Noah Kahan’s Queens Concert Canceled Due to Inclement Weather: ‘I’m Devastated’
Noah Kahan was forced to cancel his Saturday evening concert at Citi Field in Queens after organisers determined that dangerous weather conditions posed too great a risk to attendees and crew. Though the concert team attempted to salvage the show by postponing doors and removing opening acts, severe thunderstorms, heavy rain and strong winds in the forecast made it impossible to proceed safely. Stadium officials and Kahan's team made the difficult decision to scrap the date rather than gamble with public safety.
Kahan addressed the cancellation on social media, expressing deep disappointment whilst acknowledging that fans had travelled significant distances and spent months anticipating the show. Rather than commit to a rescheduled date far in the future—given his tour is already booked through December—organisers opted to cancel the Saturday slot entirely. Kahan's second Queens performance at Citi Field, scheduled for Sunday, remains on the calendar subject to improved weather conditions. Another outdoor concert in the area by electronic group Zeds Dead was similarly postponed to August.
In short
- Noah Kahan's Saturday concert at Citi Field in Queens was cancelled due to severe thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds in the forecast
- Organisers initially delayed the show but determined conditions were too unsafe; Kahan apologised to fans who had travelled and made plans
- His Sunday performance at the same venue remains scheduled if weather permits; the tour is booked through December, so no rescheduling date was set
Explained simply
Noah Kahan is an American folk-pop singer-songwriter who has built a significant fanbase through touring and streaming. He had scheduled outdoor concerts at Citi Field in Queens, New York, as part of his broader tour schedule.
Large outdoor concerts are inherently vulnerable to severe weather, and dangerous conditions such as thunderstorms can pose genuine safety risks to crowds of thousands. When organisers cancel a concert due to weather, it disappoints fans who may have travelled significant distances and anticipated the event for months, but preventing potential harm is prioritised.
Rescheduling a cancelled concert is often challenging because touring musicians have extensive schedules booked far in advance with little flexibility for insertion of replacement dates. Weather-related disruptions to outdoor events are not uncommon, and similar cancellations have affected other concerts in the region.
