Lola Young Collapse: A worrying moment unfolded at the All Things Go Music Festival in New York City on September 27, 2025, when British singer-songwriter Lola Young collapsed onstage during her performance and was carried off by medical personnel. The pop artist — who released her third album I’m Only F**king Myself earlier that month — has since reassured fans that she is “doing OK,” but the incident sparked intense online conversation and concern about artist health at large festivals. Below is a careful, step-by-step guide to what happened, what we know (and what we don’t), background on Lola Young, practical context about performer health, and how fans should respond.
1) Quick summary — the core facts (short version)
- What: Lola Young collapsed mid-set during her All Things Go Festival performance at Forest Hills Stadium while singing the song “Conceited.” She was assisted and carried offstage by medical staff.
- When: The incident occurred on the night of September 27, 2025.
- Status: Young later posted a public update saying she is “doing OK now.” Her representatives and festival organizers provided limited details and asked for privacy while the artist recovers. No official medical diagnosis or cause of collapse has been released.
Those are the load-bearing facts verified by multiple outlets and Young’s own social posts; everything below builds from that core verified information.
2) How the moment unfolded — timeline of the onstage collapse
Eyewitness clips and press accounts show Young several songs into her set when she suddenly stepped off the stage, fell or fainted (video clips vary in angle), and was quickly attended by band members, security and medical staff. She was escorted or carried offstage; organizers canceled the remainder of her set while emergency teams evaluated her. The set interruption followed a canceled appearance at Audacy’s “We Can Survive” concert the previous day that her team had attributed to a “sensitive matter.”
Festival organizers and Young’s manager later confirmed that medical personnel treated her at the scene and that she was in contact with her team afterward. The artist issued a short update via social media assuring fans that she was “okay” and thanked everyone for their concern. No further medical details were released publicly.
3) What Lola Young said (and where she said it)
Lola Young posted an update to her social channels after the incident, telling fans “for anyone who saw my set at All Things Go today, I am doing OK now.” She thanked fans for their concern — a brief, direct note that most outlets quoted when reporting her status. Her manager also referenced recent cancellations tied to a “sensitive matter,” indicating the team was handling the situation privately. Again: no specific medical cause has been shared by Young or her team.
4) Why we must avoid speculation about causes
When a performer collapses, a long list of potential causes exists — dehydration, exhaustion, vocal issues, medication interactions, low blood sugar, heat, viral illness, or a pre-existing condition. Some artists are public about mental-health or medical histories (Young has previously discussed a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder and past substance-use struggles), but that does not mean the collapse at All Things Go is directly related to any single prior condition unless an official medical source confirms it. Responsible reporting and responsible fandom both require waiting for confirmed details from the artist’s team, medical professionals, or official statements before assuming a cause.
5) Who is Lola Young? Short biography and recent context
Lola Young (born 2001) is a British singer-songwriter who rose to prominence with her viral 2024 single “Messy” and the album This Wasn’t Meant for You Anyway. She’s known for candid songwriting and for speaking openly about mental-health struggles, including a schizoaffective disorder diagnosis she has discussed publicly. In 2025 she released her third studio album, I’m Only F**king Myself, and played high-profile stages including Coachella and late-night TV appearances earlier this year — a fast trajectory that has increased both her visibility and touring demands.
Because she’s been candid about past vocal-cord issues (singers sometimes face vocal cysts or strain), fans and music journalists watch health updates closely; however, those historical details should not be used as causation in the absence of confirmation.
6) Festival response & safety procedures — what organizers did
All Things Go organizers and venue medical teams acted quickly: security and medical personnel attended to Young on the stage area and removed her for further evaluation, then canceled the remainder of her scheduled appearance. Festivals typically maintain on-site emergency medical teams and protocols for artist and audience safety; the speed of the response and the presence of trained medical staff likely reduced risks of secondary injury. Festival statements encouraged fans to respect the artist’s privacy and to avoid amplifying unverified footage beyond eyewitness reporting.
7) How tour life stresses artists — context (not speculation)
Touring is physically and mentally demanding: late nights, travel across time zones, irregular sleep, repeated high-energy performances, vocal strain, and exposure to seasonal illnesses. Artists balancing mental-health struggles or managing medication schedules face extra complexity. That’s why many modern touring teams include not only medical staff but also vocal coaches, mental-health professionals and mandated rest days — though resource availability varies by artist and festival. This background explains why even healthy-appearing artists can unexpectedly need emergency assistance on stage. But again: contextual education is not the same as assigning cause for Lola Young’s collapse.
8) What fans should do right now (practical, respectful steps)
- Respect privacy. Avoid sharing unverified, graphic videos or private information. The artist and family deserve space to manage the situation.
- Follow official channels. Rely on Lola Young’s verified social accounts, her management statements and festival updates for accurate information.
- Offer supportive messages — but privately when possible. If you want to express concern, send kind messages rather than speculating publicly about causes. Public campaigns around medical details can be intrusive.
- Be patient and kind to media outlets. Quality reports often take hours to verify — trust reputable outlets (People, Deadline, Variety, Hollywood Reporter) to update responsibly.
9) Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Q: Is Lola Young OK now?

10) Media literacy — how this played online and how to avoid amplification of harm
- Video virality: Clips from the moment circulated quickly on social platforms; some were grainy, incomplete or taken from awkward angles. Don’t treat short clips as full context.
- Respectful reporting: Outlets such as People, Deadline and Variety prioritized the artist’s confirmed update and avoided sensational medical speculation. Use publications that quote verified posts or official statements.
- Avoid “diagnosis by comment section.” Social speculation about causes is harmful and often incorrect; please wait for official communications.
11) Final thoughts — compassion, context and what to watch next
Lola Young’s collapse at All Things Go is a frightening moment for fans, but it’s also a reminder to balance concern with patience. The verified facts are simple: she collapsed onstage, received immediate medical care, and later posted that she is “doing OK.” The most helpful public response is empathy — send supportive (non-invasive) messages, respect the artists’ privacy, and let reporters verify medical details before repeating them.
