand in 2022. The current arena tour will be cancelled whilst we work towards a new tour, with all ticket holders receiving a full refund accordingly.”

The statement goes on to say that those who held on to tickets for the original shows will be offered access to a priority purchase window when new Australian and New Zealand dates are eventually announced.

In an email sent to ticketholders, Styles said: “To everyone in Australia and New Zealand, I can’t believe it’s been four years. I can’t wait to see you again, but unfortunately, it is just not possible at this time. I will be sharing news soon about new shows. I love you all so much. I miss you, and I can’t wait to see you.”
