Noah Kahan fans were left disappointed Saturday after the singer canceled his highly anticipated concert at New York City's Citi Field—and, unlike many weather-related postponements, no rescheduled date was announced.
The last-minute decision came after an afternoon of mixed messages. Around 2 p.m., Kahan's team told ticket holders they were "continuing to closely monitor the inclement weather" and were "planning to proceed with tonight's show at Citi Field with revised set times."
The update said doors would open later than planned, support performances had been canceled, and fans were asked not to arrive early as organizers continued monitoring the forecast.
Just a few hours later, those plans changed. Around 6 p.m., Kahan's team announced the concert had officially been canceled "due to inclement weather."
"This was a very difficult decision to make, but the first priority is always to keep everyone safe," the statement read. Rather than announcing a makeup date, organizers said ticket holders would receive refunds through their original point of purchase, with Ticketmaster purchases refunded automatically.
Kahan also shared the announcement on his Instagram Story, writing, "Exhausted every option to make this happen... love you guys."
While many fans agreed safety had to come first, others said they were frustrated that no effort was made to reschedule the performance for another date, especially for those who had traveled to New York specifically for the concert.
“People aren’t mad at Noah. People are mad because they cancelled it an hour before doors, people aren’t getting refunded for parking and travel, and there’s no real explanation or rescheduling or compensation ,” one shared on Threads.
Another wrote, “So we don’t get a reschedule date and thousands are put out and Noah HQ are plugging the next night merch on insta?! As if nothing has happened. Talk about tone deaf. That sucks."
“NGL crying in my bug shirt and my braids cause it didn’t actually dawn on me at any point today it would be straight up canceled instead of rescheduled,” said a third.
Things on X got a little more heated, with one posting, "wasted everyone’s days and not even a rescheduled show? Shame on @NoahKahan."
There is somewhat of a silver lining, though. Kahan’s team announced that for fans hoping to get their hands on merch, it will be available tomorrow starting at 9 am at the stadium.
Kahan wasn't the only artist forced to alter weekend plans because of severe weather. Thomas Rhettand Niall Horan also postponed their co-headlining concert in Hershey, Pennsylvania. However, the pair were able to move the show to the following night, allowing existing tickets to remain valid while also offering refunds for fans who could no longer attend.
