Chappell Roan Cancels All Things Go Music Festival Appearance

Chappell Roan has withdrawn from the All Things Go Music Festival, citing the need to focus on her health after facing significant backlash over her recent political comments. The 26-year-old queer pop artist had been scheduled to headline performances in New York and Columbia, Maryland, but announced her decision on Instagram, explaining that the past few weeks had become overwhelming.

The controversy began after an interview with the Guardian, in which Roan expressed disapproval of both major political parties, encouraging fans to critically evaluate their voting choices. Critics accused her of potentially discouraging support for Vice President Kamala Harris, who advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, especially in contrast to former President Donald Trump’s views.

Despite attempts to clarify her stance, Roan faced ongoing criticism and decided to prioritize her well-being. The festival organizers expressed their support for her decision, urging fans to rally around her with understanding. Roan ended her message with a heart symbol, emphasizing her desire to deliver the best performances possible.
