Noah Kahan Apologizes for Canceled NYC Show, Vows to Play in a 'Volcano'
After a storm derailed a night in Queens, the singer offered a volcanic promise to his fans—and a rare glimpse into his touring record.
Noah Kahan offered a colorful and sincere apology during his July 19 concert at Citi Field in New York City, addressing the last-minute cancellation of his July 18 show due to severe weather.
"I just want to apologize for the cancellation of our show last night," Kahan said during the show, per video captured by E! News. The 29-year-old singer acknowledged the fans who had waited in the rain. "I am so f--king sorry for the folks that stood all day out in the rain and traveled. I’ve been thinking about you guys."
He emphasized that the decision was a last resort. "I promise you we did everything we could, weird s--t to try to reschedule it," he told the crowd. Kahan put the rare cancellation in context, noting that in nine years of touring and about 500 shows, he has canceled only six times. "I promise you I would play in a f--king volcano—in the hole of a volcano—for you all," he declared.
The venue, Citi Field, had previously announced the cancellation, reportedly citing thunderstorms, record rainfall, flooding, and tornado warnings in the area. Their statement reportedly said the priority was keeping everyone safe. No further details about rescheduling the canceled July 18 show have been announced.
