Katseye sparks backlash after canceling Detroit concert 30 minutes before showtime

Katseye postponed its sold-out Detroit concert 30 minutes before the scheduled 8pm start after member Megan Skiendiel became unwell. The late notice left fans upset and drew criticism from parents who had travelled long distances and spent heavily to attend.

The venue announced the postponement at 7.30pm and said the concert would be rescheduled. One mother said she had driven five and a half hours and spent about $5,000 on VIP tickets, travel and outfits; another described children crying inside the arena. Three members had already taken part in a VIP meet-and-greet and performed two songs at soundcheck. The six-member group, formed in 2024, has also had two members on hiatus and received two Grammy nominations this year.
