Astrid Sonne Cancels SummerStage Show In Solidarity With Kehlani
Friday, 30 May 2025 () Earlier this month, the New York City Parks Department canceled Kehlani’s planned June performance at Central Park SummerStage, a show that was billed as Pride With Kehlani. The cancelation came after Cornell University canceled a Kehlani show over the R&B star’s vocal support of Gaza amidst Israel’s campaign of genocide. Mayor Eric Adams’ administration wrote a letter to the Parks Department citing “concerns for security and safety issues” after the Cornell cancellation. A planned Juneteenth show from Ravyn Lenae and Noname was also canceled. Now, the Denmark-born, London-based musician Astrid Sonne has canceled her own planned SummerStage performance in solidarity with Kehlani.
