Chappell Roan Declares ‘Things Have Gotten Overwhelming’ As She Cancels Her Appearance At The All Things Go Festival

Chappell Roan has become a major festival draw, which she proved earlier this year with what looked like one of the biggest crowds Lollapalooza has ever seen . So, folks attending this weekend’s All Things Go festival in New York face some disappointing news today (September 27): Roan was set to perform, but now she’s pulling out.

In a post shared on her Instagram story ( as captured by Variety ), Roan explained that “things have gotten overwhelming” recently, saying:

“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. 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. I want to be present when I perform and give the best shows possible. Thank you for understanding

Be back soon xox.”

In recent times, Roan has faced criticism over some political statements she’s made . Earlier this week, she celebrated the one-year anniversary of her album The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess and noted her life “has been amazing and hard and beautiful and eye opening and empowering and transformative and every emotion ever.”
