Canadian singer The Weeknd has announced that he will be postponing his tour dates in Auckland early next month, with new dates expected to be announced in 2024.

An email was sent to ticketholders shortly after 4pm to advise of the rescheduling.

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, we must reschedule the Australia/New Zealand tour. New dates will be announced next year and current tickets will be valid for the new shows," it read.

"Refunds will be available for those unable to attend the new dates. Deeply disappointed but can't wait to be there with you!"

The Weeknd was expected to perform two shows at Auckland's Eden Park on December 8 and December 9.

Live Nation said that they understand fans will be disappointed and that they are focused on working with The Weeknd to secure a new tour schedule.

"We will make a further announcement as soon as possible."

The postponement comes after one of the shows was rescheduled to make room for a fourth show at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium.

The After Hours til Dawn tour is The Weeknd's seventh concert tour, in support of his fourth and fifth studio albums, After Hours and Dawn FM.
