Katseye has postponed a second concert in Chicago, just hours after cancelling their previous show 30 minutes before showtime.
“We’re sorry to announce that tonight’s Katseye show at the United Center has been postponed due to Megan’s illness,” a post shared via X on Thursday began, referencing group member Megan Skiendiel.
The post — shared by the venue — urged fans not to approach the venue, as “doors will not open for tonight’s show,” and expressed regret for the inconvenience.
“Please hold onto your tickets,” the post continued, promising that they’ll be valid for a date to be announced.
Refunds will be available for those who cannot attend the new date, the post clarified. “Thank you for your patience and understanding,” the upload concluded.
Also on Thursday, the Target Center in Minnesota announced the cancellation of Saturday’s Minneapolis show, citing Skiendiel’s “illness” and promising a rescheduled date.
The latest announcements come after they cancelled their Tuesday evening concert at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit — citing Skiendiel’s mystery illness — less than an hour before showtime.
Fans had already gathered at the venue to see Skiendiel, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Yoonchae Jeung, Manon Bannerman, and Sophia Laforteza perform at 8 p.m.
However, screens at the venue informed attendees at 7:30 p.m. that the pop group would not take the stage as scheduled.
“We’re sorry to share that the Katseye show scheduled for tonight at Little Caesars Arena has been postponed due to illness,” the message read, noting that the show would be rescheduled.
The group later divulged that Skiendiel was “unwell and unable to perform” on Wednesday — but that didn’t stop heartbroken fans from “burst[ing] into tears,” mom Megan Schikora told the Detroit News of the debacle.
Schikora, who accompanied her 10-year-old daughter to the arena, told the outlet that “It was so awful and it was so sad.”
Schikora also questioned why the cancellation was “so last second,” noting that it was “insanely close to showtime.”
The mom called the cancellation “suspect,” saying if “someone is sick,” that “should have been established well before 7:30.”
Jessica Lenhardt, a mom from Skokie, Illinois, told FOX 2 that she’d spent upwards of $5,000 on travel, clothing, and VIP tickets for her 8- and 10-year-old daughters.
“So I do think that if things were going wrong since the morning or even a day before, we should’ve been notified maybe 24 hours at least in advance, and they could’ve saved a lot of people coming from out of town the time and effort to get there,” she told the outlet.
Following Thursday’s announcement, however, some fans expressed growing concern for Skiendiel.
“And this could’ve been said earlier but what the hell sure. im hoping megan is doing okay and sending so much love to the girls 🥲🤍” one person wrote via X, while another remarked, “Get well soon Megan 👑🩷”
