On August 29, 2019, she posted two of her tour dates in the ever so awaited Paris and Amsterdam been canceled. These shows were scheduled for 3rd and 4th of September.
In addition to the cancellation of Paris and Amsterdam shows, Roan also affirmed about the Berlin concert reposition. Roan was supposed to perform on August 31; the recent update gave the new date for the Berlin performance as September 23. Circumstance as it is that the fans who were hoping for the Berlin performance will still get to see her as she announced that tickets for the new date will be on sale from 30th August.
Roan first gave the sad news to the followers through X and very much stated how that decision was quite hard for her. She described the cancellations as an “extremely hard decision,” conveying her sincere regret to those who had planned to attend the shows. In her heartfelt message, she wrote, “I am so sorry & very disappointed đ I promise I will be back. Iâm heartbroken đ thank you for understanding.” She made it very clear how much she loved her fansâ love and how painful it is to disappoint them.
Extra Information for the Ticket Holders
For those who had already purchased tickets for the now-canceled Paris and Amsterdam dates, Roan provided crucial information regarding refunds. Â She assured fans that the refund would be carried out by the original source of the payment made and indeed there are no more inconveniences regarding the issues of the refund. Turning to the audience of the now shifted performance, Roan explained that the audience will no longer have to be bothered by the new date, as the previously purchased tickets will be automatically booked for this date.
Even if the cancellation of these tour dates is disheartening, Roan has promised to make it to Europe and reconcile with her fans at a later time. Her apology and the measures she has taken to avoid any further trouble to her supporters, depicts the concern she has for her fans. Even though the news is bleak, the fact that Roan has promised to return to her European audience is a good hope.
Chappell Roan, has recently signed a contract with a record label, but these few months have been eventful in terms of tour schedule changes. The reasons behind these changes are still questionable, and while some base their arguments on the statement made by Roan concerning ââscheduling,â almost everyone who follows her is aware of what really happened. Although Roan has not gone on the record to explain what exactly âscheduling conflictsâ made her skip and reschedule some of her shows having launched a tour in Europe, with the upcoming debut in the MTV VMAs one might speculate. Having said that, the former American Idol contestant has an important performance to make on September 11, the fact that this image based event is so high profile it is possible that this is the reason why she changed her tour dates.
MTV VMAs Debut and European Tour Launch
Chappell Roan’s performance at the MTV VMAs will mark an important milestone in her career. Chappell Roan is expected to take the stage for the first time on September 11, during her performance at The MTV Video Music Awards. Only two days after this exciting event, she will take off for the European leg of her Midwest Princess Tour. The Tour starts in Europe with Manchester as its first port of call on September 13 and is the first of many scheduled performances that the European fans have been anticipating for a long while.
After her show in Manchester, Roan will extend her tour to several more major cities in Europe. After her Manchester show she will continue to entertain people in Glasgow, Dublin, and London, among others. To make the most of her European tour, every one of these locations is very crucial since crowds are very eager to see her perform in these places. Finally, the trip will end with the postponed performance in Berlin on September 23. Originally scheduled for August 31, this performance had to be postponed because of the above-mentioned timing problems.
Once back from the European leg of her tour, Chappell Roan has got many special performances waiting for her back in the United States. On coming back from Europe she is slated to showcase her talent at many more of the prominent music festivals which only add up to the curves of her career. One of these is the famous Austin City Limits where she will take to the stage with other noteworthy performers. Furthermore, Roan will also perform at the All Things Go Music Festival in both New York City and Washington D.C, thus remaining relevant in the music industry.
A Busy Season Ahead
Although filled with various performances and festivals including her interesting debut at the MTV VMAs, it is evident that Chappell Roan is that busy as she moves through this eventful season. Reasons causing her to move some of the tour dates remain unclear, however, it is apparent that her engagements are many and important. As she is fast rising to be among the young pop stars, her fans can bear witness to further developments headlined at the VMAs where she is expected to perform shortly followed by an exciting list of concerts in Europe and the U. S.
Chappell Roan’s postponed and cancelled tour dates are making news again and fans and the media in general canât resist the story. However, thereâs another reason that is still rolling headlines surrounding this talented singer. Apart from her apparent musical and performance achievements, Roan has recently revealed one of the issues that have been bothering her: abuse of fansâher âpredatoryâ remarks.
The âCasualâ singer woke up on the 23rd of August and therefore posted on her Instagram about physical violence just as her normal style accustomed her fans to whole August. In this post, Roan warned that the fans have to respect her right for personal space, particularly with regard to ‘unkind’ physical and social contact and other forms of unconsensual activity. This statement was made within days following August 19, when she created a storm with many childish videos on TikTok/GayTok where several of her followers nearly naked and in submissive postures attempting to engage with what they thought was inappropriate behavior towards her.
Setting Clear Boundaries
Roanâs post on Instagram was largely and clearly stated and therefore invited no misconceptions. She opened by stressing this fact, âItâs very basic because some people need a reminder; women donât panic itâs ok â you donât owe anybody sât.â Roan, on the other hand, explained that what guides her towards her career is the love that she has for music, the love of art and the desire to believe in and protect that inner child in oneself, but she clarified that to go down that route does not mean one has to condone abuse. She particularly dismissed the proposition that because of what she does, people are free to trample her boundaries.
In her lengthy post, Roan explained yet again the reasons why she despises attention-seeking behavior, especially when it is disguised as admiration but is in fact predatory. She indicated that she does not subscribe to the idea that she is contracted by fans to perform favorable acts of energy, time or attention, even though they may be unwelcome to her. âI donât agree with the notion that I owe my former fans a mutual exchange of energy, time or attention even when they creep me out because they admire me, and even when I do not know or trust them,â she stated. Roan was rather emphatic that she was talking about a kind of unacceptable and abusive behavior which is more of a âsuperfanâ but with motives of harassment.
Standing Firm on Her Values
In delving into those concerns publicly, Chappell Roan has not only taken a stand for herself but has also contributed to a more complex discussion, about etiquette, borders, and the treatment of women in society. It is a warning fat, that no person, however great his genius or the rank he occupies in society, ought to be subjected to any unwanted actions that displease and endanger them. When it was time to make an attack against Chappell Roan in her way to the top of the music ladder, she insisted on saving her reputation and personal health.
In the course of her plans, which include the promotion of her music and the engagements with the fans, Roan still does not compromise her position of respect for her own space. Herself in the current period makes those strong proclamations meaning she will not be prepared to have any form of discomfort or feeling unsafe, and she is in the right frame of mind that her followers will also act accordingly. This outspoken and unapologetic attempt to clarify fan behavior precedes a most important moment in her tour, as she prepares to go away again, having changed the dates and speaking about the new exciting shows that are yet to take place.
Despite all of these, Roanâs commitment towards both her work and herself is a constant reminder for all about the importance of boundaries and respect no matter how much of a celebrity one might be.
