Chappell Roan has sparked complaints from fans after canceling two upcoming shows at short notice, blaming “scheduling conflicts.”
The “Pink Pony Club” singer, 26, announced on social media this morning (August 29): “Due to scheduling conflicts, I have had to make the extremely hard decision to cancel my Paris and Amsterdam shows.
“I have rescheduled my Berlin show to 23 September. I am so sorry & very disappointed :( I promise I will be back. I’m heartbroken. thank you for understanding.”
She had been due to perform at Columbiahalle in Berlin on August 31, Le Bataclan in Paris on September 3, and at Melkweg in Amsterdam on September 4.
In a follow-up post, Roan added: “Ticket holders for Paris and Amsterdam – refund will come from point of purchase. Berlin, your tickets will be automatically transferred over to the new date.”
Several fans took to social media to express their disappointment that the shows had been canceled or postponed so close to the event.

One said : “i love chappell but cancelling a show 5 days before because of ‘scheduling’ conflicts when the rumour had been going around for weeks already is kinda s***ty.”
Another wrote : “thank you chappell for announcing the cancellation of your shows 5 days before they happen which means i cannot get the money back for my bus to paris bc i could only cancel it up to 7 days before my trip.”
Some felt the reason given was insincere, with one arguing : “oh ‘scheduling conflicts’ is always a pretty way of saying ‘we found something more interesting for my career than a little European show’.”
Other fans weighed in to argue artists should be expected to stick ton announced tour dates, with one writing : “(lemme preface: not about chappell specifically but a wider convo) i will never understand constantly cancelling shows for “scheduling conflicts” your show was scheduled first and your fans booked time off work, arranged transport, hotels etc. maybe stick to your schedule idk.”
The Independent has approached Roan’s representatives for comment.
