She added, “That means freedom in trans rights, that means freedom in women’s rights…and it especially means freedom for all oppressed people in occupied territories.”

The interview — her first on late-night TV — was lively from the start.

If you missed Chappell Roan’s headline-making performance at Gov Ball this past weekend, there’s still time to catch the electric performer later this summer at New York’s All Things Go Festival, which will take place at the city’s iconic Forest Hills Stadium in September.
Chappell Roan is doubling down on the comments she made about “freedom for all” while performing at Governor’s Ball.
All Things Go Festival is coming to Forest Hills Stadium for two days of pop, rock and R&B.Top of the line headliners on this year’s bill include Reneé Rapp, Chappell Roan, MUNA, Janelle Monáe and Julien Baker.They’ll be joined by big names like Ethel Cain, Holly Humberstone, Maisie Peters, Soccer Mommy and Del Water Gap.In total, 16 huge acts will perform at the two-day festival and if it’s half as fun as Chappell Roan’s set at Gov Ball, fans are in for a treat.If you want to be there, two-day general admission passes are available as of today.Fans can purchase All Things Go passes on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, June 14.Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.At the time of publication, only two-day All Things Go passes are available.Keep an eye on this link to see if single-day passes sprout up.For those closer to Columbia, MD, All Things Go is going down at the Merriweather Post Pavilion over the same weekend.Single and multi-day passes for the extravaganza — which has quite a bit of overlap as well as stars like Conan Gray and Hozier on the bill among others — can be found here.As noted above, 16 huge acts are headed to Queens in late September.For a closer look, here are all the artists set to perform at the NY edition of All Things Go:A post shared by All Things Go (@allthingsgo)Need more music in your life?Here are just five of the biggest artists we can’t wait to see live in the Big Apple these next few months.• Tate McRae• Charli XCX with Troye Sivan• Gracie Abrams• Kacey
Chappell Roan tickets, that makes two of us.The eccentric, red-haired singer-songwriter is blowing up and for good reason, as her festival appearances are more like full-fledged concert experiences, combining amazing vocals, costume changes, danceable choreography and even a few heartfelt messages over the course of her short set time.As a result, the way Roan drives crowds to music festivals around the country has become a phenomenon — or “Femininomenon.” Thankfully, I was fortunate enough to score tickets to Gov Ball which had an all-star line-up of today’s heaviest hitters joining Roan like SZA, The Killers and Carly Rae Jepsen.Roan, 26, having just come from the sold-out Boston Calling Festival, was actually moved up in the Sunday lineup, kicking off a girl-powered celebration on the main stage along with Reneé Rapp and SZA to close out the final day of the fest. As the drone footage shows, it was a fully packed venue, and if you squint you’ll see a very excited Post staffer screaming with delight at the very front barricade.Once her set began, the Chappell experience was almost as religious as her name suggests.
Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Any New Yorkers who missed Chappell Roan’s iconic performance at Governors Ball last weekend will get another chance in September, when the inaugural New York edition of the All Things Go festival takes place at Forest Hills Stadium. Headliners are Roan, Reneé Rapp, Janelle Monáe, Muna, Ethel Cain, and Julien Baker.
