Zayn: Everything we know about his 'Konnakol' tour
His US and European dates have been cancelled
Last updated 26th May 2026
Earlier this year, Zayn announced UK tour dates in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London as part of ‘The KONNAKOL Tour’ in May, following the announcement of his fifth album of the same name and his single ‘Die For Me’, released on Friday 6th February.
The run of shows was later scaled back after an undisclosed health scare led to his hospitalisation, forcing the cancellation of dates in Glasgow, Birmingham and Dublin. Despite the setback, Zayn still took to the stage at London’s The O2 Arena on 23rd May and Manchester’s AO Arena on 24th May. There's also been an update to his Mexico and South America shows, reflecting recent changes to his US and European dates.
Did Zayn cancel his tour?
Zayn has not cancelled his complete tour, however he did scale back some of his UK May dates due to said health reasons - with two out of four shows marking the end of his UK leg. He has however cancelled all of his US and European dates. The singer took to Instagram to share a statement with fans, where he said: 'To my fans – Thank you to all of you for your love & support now and always.
'(It’s) been a long week and am still unexpectedly recovering. Heartbroken that I can’t see you all this week, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today without you guys and am so thankful for your understanding.
'Thank you to the incredible hospital staff or Drs, nurses, cardiologists, management, admin, and everyone who has helped along the way and continue to. You are all legends! Big big love xxx z'. (sic)
On Zayn's website there is now a statement which reads: 'THE UPDATED 'KONNAKOL' TOUR 2026 SCHEDULE BELOW REFLECTS RECENT CHANGES TO THE US AND EUROPEAN DATES.'
