Chappell Roan has announced that she will not be performing at All Things Go this weekend. The breakout pop star had been due to play the festival’s New York edition, on Saturday, September 28, and the Columbia, Maryland, edition, on Sunday, September 29. “Things have gotten overwhelming over the past few weeks and I am really feeling it,” she wrote. “I feel pressures to prioritize a lot of things right now and I need a few days to prioritize my health. I want to be present when I perform and give the best shows possible.” Find Roan and the festival’s statements below.
Roan has spoken about the realities of her newfound fame in recent interviews with Rolling Stone and The Guardian. In the latter interview, she also discussed her reticence to endorse political candidates, explaining, “There’s problems on both sides. I encourage people to use your critical thinking skills, use your vote—vote small, vote for what’s going on in your city.” She expanded on her position in two TikTok videos and said that she will be voting for the Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, in November’s U.S. presidential election, clarifying, “Endorsing and voting are completely different.”
Roan released her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, last year. The 2024 single “Good Luck, Babe!” brought her music to an even wider audience. She is due to perform on Saturday Night Live in November.
