KATSEYE is dropping out of Olivia Rodrigo‘s Daisy Chain Fields festival this weekend after Megan sprained her ankle during a rehearsal, she confirmed on Thursday.
“We’re so sorry to share that we are unable to perform at Daisy Chain Fields,” Megan wrote in a post shared on her Instagram Story on Thursday. “Yesterday I sprained my ankle during tour rehearsal and my doctors have advised me to stay off it and let it heal so I can be ready for tour. I’m heartbroken to miss Daisy Chain Fields, especially because of everything this festival stands for.”
KATSEYE was one of over a dozen acts slated to play Daisy Chain Fields in Irvine on Saturday, alongside others including Doechii, Chappell Roan, Mitski and of course Rodrigo, who founded the festival this year as a charitable endeavor, with the net proceeds going to a swath of non-profits including Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights and Baby2Baby among others.
“I’m sending all my love to Olivia and to all of the incredible artists, non-profit organizations and volunteers who have given their time to make this day so special. It’s going to be such an amazing day; and I can’t wait to see everyone out on tour,” Megan wrote Thursday.
Megan’s injury is just the latest in a particularly volatile few months for the girl group. Fellow member Manon went on hiatus from the group back in February to “focus on her health and well-being,” while Sophia also confirmed earlier this month that she’d go on hiatus as well.
Despite those speed bumps, KATSEYE has still managed to only grow more popular, with the group securing their first No. 1 album last week with their latest EP Wild.
