Metro Boomin Cancels Australian Tour for Listen Out
Metro Boomin has cancelled his appearances at this month’s touring Listen Out festival. The US producer pulled out of the event the day before it kicked off in Brisbane. Listen Out organisers released a statement on Instagram on Saturday, saying the producer had “postponed his Australian tour for personal reasons”.
Metro Boomin was quoted as saying, “To my fans in Australia, I’m deeply sorry to tell you I have had to call off my Australia/NZ tour starting this weekend. If you’re one of my true fans & you’ve been following my socials I hope you will understand. Please accept my heartfelt apologies.”

The organisers assured punters that all other international acts on the Listen Out and Listen In llineups – including Lil Uzi Vert, Ice Spice and Skrillex – were in Australia for the event. “We will also be announcing an additional Australian hip hop act shortly,” they said. A short time later, Listen Out added Western Sydney’s ONEFOUR to the lineup.
Listen Out got underway in Brisbane on Saturday, 23rd September, with Perth following on Sunday. Sister event Listen In, which hosts a smaller lineup than the flagship, took over Adelaide’s Ellis Park on Friday, 22nd September. Listen Out concludes in Melbourne and Sydney on Friday, 29th and Saturday, 30th September, respectively.
