Poppy’s band took the stage at Upheaval Festival in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but the singer was notably absent due to hazardous air quality conditions. The festival, which features headliners like Gojira and Papa Roach, saw Poppy’s band perform a nearly hour-long instrumental set without her.
In an Instagram Story, Poppy explained her absence, stating, “Due to ‘hazardous’ AQI reaching 350+ around our set time, I was unable to join my band on stage. I was unable to breathe in those conditions.” She expressed her appreciation for the fans who attended despite the challenging environment.
The air quality issues were attributed to wildfires in Canada, prompting the festival organizers to monitor the situation closely. They reassured attendees that they were prioritizing safety and expected conditions to improve throughout the day.
