Rising UK pop star Lola Young has unfortunately cancelled all of her upcoming gigs “for the foreseeable future” after recently collapsing live on stage.
This, of course, includes her two scheduled dates at O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, as well as the rest of the dates on her breakout world tour.
Young, a BRIT School graduate whose career has taken off over the past year or so, took to social media to reluctantly inform fans that all her remaining shows are now cancelled as he prepares to take some time for herself and recover.
Admitting that it “pains her”, it is clearly the right decision for her overall health, and we hope she returns to full strength soon.
In case you missed the headlines or the clip that went viral online, Lola Young passed out mid-performance during the 2025 All Things Go music festival.

Whilst up on stage at the Forest Hills Stadium in New York, the 24-year-old singer could be visibly seen losing her footing and grasp of the microphone, before dropping it entirely and falling backwards as she lost consciousness.
Not only did this include a serious risk of head injury and/or concussion, but it is not the first time alarm bells have been raised surrounding her welfare in the past few months alone.

Shortly after struggling with in-ear monitors during her biggest-ever show at Wembley for Capital FM’s Summertime Ball, Young also threw up on stage during her Coachella debut.
The London-born artist has opened up multiple times in the past about struggling mentally at times, as well as ADHD and, most notably, her schizoaffective disorder diagnosis, which often revolves around symptoms such as depression, mania, mood irregularities and more
She ultimately had to pull out of a set in Washington, DC, as well; in fact, even before the incident this past Saturday (27 September), she told the crowd she had been having a difficult time.

Lola Young opens up about having a “tricky couple of days” at All Things Go NYC after canceling a Friday concert “due to a sensitive matter.”
Posting after the DC cancellation, Young said: “I love this job and never take my commitments and my audience for granted, so I’m sorry to those who will be disappointed by this.”
Echoing the same sentiment she shared above, she went on to add, “I hope you’ll give me another chance in the future. Thank you to all those who listen and care.
“To all those who love to be mean online, please give me a day off.”
It goes without saying that we wish her all the best, and that it’s worth noting that Lola Young isn’t the first artist who has risked putting entertainment before their own health, which raises real questions around what the industry can do to better safeguard individuals and prevent situations like this.

Keo play Projekts: garage and grunge revivalists crush Manchester skatepark for new music video
Danny Jones
This past Thursday evening, fast-rising rock band Keo took over Projekts MCR skatepark for a special pop-up gig and to film a brand-new music video for their latest single, ‘Pistol’, starring some of their biggest fans here in Manchester.
In fact, it didn’t take long for us to suss out that plenty of them had flocked from far and wide to be there, and let’s say we’re sure they’ll say it was worth the journey.
We caught Keo’s well-attended festival set inside the Woodlands at Kendal Calling 2025, not to mention their completely sold-out show at the O2 Ritz back in March – their biggest headline date up to that point – and we’re more certain than ever that they’re going to be absolutely massive.
And if they keep up doing more memorable stuff like this, it’s just a matter of how soon…
Packing out Projekts to the point that people were literally hanging off fences and standing on electrical boxes at the side of the street to try and get a peek at the post-punk, grunge and garage rockers, some of their most enthusiastic young fans had been waiting outside the location as early as noon.
For context, doors opened six hours later, and the boys didn’t come on until 7:30pm.
Those who signed up to Keo‘s mailing list were sent information regarding securing a spot at the one-off performance earlier this month.
While you would have seen the place fill up even if they were just standard concert tickets, the fact that the band were taping the whole thing to use as the visuals for their newest single, as mentioned, meant that Keo’s avid followers were literally clamouring AND clambering to get the best view position possible.
Turning the popular skaters’ hub’s central bowl into a makeshift stage, with lights, camera, booms and various crew surrounding the entire venue, it was a surreal experience to say the least.
And, of course, they were absolutely brilliant – just as they were at the Ritz at the start of the year and Kendal before that, playing a short but sweet set that left everyone wanting more and choruses of punters chanting Keo long after the final song.
We can’t wait to see how the video itself turns out, especially seeing how much the people who wrapped around them and the skatepark were lost in the moment, and we’re also looking forward to them headlining Neighbourhood Fest in Manchester city centre this October.
You can grab a ticket to see them and the rest of the NBHD lineup right HERE, but until then, give the full studio version of ‘Pistol’ a play and get ready for their debut album.
Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? named biggest UK studio album EVER by Official Charts
Danny Jones
You’re damn right: Oasis continue to be MASSIVE as new figures from the Official Charts Company have confirmed that (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? has clocked in as the biggest UK studio album of all time.
The Britpop icons and history go hand in hand.
Yes, according to the latest numbers by our domestic chart-crunchers, only two other albums surpassed Oasis‘ second LP – and they’re both greatest hits collections.
The announcement was made on Wednesday, 22 July, just over a whole year on from those reunion world tour shows at Heaton Park. How fitting.
Starting off by channelling Liam Gallagher energy and quipping that “Oasis vibes are in the area”, they go on to explain the colossal cumulative record.
“Oasis claim one of the biggest honours in British music history, they write, “as (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? is named the UK’s Official biggest studio album of all time, according to new Official Charts Company data.”
Combining UK sales of the record – both physical and digital over the years – along with modern streaming statistics, the sophomore outing from the Britpop giants has amassed approximately 6.2 million UK chart units. Staggering stuff.
Last year’s Live ’25 shows have no doubt helped give an added boost to their metrics, but it’s still gargantuan stuff from the local band.
Yet another incredible stat not just for the Burnage boys but the Manchester music scene as a whole.
2026 looks to be just as big a comeback, by the looks of things.
In case you were wondering who beat them out in the race for the top spot, they were pipped to the post by Queen’s Greatest Hits and the same again from ABBA, two worthy opponents to take third place after.
You can see the rest of the list in full right HERE.
Oh, and Definitely Maybe also made the list, too, coming in at number 39 – making that two in the top 50 even amongst all the compilations.
It feels like last July all over again, doesn’t it? And if now isn’t the perfect time to stick on the title track, we don’t know what is.
Actually, sod it – we’re sticking the full thing on…
