Zayn Malik Cancels All ‘Konnakol’ U.S. Tour Dates Following Illness

Former One Direction singer Zayn Malik, who was hospitalized last month with an unspecified illness, has canceled all U.S. dates for the 2026 tour behind his “Konnakol” album, which was released on April 17. However, dates in the U.K. and Mexico later this month, which take place before the U.S. tour was scheduled to begin, are still for sale on his website.

In a statement on his Instagram, the former One Direction member announced that the U.S. 2026 tour dates had been scrapped.

“To my fans: Thank you so much for all the support and love you’ve shown me on the album release and more importantly your love, prayers, and well wishes for my health,” read the statement posted on his Instagram Stories. “I’ve felt it, and it’s meant the world. I’ve been at home recovering and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before.”

The singer had been hospitalized last month with an unspecified illness.

“I’ve had to take another look at my schedule for the months ahead and have to reduce the number of shows on the KONNAKOL Tour,” he continued. “I want to make sure I still get out and see as many of you as I possibly can. I’m really looking forward to playing these shows for you, and I hope to see the rest of you around the world very soon. Big Love, Z.”

Earlier this year, Malik showcased his talent in his Las Vegas residency at the Dolby Live.

Although U.S. fans won’t get to see The Konnakol Tour, ticket sales for dates in Europe and México are still ongoing. Malik shared a link to the cities where he will be touring in support of Konnakol, his fifth studio album.

The Konnakol Tour will now start on May 23 in London, where Malik will perform at The O2 Arena. The singer will travel to Manchester the next day and perform at the AO Arena. It will be on June 14 when Malik performs at Estadio Borregos in Monterrey, Mexico, with another show set for June 17 in Guadalajara and another one on June 20 in México City.

After his tour dates in Mexico, Malik will travel to South America, where he will perform in Santiago, Chile (October 2), Buenos Aires, Argentina (October 6), São Paulo, Brazil (October 10), and Lima, Peru (October 14).

Malik’s first U.S. appearance would’ve been on July 19 at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, followed by Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Chicago, Indianapolis, Nashville, Phoenix, San Diego, Inglewood, Anaheim, San Francisco, and Seattle. The singer would’ve continued touring the U.S. in the fall with a scrapped November 7 date in Buffalo at the KeyBank Center, followed by dates in Detroit, D.C., Charlotte, Boston, Orlando, and closing out in Miami on November 20.
