Ke$Ha and Pitbull's Australian tour has been scrapped.

A gig promoter Down Under has axed the concerts in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Burswood, and Hindmarsh, according to the rapper.

Announcing the news in a tweet late on Friday (11Oct13), Pitbull wrote, "The promoter is cancelling the Australian Tour, refunds will be available at point of purchase. We hope to return to Australia soon. Thanks."

Ke$ha later added, "im so so bummed that our aussie tour was cancelled!! aussie animals, i love you very much and im working out how to come see you gain asap (sic)!"'

No details about the cancellation of the tour, which was scheduled to begin in Brisbane on 30 October (13), were available as Wenn went to press.

A post on promoter Dainty Group's website reads: "'Dainty Group regret to advise the cancellation of the 2013 Pitbull and Ke$ha Australian tour. Both artists hope to return to Australia in the not too distant future."
