KATSEYE withdraw from Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine, California, scheduled for this Saturday. Multiple outlets report that the group cancels its set after a member suffers an ankle injury during tour rehearsals.
KATSEYE announces the decision in statements posted to social media, saying it “breaks our hearts” to disappoint fans and acknowledging the disappointment of canceling the appearance. Coverage agrees the injured member is Megan Skiendiel and that the injury involves a strained/sprained ankle. The Los Angeles Times, Channel NewsAsia, and Variety describe the pullout as occurring over the member’s injury, while PinkNews similarly ties the cancellation directly to the incident.
Stereogum adds that the festival finds a replacement: Devon Again is revealed as stepping in after KATSEYE’s withdrawal. Other reports focus primarily on the cancellation announcement and the reason for it, rather than details of any substitute act.
