Noah Kahan’s Citi Field Concerts Plagued by Reports of Attendees Urinating in Seats

Noah Kahan’s “The Great Divide Tour” launched last month amid a wave of controversy. The June 26 show in Philadelphia made headlines after an attendee defecated in their seat, prompting the folk-pop star to ask fans at subsequent performances to pledge not to soil the venue. Now, fresh accounts indicate the problem may be more widespread than initially thought.

On Sunday, July 19, Kahan took the stage at New York’s Citi Field and apologized for the previous night’s cancellation, which was supposed to be the first of his two nights at the stadium. Severe thunderstorms had forced the venue to call off the show. “I just want to apologize for the cancellation of our show last night,” he told the crowd. “I know you guys were all here. I don’t expect any sympathy at all. I am so fucking sorry for the folks that stood all day in the rain and traveled. I’ve been thinking about you guys.”

Yet his heartfelt apology was met with disturbing allegations that some concertgoers were urinating in their seats. A Threads post read: “Noah Kahan: 10/10. The woman who turned Section 125 into a restroom: 0/10. My biohazard urine soaked purse and everything inside it skipped the ride home and went straight into a Citi Field trash can. Spending $1,000 on tickets wasn’t supposed to end with replacing my belongings due a feral creature turning a section into her personal toilet.”

The post included a screenshot of a Reddit thread echoing the claims. One user wrote, “I was so impressed by the show overall, but I was so angry at a group of seat jumpers who took the spots two rows in front of us. Everyone in our section (125) was pretty patient with their rude/obnoxious shenanigans until one girl literally pulled down her shorts and just peed! The poor people in front of them got their stuff ruined. When she was called out by the crowd, they high-tailed it out of our section, but we could all smell it the rest of the night.” Another replied, “Can confirm. I was sitting in front of them. My purse didn’t survive the encounter; it went straight into the trash because some feral asshole decided Section 125 was a bathroom.”

The reason behind this behavior remains unclear. Authorities are also investigating a separate incident involving a man accused of urinating on a family at a Morgan Wallen concert in Baltimore on Saturday, July 18.
