Noah Kahan has publicly addressed a concerning incident that occurred during his recent concert stop in Philadelphia. A viral video circulating online appeared to show fecal matter on the floor at Citizens Bank Park, prompting the musician to issue a plea to his fans.
In a statement shared on X, Kahan implored attendees to prioritize using restroom facilities during his shows. "If you have to poop at a show please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao," he wrote. "I’ve pooped my pants as much as the next 29 year old but you guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000 yard stare after dealing with that."
The singer, 29, also shared a personal anecdote, stating, "I s-— myself onstage in Charlottesville but that's because I am dedicated to my craft." The video in question, shared on TikTok, showed concertgoers in floor seats near what appeared to be the substance.
One user commented on the video, suggesting the substance might have been dirt tracked in on shoes, but the original poster responded that security had intervened after witnessing the attendee "squatted and took a s---."
Kahan's "The Great Divide" tour, supporting his fourth studio album released in April, began earlier this month and is scheduled to conclude later this year in Paris. This incident follows other notable behaviors observed at live music events, including singer Olivia Rodrigo mentioning concertgoers wearing diapers to secure front-row spots.
