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.

Repercussion returns to The Warehouse Project for 2025 and its first-ever winter edition
Danny Jones
Fan favourite club event Repercussion is back for 2025, and this year’s Warehouse Project season is seriously starting to ramp up.
The annual Warehouse Project programme is now well underway and hasn’t disappointed us one bit so far upon its return to Depot Mayfield.
With the likes of Annie Mac, Fisher and Worried About Henry having already ticked off the opening events on the WHP25 calendar, there are so many other big nights now coming up – and there are very few that are quite as big and/or popular as Repercussion.
Judging by the calibre of acts they’ve got for what will be their first-ever winter edition at WHP, that reputation is only going to get bigger…
The Repercussion 2025 lineup is now yours. Underworld – true pioneers of electronic music – perform live, joined by Caribou (live), Floating Points, Joy Orbison, Job Jobse, Daphni, Chloé Caillet and many, many more.
As you can see, the Repercussion lineup for 2025 is absolutely stacked, with names such as Caribou (live), Floating Points, Joy Orbison and others already confirmed.
You’ve even got the likes of legends of London’s late-night scene like Shy FX and SHERELLE closing out the party as Greater Manchester’s most iconic clubbing institution goes full steam ahead into the early hours of the morning.
God, we’re a lucky bunch to have something as world-famous as WHP on our doorstep, aren’t we?
There’s plenty of the Manc music scene on show too, with local station CROP Radio taking over the nearby Star & Garter, as the pub and live music venue continues to champion top grassroots talent.
Furthermore, there’ll be plenty more spotlighting next door at Freight Island’s Plant Room, too, which boasts some of 0161’s finest selectors, including Metrodome, Joey T, Jim Bane, Camilla Reghenzi and Joe Motion.
There’s plenty more to be enjoyed beyond just the music itself, as well.
For 2025, Repercussion is also hosting a new record and retail market, featuring curated vinyl from Northern Quarter tastemakers and former record shop pioneers, Eastern Bloc, as well as lifestyle items from concept store, Suzy Loves Milo.
These collaborations are a celebration of Manchester’s independent spirit, and it goes without saying that Repercussion, Barry Can’t Swim, Homobloc, and so many other huge electronic nights wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the grassroots tradition running throughout our city’s culture.
Pre-sale will be available from 9am this Friday, 9 October, and general admission goes live from 12 noon; get ready to grab your tickets HERE. In the meantime, you can study the rest of the WHP 25 dates in full down below.

Daisy Jackson
The Cure have just been announced as a headliner for next summer’s Live From Wythenshawe Park.
The legendary band will be performing at the outdoor venue with support from Slowdive and The Slow Readers Club.
Formed in the late 1970s, The Cure – fronted by Robert Smith – are considered one of the most influential bands of all time.
Their big hits span generations and include Friday I’m In Love, Boys Don’t Cry, Lullaby, The Lovecats, and The End of the World.
Taking place on Friday 21 August 2026, The Cure will be performing hits from across the five-decade-long career.
The Sussex-formed band have performed nearly 1,800 concerts worldwide, released 14 studio albums, more than 40 singles, as well as live albums, books, soundtracks, concert films and loads more.
The Cure were also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
Joining The Cure in Manchester next summer will be shoegaze pioneers Slowdive, who’ve gone from strength to strength since reuniting more than a decade ago.
Also taking to the stage at Wythenshawe Park will be The Slow Readers Club, one of Manchester’s proudest exports known for their blend of electro-driven rock.
Live from Wythenshawe Park has become the hottest ticket in Manchester in recent summers, with previous headliners including Sam Fender, Fontaines D.C. and New Order.
Next year’s line-up already includes a show from Lewis Capaldi, and now The Cure too.
Tickets to The Cure at Live From Wythenshawe Park in Manchester will go on general sale on Friday 10 October at 9am.
Pre-sale tickets will go on sale on Wednesday 1st October at 9am (you can sign up for pre-sale HERE)
