Devon Again joins Olivia Rodrigo festival lineup
Devon Again confirmed the booking on Instagram, where she described her surprise appearance as an honor. She said she was unbelievably honoured to be part of the special day and hoped fans would attend her set. Her addition has also led to a change in the Dandelion Stage schedule. Santigold's performance has been moved to 2:15 pm, while Devon Again is now scheduled to perform from 1:05 pm to 1:35 pm.
The musician will join a major lineup featuring Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, Bikini Kill, Garbage and The Breeders. Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Karen O are also among the special guests.
KATSEYE withdraws after Megan’s ankle injury
KATSEYE announced its withdrawal on Weverse after Megan suffered the injury during tour rehearsals. According to the group, Megan was evaluated by doctors and was advised to stay off her ankle so that it could heal properly ahead of the group’s upcoming tour.
The group’s disappointment was also shared with fans, who had been looking forward to seeing them at the festival. KATSEYE said the event’s focus on joy and community had made it particularly excited to perform.
Megan’s injury comes as KATSEYE continues preparations for its upcoming tour without members Sophia Laforteza and Manon Bannerman, who are both taking temporary breaks from activities.
