Why Did Chappell Roan Cancel Her Upcoming Festival Performances? Here’s What We Know

As a dedicated fan of Chappell Roan, I can’t help but admire her strength and resilience. Her journey from a struggling artist to a viral pop sensation is nothing short of inspiring. However, it’s her courage to prioritize her mental health over her career that truly sets her apart.


Chappell Roan has withdrawn from the All Things Go music festival in both New York City and Maryland due to health concerns. To her fans who were eagerly waiting for her performances, she clarified that she wouldn’t be able to attend because of this reason. She emphasized the importance of prioritizing certain aspects to guarantee an excellent performance in the future.

Roan expressed her apologies on her Instagram story to those anticipating seeing her in NYC and DC this weekend at All Things Go, stating that she’s currently unable to perform due to mental health issues. She explained that the past few weeks have become excessively demanding, causing her to feel overburdened, and as a result, she needs a few days to focus on taking care of herself and addressing her health concerns.

As an utterly devoted fan, let me share this: “Can’t wait to be there when you shine on stage, delivering unforgettable performances! Kudos for your transparency. See you again soon!” Meanwhile, the festival organizers, in a show of empathy and support, posted a screenshot of her story with a heartfelt message that echoed my sentiments.

2023 saw a rapid rise in Roan’s prominence, largely following the release of her album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” and securing the opening spot for Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World tour. Lately, she’s been under the media glare due to her political stances, notably in an interview with The Guardian where she urged voters to think carefully before casting their ballots and declined to openly endorse either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.

After facing criticism over her remarks, she subsequently used her social media platform to explain that she doesn’t support Donald Trump in any manner. Furthermore, Roan emphasized that, although she intends to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, she isn’t endorsing her either.

She explained that casting a vote and issuing an endorsement are two different things altogether.

In her TikTok post, she clearly expressed, “I’ll never stop challenging the powerful and those who dictate others’ lives. I’m committed to standing firm for what I think is just and true.

The artist from The Pink Pony Club has also been confirmed to have severe depression, which she attributes in part to the impact of her newfound fame. In an interview, she shared that a medical professional identified her as someone struggling with persistent depression, brain fog, memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, and low energy levels.

Overcoming various obstacles, Chappell Roan emerged triumphant at the 2024 MTV VMAs by being crowned as the Best New Artist. In her heartfelt speech upon receiving the award, she expressed gratitude towards the queer community for their unwavering support in helping her achieve stardom, not just as a popular artist, but also as “the favorite artist of your favorite artist” and a sensational pop icon.
