"You guys have waited so patiently and I am so sorry that this has to happen after all these ups and downs."

Stormzy has today unfortunately revealed that he has had to cancel all of his Australian and New Zealand tour dates.

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to inform you guys that due to circumstances beyond my control, I must cancel international commitments for the remainder of the year which includes my Australian and New Zealand tour," a statement from the rapper reads. 

"You guys have waited so patiently and I am so sorry that this has to happen after all these ups and downs. I love you guys and I promise I will be back as soon as I can with a show that's bigger and better than ever."

Stormzy was set to perform at Spilt Milk as well as headline shows at HBF Stadium in Perth, two nights at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, Riverstage in Brisbane, John Cain Arena in Melbourne and AEC Theatre in Adelaide. 

The shows were originally scheduled for 2020 before being halted by the pandemic. Many fans have waited close to three years for the shows after buying ticket. It was set to be the first time in 5 years that he'd land on Australian shores. 

Stormzy has been replaced by now pop superstar Steve Lacy on the Spilt Milk lineup joining the likes of Flume, The Wombats, Peach PRC, Hayden James, G Flip, Spacey Jane, A.GIRL, Genesis Owusu and many more.
