Chappell Roan cancels 2 festival performances: ‘Things have gotten overwhelming’


Chappell Roan has decided to pull out of two festival performances, explaining that she is “unable to perform.”

 

The artist known for “Hot to Go” revealed on social media that she would no longer be performing at festivals in New York City and Maryland’s All Things Go music festival, stating the need to “prioritize my health.”

“I’m really sorry to those who were excited to see me in NYC and DC this weekend at All Things Go, but I can’t perform. It’s been a lot to handle these past few weeks, and it’s weighing on me,” she shared on her Instagram story on Friday. “I feel a lot of pressure juggling various commitments right now, and I need a few days to focus on my well-being. I want to be fully present and give my best performances. Thank you for understanding. I’ll be back soon xoxo.”

 

The festival, which is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, posted a screenshot of Roan’s story with a message of support: “We support you Chappell Roan ❤️”

 

Roan’s fame skyrocketed this year following her 2023 album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” serving as an opening act on Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour, and her performances at festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo, and an incredible set at Lollapalooza last month.

 

This week, Roan has also been in the news regarding her political views, following an interview published in the Guardian last Friday.

 

“I don’t feel pressured to endorse anyone,” she told the UK-based news source. “There are issues on both sides. I urge everyone to think critically and vote — focus on local politics, vote for what’s happening in your community.”

 

Following backlash for her comments, Roan took to social media to clarify her stance, insisting that her words were “misunderstood” and that she will not support former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.

 

“I won’t settle for what’s been offered,” she said in a TikTok video posted on Wednesday. “I will always question those in authority and those making decisions affecting others, and I will advocate for what’s right and what I believe in.”

 

In another TikTok, Roan stated that while she plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, she is not officially endorsing her.

“Endorsing and voting are two separate things,” she explained.

The “Pink Pony Club” artist has used social media platforms to address fan criticism and clarify her actions in the past. In a two-part TikTok from August, she spoke out against the harassment she has faced from some fans.

 

In those videos, the 26-year-old expressed her frustration about fans who feel “entitled” to her time, making it clear that she doesn’t see it as “selfish” to decline requests for photos or hugs.

“That’s not normal,” she remarked. “It’s odd how people assume they know someone just because they follow them online or enjoy their music.”
