The tour shared the following note:
Hello friend, You have been both in our thoughts and prayers and on our lips as we (along with every other team or artist operating in the live event space) have been working through scheduling, availability, timing and both national and international travel restrictions in regard to re-scheduling postponed tours.
We are sad to be writing you today to have to formally cancel the “Awake Tour.” We would have loved nothing more than to worship with you in person this year and our hearts long for the day that this will be a reality. Our team have not ceased working on options for a rescheduled tour and until very recently were operating in hope that this would be possible but given there is not a short-term end in sight to the restrictions that apply not just within the U.S. but internationally, we did not feel it was fair to you, our ticket-holders for us to prolong cancellation of the tour any further.
We wanted to be completely transparent with you and detail some of the key factors in this decision since we know many of you will not be aware of the international travel restrictions that apply to us but do not affect many of the other teams/artists you love who are based in the U.S. and will be able to resume live events before we are.
For those unaware, the majority of our Hillsong Worship team (including worship leaders, musicians, production team, management team) are based out of our Hillsong church in Sydney, Australia.
At this time, the Australian borders remain closed for everything but essential travel, and touring activity does not fall within these parameters, so our Australian based team are not permitted to leave Australia. Even if the scope of allowable travel is expanded, upon return to Australia all incoming travelers are required to enter a mandatory quarantine period of two weeks in a government approved facility. This would mean that above and beyond the duration of travel, rehearsals and the tour itself, our team would be away from their spouses and families for an additional two weeks in a quarantine facility. As you can imagine, this is not something that is pastorally tolerable to us for the individuals and families who make up our Hillsong Worship team.

We thank you for your grace and patience. Our commitment to Christ’s church remains unwavering. We will continue to create, equip, innovate and above all WORSHIP for the glory of God. We will do all that we can to resource you in this time and pray that it will be a blessing to you.
In Psalm 23:6, King David declared with faith that, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” This is a truth for every season, whether we are together physically or connecting digitally from our homes. Until we can gather again, please remember that the presence of God is not an event or a moment, but a promise and a reality for every child of God. As You seek, obey and delight in Jesus in your everyday life, we believe His presence and goodness overshadow you in a profound way.
“Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you.” 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 (NKJV)
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We will be in touch soon. The Hillsong Worship Team
