The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, said in a statement: “I felt a strong urge to perform in Australia before I move on to the next chapter, and I want you all to know that I have not forgotten about you. Now is the right time for me to return, and I promise it will be a very special experience. I can’t wait to see you all!”

Next up Last November, The Weeknd announced that his New Zealand tour would be rescheduled.

The pop star was originally due to perform at Auckland’s Eden Park on December 8 and 9 last year, but a month before the show was due to take place, it was announced it would be postponed.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to reschedule our Australia/New Zealand tour,” Live Nation confirmed at the time.

“A new date will be announced next year and existing tickets will still be valid for the new show. Refunds will be available for those unable to attend the new show. Very disappointed but can’t wait to join you guys!

“We understand that fans will be disappointed, and Live Nation is working with The Weeknd to finalize a new tour schedule. We will make further announcements as soon as possible.”
