British singer-songwriter Lola Young has officially cancelled all upcoming events “for the foreseeable future” after collapsing mid-performance at the All Things Go festival in New York on September 27, 2025. In a follow-up post on September 30, she told fans she’s “going away for a while,” prioritising recovery and promising refunds for affected dates. Here’s the full update, why the decision matters, and what it means for her fast-rising era around the new album I’m Only F**king Myself. People.com
What happened?
During her set at Forest Hills Stadium, Young faltered while performing “Conceited” and was helped off stage by crew and medics. Fellow artist Remi Wolf later reassured the crowd that Young was “okay,” and Young herself posted soon after to confirm she was recovering. The next day, she withdrew from the Washington, D.C. edition of the festival and apologised to fans.
The official update: cancellations and a pause
On September 30, Young announced that she is cancelling all future engagements to focus on her health and well-being. In the statement shared to Instagram, she expressed regret for disappointing fans, emphasised that refunds will be issued, and asked for compassion as she steps back to recover. Multiple outlets corroborated the announcement and timing. Vogue
Why this pause is significant
- Proximity to a major album release. Young’s third studio album, I’m Only F**king Myself, arrived on September 19, 2025, just days before the incident, meaning the halt intersects a critical promo window with planned UK and North American dates. Wikipedia
- A pattern of overexertion and openness. Young has spoken candidly about mental health and recovery; she had already skipped a September 26 show due to a “sensitive matter,” then tried to perform on the 27th before collapsing. That transparency, paired with a decisive hiatus, signals a clear health-first stance.
- No splitting hairs on refunds. Rather than rescheduling piecemeal, she moved swiftly to cancel and refund, reducing uncertainty for ticket-holders and partners.
Is Lola Young okay?
From her posts and subsequent reporting: Yes, she indicated she’s okay now, but needs time. The exact medical cause has not been disclosed publicly, and outlets are reporting it as a health scare / fainting episode without definitive diagnosis. Respecting that privacy, the only firm takeaway is that Young and her team opted for a full reset rather than risk further incidents.
Will the tour be rescheduled?
There’s no reschedule timeline yet. All messaging frames this as an indefinite pause (“going away for a while”), which typically means new dates won’t be discussed until she and her medical team are confident. Fans should treat original tickets as cancelled and watch her official channels for any future announcements. Teen Vogue
Why the news is blowing up
- Viral moment & immediate clarity. On-stage incidents spread fast; Young addressed it quickly and directly, which fuels conversation without speculation spirals.
- A breakout year interrupted. After a high-visibility 2025 (festivals, TV spots) and a new record, the contrast between momentum and pause creates a bigger headline, and more empathy.
- Authenticity resonates. Her request for kindness toward online critics and her frank apology/thanks to fans have been widely quoted, aligning with a broader industry shift that prioritises artist health.
Context: the new album era
I’m Only F**king Myself is Young’s third LP, released via Island Records, featuring singles like “One Thing,” “Not Like That Anymore,” and “Dealer.” The album arrived to strong fan interest and was poised to anchor fall promo. That backdrop explains why her statement explicitly highlighted well-being over promotion, a choice many fans (and media) have praised.
What fans should do now
- Check your point of purchase for automatic refunds; Young’s statement commits to refunding all cancelled dates.
- Follow her official Instagram for any health notes or future plans; secondary reporting generally mirrors what she posts first. Instagram
- Beware of unofficial “replacement” shows or resell listings; there is no active tour calendar while she’s on hiatus. (Rely on label/artist pages or Ticketmaster/venue sites only.)
Why cancelling was the right call
From an artist-care standpoint, pushing through after a collapse risks compounding issues, vocally, physically, and mentally. A clean cancellation lets Young reset without the relentless pressure of rolling commitments. For fans, clear refunds beat rolling postponements; for venues and promoters, it prevents last-minute scrambles. In short: short-term disappointment, long-term sustainability, and a better chance the next run happens safely and confidently.
The bottom line
- Incident: Collapsed on stage at All Things Go NYC (Sep 27).
- Update: Cancelled all upcoming shows “for the foreseeable future,” refunds assured (Sep 30).
- Status: Recovering; cause not publicly specified; no reschedule yet.
- Album: I’m Only F**king Myself released Sep 19, momentum paused while she heals.
