KATSEYE Withdraws From Olivia Rodrigo Festival 2 Days Before Show After Megan Sprains Ankle

3 articles · Updated · Billboard · Aug 27

KATSEYE said it will no longer perform at Daisy Chain Fields on Saturday in Irvine, California, announcing the cancellation two days before the festival.
Megan sprained her ankle during tour rehearsal a day earlier, and doctors told her to stay off it so she can heal ahead of the group’s upcoming tour.
Devon Again will replace KATSEYE on the updated lineup for Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural all-women festival, whose proceeds support charities for women and girls including Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights.
The setback adds to a difficult 2026 for KATSEYE: Manon went on hiatus in February for mental health reasons, and Sophia stepped back earlier in August, leaving four active members before this latest withdrawal.
