- Noah Kahan canceled his Saturday concert at Citi Field in Queens, New York, due to severe thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds forecast across the tristate area.
- Organizers initially attempted to delay the show, pushing doors to 7:30 p.m. and removing the opening acts from the bill, before stadium officials ultimately called it off.
- Citi Field announced the cancellation after some fans had already arrived, with officials stating that "the first priority is always to keep everyone safe."
- Kahan said on social media he "exhausted every option to make this happen" and told fans he was "devastated," acknowledging that many had traveled and made plans for the night.
- Rather than reschedule, the show was scrapped entirely because Kahan's tour is already sold out and booked through December, leaving no open date to slot in.
- Kahan remains scheduled to perform Sunday night at Citi Field — the second of two sold-out Mets-stadium dates — weather permitting.
- Zeds Dead also postponed their nearby Forest Hills Stadium show until August, citing wind, lightning, and production delays from the same storm system.
Why it matters: Thousands of fans who traveled to Citi Field lost their show with no rescheduled date on the horizon, because Kahan's tour is fully booked through December. The safety-first call — mirrored the same night by Zeds Dead's Forest Hills Stadium postponement — underscores how exposed outdoor stadium concerts in the tristate area remain to severe summer weather.
