What happened at All Things Go
British pop singer Lola Young has paused her touring plans after an alarming onstage moment in New York. The 24-year-old, known for her hit Messy and her candid discussions about mental health, collapsed while performing Conceited at the All Things Go festival at Forest Hills Stadium. The visual of her swaying and then falling backward followed by a pause in the set sent her audience into a brief moment of concern before she was helped offstage.
Young later canceled her Sunday appearance at the same festival, which was taking place in Washington, DC. The incident and the subsequent cancellations ripple through her schedule, adding to a list of recent stops that saw postponements in both the U.S. and Europe.
The message to fans
In a candid Instagram post issued on Tuesday, Young explained that she would be “going away for a while” and that she would cancel all shows for the foreseeable future. She offered heartfelt apologies to those who had bought tickets and reassured fans that refunds would be issued. “I’m going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future. Thank you for all the love and support. I’m so sorry to let anyone down who has bought a ticket to see me,” she wrote. She also asked for fans’ understanding and expressed a desire to return stronger, adding that she hoped for a second chance once she’d had time to work on herself.
The post aligns with Young’s public advocacy for mental health, a topic she has spoken about openly in the past. The musician, who released her third studio album I’m Only F**king Myself, has previously discussed the pressures of touring and the importance of taking care of one’s well-being.
Upcoming plans and what’s on hold
As of now, Young’s previously announced October shows across England and Scotland are in question, with tour dates in the United States, Mexico, and Canada listed for November and December. The postponement also echoes earlier decisions, including a canceled performance at New Jersey’s Prudential Centre on Friday prior to the All Things Go incident. The broad plan outlined for 2026 included performances across South America and Europe, highlighting how a single health episode can reshape an artist’s calendar.
Industry reaction and support
Onstage, fellow artists and fans responded with solidarity. Doechii, who performed after Young, urged the crowd to send their love and support for Young, telling the audience, “She’s an incredibly talented artist, and she wasn’t feeling well tonight… Let’s wish her the best.” The moment underscored how closely the music community watches each other’s well-being, especially when tours are dynamic and grueling.
<h2 Recognition amid the pause
Despite the touring pause, Lola Young remains in the public eye for other reasons. Earlier in the week, she earned a nomination in the best pop video category at the 2025 UK Music Video Awards for her song One Thing. The nomination serves as a reminder of her artistic impact even as she steps back from live shows to recover.

For ticket holders, Young confirmed refunds would be available, a gesture that many fans will appreciate as they navigate the loss of anticipated performances. While the immediate focus is on her health and recovery, the situation reflects a broader industry emphasis on ensuring artists have the space to preserve their mental health without sacrificing fans’ support in the long run.
As Lola Young takes this time to go away and recover, listeners and concert-goers alike will be watching for updates about when she will return to the stage. Her team has indicated that future appearances may be re-scheduled, with the hope that the artist will come back stronger and more focused on well-being and artistry alike.
