The six-date arena run was set to mark Puth’s first Australian visit since 2023, with concerts planned in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.

No reason for the cancellation has been provided, and Puth has not publicly addressed the decision as of press time.

The tour was announced in April and was set to support Puth’s fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever!, which was released in March.

Produced by Puth alongside BloodPop, the album blends jazz, soft rock, and yacht rock influences and features guest appearances from Kenny G, Kenny Loggins, and Jeff Goldblum.

Puth expressed his excitement for the tour when it was first announced, saying, “I feel like I’ve worked and waited my entire career to put this sort of live show on for you all.”

What this adds

It remains unclear whether replacement dates will be scheduled for the canceled shows.
