Unfortunately due to ill health André Rieu has had to postpone his much anticipated Australian and NZ concert dates as well as his tour of the UK and Ireland. The Australian concerts were due to commence on Saturday October 16 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.

André has been suffering from a viral infection of the vestibular nerve which has left him unable to carry out his tour commitments. Acting on doctor’s orders, an emotional André Rieu, speaking from his home in Maastricht, said that he was “heartbroken not to perform to his fans in Australia and New Zealand” and added that “he expects to make a full recovery and will be back in Australia and New Zealand very soon.”

The new tour dates will be rescheduled as soon as possible and information on the new dates will be published as soon as they are known. Tickets will stay valid for the new dates.

Ticketholders unable to attend the new dates are asked to contact their point of purchase for a refund.

George Ash, President of Universal Music Australia, André Rieu’s record company adds : “Along with all of his fans I wish André all the best for a speedy recovery and hope that the Australian tour can be rescheduled as soon as possible. I know how much André loves Australia and I’m sure with all of our good wishes he will recover quickly.”

André Rieu Productions apologises for any inconvenience caused.
