Weeks after Olivia Rodrigo spoke out about this disturbing concert trend, Noah Kahan implored fans to “just go to the bathroom.”
Noah Kahan reveals his feelings on release of song ‘The Great Divide’
Noah Kayhan talks with USA TODAY’s Ralphie Aversa about the release of his new single “The Great Divide,” the title track from his fourth album.
Noah Kahan is speaking out about an unpleasant habit that some music fans have picked up on.
The “Stick Season” singer appealed to fans not to defecate on themselves at his shows, following a viral TikTok video showing graphic footage of him defecating on the ground at one of his concerts.
Kahan wrote on June 27: “If you have to poop at a show, please go to the bathroom LOL.” “I’ve pooped in my pants as much as the next 29-year-old, but you have to understand that there are venue employees who will give you a 1000-yard stare after dealing with it.”
Kahan is having fun with the affair, having fans recite a pledge at a recent show in Toronto that he won’t defecate in his pants, or if he does, he won’t “take it off my pants” and put it on the floor.
The folk singer is currently participating in “The Great Divide Tour,” which kicks off on June 11th and will feature approximately 60 performances in North America and Europe. The tour ends in Paris in December.
He previously told USA TODAY that he first performed “The Great Divide” during a set in Texas about two years ago. The singer added that the song was evolving and was completed several months ago.
“For us, it’s always special when we have a chance to play something new, because we’re learning by feeling it for the first time,” he said. “We can still be kind of creative. We don’t have to be too set in our ways.”
Olivia Rodrigo comments on fans wearing diapers at concerts
The defecation incident comes weeks after Olivia Rodrigo made comments about fans wearing diapers at concerts and festival appearances.
“I’ve been to certain concerts and certain festivals where people wear diapers to be in the front row of the show, and that was an experience as a performer that I sniffed at,” the pop star told Britain’s Kiss FM, surprising the host. “They’re all in diapers and they sit there all day. I think about that a lot.”
The practice appears to have spread during Elas’ tour, after fans proudly announced that they would wear adult diapers to concerts, although at least some fans joked about their participation.
