PinkPantheress Cancels Australian Tour, Will No Longer Open For Coldplay

English singer, songwriter, and record producer PinkPantheress has cancelled the remainder of her tour dates for this year, citing the need to focus on her “physical health and overall wellbeing.”

Of the dates affected are her forthcoming Australian headline dates in October and November, as well as the shows she was set to open for Coldplay in Australia and New Zealand. International punters will also be affected, with the artist pulling out of opening for Olivia Rodrigo on the American leg of the GUTS tour and festivals, including Summer Sonic.

The Boy’s A Liar singer made the announcement via her Instagram Stories this morning (2 August), writing:

it is with the heaviest heart that i sadly have to announce that i will not be able to continue with the rest of my live shows this year in order to focus on my physical health and overall wellbeing. it appears i have reached a wall which i am struggling to penetrate through. this will include my GUTS tour, Field Day, Summer Sonic, FORM, III Points, and Australia/NZ appearances.

She continued, “I would like to thank all of you, as well as my touring team and Olivia for giving me the platform to perform some super fun shows. i’m sad to disappoint anyone and can only hope we will be in each other’s company once i return to health.”

The Music has reached out to tour promoters Live Nation for comment.

PinkPantheress announced that she’d embark on a short run of headline dates in Australia in December, just weeks after it was announced that she’d open for Coldplay in Australia and New Zealand.

Due to demand, Coldplay are playing four shows in Sydney and Melbourne on their upcoming 2024 Australian tour. Both cities already had two shows announced; extra and final shows were added on the day pre-sale tickets were made available. You can find tickets here.
