The American singer-songwriter announced that she would add a UK and European leg to her ‘Don’t Click Play’ tour just two weeks ago, to support her forthcoming album of the same name, set to be released on August 22.

The tour was set to start in Los Angeles on September 3, from where she would continue her North American travels with 15 dates stopping in cities like Houston, Atlanta, Boston, New York and Chicago. She would then kick off her UK and European leg at London on October 25, before playing shows all around Europe through October and November.

Now, the popstar has told her followers that the tour isn’t quite ready yet by her measure. In an Instagram post, Ava wrote: “Pushing back my tour is [the] most difficult decision I’ve had to make, but when I perform for you, it has to be of a standard that I’m happy with, and it’s just not there yet.”

She went on to tell her fans that when she eventually comes back on the road, it’ll be an experience that meets expectations: “Being on stage is my favourite thing in the world. In order to put on a show that you all deserve, I need more time. I promise you all it will be worth the wait. I love you all and can’t wait to see you. SOON, I PROMISE.”

Fans shared their frustration with the cancellation. On Ava Max’s subreddit, users spoke of their disappointment:

The new album will follow up her 2023 project, ‘Diamonds & Dancefloors’ which reached the top 40 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
