Lily Allen cancels New Zealand arena concert hours before doors open due to infection

Lily Allen cancelled her Auckland concert at Spark Arena on 21 October, just hours before doors were due to open, after coming down with a viral infection. She apologised to fans, including those who had travelled, and said all tickets would be refunded.

The show was the only New Zealand date on her tour and her first performance in the country since 2019. No other dates have been affected so far: Allen is due to resume on 23 October, then play in Sydney and Melbourne before closing the tour in Perth on 1 November.
