KATSEYE postpones Chicago and Minneapolis shows after Megan falls ill
The group postponed its Nov. 5 Chicago concert and Nov. 7 Minneapolis date, citing Megan Skiendiel’s illness. Chicago ticket holders were told what to do while they await a new date.
KATSEYE postponed its Nov. 5 show at Chicago’s United Center and its scheduled Nov. 7 concert at Minneapolis’ Target Center after venues cited Megan Skiendiel’s illness. The Chicago venue told fans not to travel because the doors would not open; the group said Skiendiel was unable to perform and needed time to recover.
What Chicago ticket holders were told
The United Center said tickets and VIP packages would be valid for a rescheduled date. Chicago ticket holders who cannot attend that date can seek a refund to their original payment method, the Chicago Tribune reported. No replacement date had been announced in either report. Billboard said Target Center posted a statement matching Chicago’s announcement, apart from the instruction not to travel; its report did not detail Minneapolis ticket or refund arrangements.
The Tribune quoted KATSEYE saying Skiendiel was “unwell and unable to perform tonight” and that the group wanted to make sure she had time to “rest and recover.” The announcements attributed the postponements to illness but did not identify a diagnosis.
How the postponements fit KATSEYE’s tour
The Chicago notice came several hours before showtime, according to the Tribune. It contrasted that with KATSEYE’s Detroit concert, postponed on Nov. 3 less than an hour before its scheduled start, citing the Detroit Free Press. Billboard also reported the Detroit postponement. The group’s Chicago and Minneapolis dates are the two additional shows covered by Thursday’s announcements.
KATSEYE’s North American tour began in Miami on Oct. 13, following a nine-date European leg, Billboard reported. The tour supports the group’s WILD EP. Billboard said the tour is scheduled to continue through the end of 2026, including two Mexico City dates, then resume next year with 14 shows in Asia and Australia.
The four touring members are part of a group that began the year with six, the Tribune reported. Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza are on hiatus, according to Billboard. The Tribune also reported that KATSEYE canceled a planned August festival appearance after Skiendiel sprained an ankle. The latest postponements follow that earlier disruption, though the reports do not connect the ankle injury to her current illness.
Billboard reported that none of the four touring members had addressed the postponements on their personal Instagram profiles at the time of its report. The immediate next step for Chicago ticket holders is to keep their tickets while awaiting the new date or seek a refund if they cannot attend. Fans in both cities are awaiting rescheduled dates; neither report confirmed that either concert had been rescheduled.
