COVID-19 has done it again. Concerts thought to be safely scheduled in 2022 are being cancelled as Omicron cases surge.
With each wave of COVID-19 comes a new wave of concert cancellations. It should be no surprise that, as Omicron continues to infect thousands, musicians are pumping the brakes on their tours.

It’s not clear how many more concerts will be postponed or cancelled, but we’ve listed the major concerts that have been cancelled so far. Beginning January 31, concert venues in Ontario will be allowed to operate at 50% capacity or 500 people, whichever is less.
Here’s a roundup of upcoming concerts that have been cancelled or postponed in 2022:
The Weeknd
The Weeknd has cancelled his upcoming Toronto tour dates as capacity limits would put him in front of an audience of just 500 people. He was originally slated to play at Scotiabank Arena on February 1, 2 and again on April 10 and 11.

My loves, I am sorry for any inconvenience, but my shows in Montreal & Toronto are being rescheduled to July 25th & 27th. All tickets will be honoured for the new dates. I’m sorry we have to wait a bit longer to sing and dance with each other live but I can’t wait to see you all!
