Katseye have called off two upcoming arena dates as one of their members deals with a head injury. The group Katseye postpone shows in Chicago and Minneapolis while Megan Skiendiel recovers from a concussion, according to statements from the venues and the act.

The Chicago concert was scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 5, at the United Center. The Minneapolis performance was set for Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Target Center. Both dates are now on hold.

The postponements first surfaced through the social media channels of the two venues. Katseye then confirmed the situation directly to fans with a message posted to their Instagram Story on Thursday.

In that post, the group explained that the decision to delay the Chicago and Minneapolis concerts came from their label, with Skiendiel’s recovery from a concussion cited as the reason. The members expressed regret at disappointing their audience and acknowledged that some ticket holders had made long journeys to attend the shows. They also asked fans to keep their tickets, saying rescheduled dates would be announced as soon as possible.

The group closed the message by thanking supporters for their patience and understanding, and said they looked forward to returning to both cities.

Detroit Show Was Called Off Earlier in the Week

The Chicago and Minneapolis postponements follow another last-minute scheduling change. Earlier in the week, Katseye delayed a Detroit concert just hours before they were due at Little Caesars Arena. At that point, the group attributed the change to Skiendiel being unwell, without specifying the nature of the illness.

The concussion diagnosis adds a clearer explanation for the current round of cancellations. The Detroit date was announced as a postponement, not a permanent cancellation, though no new date has been provided for that show either.

Representatives for Hybe, the group’s label, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the postponements.

What Fans Should Know

  • Chicago’s United Center show was set for Nov. 5; Minneapolis’ Target Center date was set for Nov. 7.
  • Both concerts are postponed, not canceled, according to the group’s message.
  • Ticket holders are advised to hold on to their tickets until new dates are announced.
  • The Detroit show at Little Caesars Arena was also postponed earlier in the week.

Katseye did not provide a timeline for when Skiendiel is expected to return to the stage, and no replacement dates for Chicago, Minneapolis, or Detroit have been released. The group’s statement did not include further details about the concussion or the circumstances in which it occurred.
