Usher has canceled all dates on the Australian leg of his Past Present Future tour, ending plans for a return to the country after nearly 14 years. The R&B artist was scheduled to perform 12 shows across Melbourne and Sydney in November and December, with four additional dates added due to high demand. Live Nation confirmed the cancellation on July 4 through Ticketek’s website, offering no explanation for the decision.
Ticket holders will automatically receive full refunds to their original payment methods, with processing expected to take up to 30 business days. The canceled shows included stops at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena and Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, with ticket prices ranging from AUD $220 to nearly AUD $2,800 for VIP experiences. Usher last toured Australia in 2011 with his OMG Tour and has not commented publicly on the cancellation.
