Noah Kahan Makes Toronto Crowd Recite Anti-Pooping Pledge After 45,000-Fan Philadelphia Incident

Summary

  • Toronto concertgoers were asked to repeat, “I solemnly swear I will not s--- my pants,” as Noah Kahan turned a viral concert hygiene incident into an onstage pledge.
  • The appeal followed video from his Philadelphia stop at Citizens Bank Park that appeared to show fecal matter near floor seats; a TikTok user said security yelled at a woman to use the bathroom.
  • Kahan, 29, had already urged fans on X to use restrooms, saying venue workers were left dealing with the mess and joking that he once soiled himself onstage in Charlottesville.
  • The episode has widened into a broader live-music etiquette story, with Olivia Rodrigo recently saying some fans wear diapers to hold front-row spots at concerts and festivals.
