Lorde fans were thrilled when she announced a tour of Aotearoa and Australia next year after the release of her latest album Solar Power - but now they'll have to wait until 2023 to see her perform.
Originally set to kick off in February next year, the tour dates have been shifted to February and March 2023.
Organisers said the postponement was due to "continuing uncertainty" around the current Delta outbreak of Covid-19 in New Zealand, as well as the unknown start date of the traffic light system.
"We have been faced with the difficult decision to move the tour to February-March 2023 so we can proceed with some surety and fully deliver the shows without risk of last-minute lockdowns," they said.
It comes as the majority of Lorde's touring band and crew are not citizens of either Australia or New Zealand, and would require travel exemptions and quarantine.
