Girl group Katseye will no longer perform at Olivia Rodrigo’s upcoming Daisy Chain Fields Festival in Irvine, California. The sudden exit comes just days before the event, leaving fans disappointed. The group officially broke the news to their followers through a social media statement, revealing that an unexpected medical setback forced them to pull out of the star-studded lineup. The culprit behind the sudden cancellation is a physical injury sustained by group member Megan Skiendiel. According to the pop starlets, Megan suffered an ankle injury that prevents her from taking the stage. Because the six-piece global sensation relies heavily on intense choreography and synchronized routines, attempting a full festival set without Megan—or rushing her recovery process—was simply off the table for the group and their management team.

The group shared how excited they had been to share the stage with Olivia Rodrigo and connect with West Coast fans. They candidly admitted that making the choice to bow out was painful, explaining to their audience that the decision truly broke their hearts. Despite the setback, the musical act emphasized that Megan Skiendiel's health and long-term recovery must remain their top priority. Performing high-energy pop sets requires peak physical condition, and forcing a performance with a hurt ankle could lead to severe long-term complications. The team assured followers that Megan is taking the necessary time off to rest, heal, and prepare for future engagements safely.
