KATSEYE will no longer perform at Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine, California, after member Megan Skiendiel suffered an ankle injury during tour rehearsals. In a statement shared ahead of the event, the group said doctors advised Megan to rest and avoid putting additional strain on the injury.
The cancellation comes just before the festival’s August 29 date at Great Park. The group said it was disappointed to miss the event and sent support to Rodrigo, the artists, volunteers, nonprofits, and fans taking part in the festival.
Daisy Chain Fields is set to feature a women-led lineup that includes Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, Bikini Kill, Garbage, The Breeders, and other performers.
KATSEYE is also preparing for its upcoming WILD WORLD Tour, making Megan’s recovery a priority before the group returns to the stage. No replacement act has been announced in connection with KATSEYE’s withdrawal.
The festival is designed around live music, community, and partnerships with nonprofit organizations.
