Chappell Roan Cancels Shows In Amsterdam & Paris

Chappell Roan, who ascended tremendously this summer, announced she has canceled her upcoming dates in Amsterdam and Paris. The pop star who graced the cover of Pollstar magazine between her dates at Governor’s Ball and Bonnaroo became an international success in just a few months, and has been outspoken in her struggles with handling her sudden fame. She shared the upcoming dates were canceled due to scheduling conflicts, and that she plans to return to the cities when she can.

The shows were scheduled to take place on Sept. 3 and 4 respectively, and Roan shared the news on her Instagram stories. She also rescheduled her Berlin date, which will now take place on Sept. 23.

“Due to scheduling conflicts I have had to make the extremely hard decision to cancel my Paris and Amsterdam shows,” she said. “I have rescheduled my Berlin show to 23 September. I am so very sorry and very disappointed. I promise promise I will be back. I’m heartbroken. Thank you for understanding. Ticket holders for Paris and Amsterdam – refund will come from point of purchase. Berlin, your tickets will automatically be transferred over to the new date.”

Additional tickets for Berlin will be available on Aug. 30 at 10 a.m. CEST.

Roan is represented by Wasserman Music’s Jacki Nalpant and Kiely Mosiman in North and South America, and Wasserman Music UK’s Adele Slater and Anna Bewers worldwide (excluding North America). She’s broken records with her festival plays and been bumped up to larger stages throughout the summer, and reportedly had the largest-ever attended daytime set at this year’s Lollapalooza in Chicago. She’s performed amphitheaters in June, including Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, North Carolina, to 5,550 fans on June 12, the show grossing $211,067, according to reports submitted to Pollstar’s Boxoffice.

Roan, born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, shared a statement on her social media pages last weekend that “women don’t owe you shit,” in reference to boundary-crossing from supposed fans.

“For the past 10 years I’ve been going non-stop to build my project and it’s come to the point that I need to draw lines and set boundaries,” she said. “I want to be an artist for a very very long time. I’ve been in too many nonconsensual physical and social interactions and I just need to lay it out and remind you, women don’t owe you shit. I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child, I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it. When I’m on stage, when I’m performing, when I’m in drag, when I’m at a work event, when I’m doing press… I am at work. Any other circumstance, I am not in work mode. I am clocked out. I don’t agree with the notion that I owe a mutual exchange of energy, time, or attention to people I do not know, do not trust, or who creep me out – just because they’re expressing admiration.”
