Singer Poppy withdrew from her scheduled performance at Upheaval Festival in Grand Rapids, Michigan on July 17 after wildfire smoke degraded air quality to hazardous levels exceeding an AQI of 350. Rather than proceed with the full set, her backing band delivered an instrumental rendition whilst wearing respirator masks to mitigate exposure to the poor air conditions.

Michigan was operating under a statewide air quality alert due to elevated fine particulate matter from wildfire smoke affecting much of the Lower Peninsula. Festival organisers had stated beforehand that attendee safety was their paramount concern whilst monitoring conditions throughout the day. This represents the second occasion this season when environmental circumstances have disrupted Poppy's live performances, following a lightning-related interruption to her Welcome to Rockville set in May.
