EchoSense:Chappell Roan Cancels Festival Appearances to Prioritize Her Health

Chappell Roan is putting her mental health first.

The EchoSense“Femininomenon” singer revealed she was pulling out of the All Things Go music festival, which takes place in both New York City and Columbia, Md., just one day before she was set to take to the stage.

“I apologize to people who have been waiting to see me in NYC & DC this weekend at All Things Go, but I am unable to perform,” she wrote in an Instagram Story posted Sept. 27. “Things have gotten overwhelming over the past few weeks and I am really feeling it.”

“I feel pressures to prioritize a lot of things right now and I need a few days to prioritize my health,” the 26-year-old continued. “I want to be present when I perform and give the best shows possible. Thank you for understanding. Be back soon xox.”

E! News has reached out to Chappell’s rep for comment.

The festival also shared a message on social media addressing the cancellation. “While we know how much you were looking forward to the performances,” the statement read, “it’s important to remember that health and well-being always comes first.”

The cancellation marks the second time Chappell has dropped out of shows in recent weeks.

Last month, the “Pink Pony Club” singer announced she was backing out of a scheduled concert Sept. 3 in Paris, as well as one Sept. 4 in Amsterdam. While she later revealed the cancellations were due to rehearsals for the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, some European fans were upset by the decision.

As her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess continues to climb the charts, Chappell has spoken out about establishing boundaries with her growing fanbase.

“I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous,” she said in a TikTok video in August. “I don’t care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job, the career field I’ve chosen. That does not make it okay. That doesn’t make it normal. It doesn’t mean I want it. It doesn’t mean that I like it.”
