Recording artist Noah Kahan is weighing in on the viral video of a concertgoer seemingly skipping the bathroom in favor of letting it all go right there.
The singer was reacting to an incident at the Philadelphia stop of his “Great Divide World Tour” over the weekend. After the show, Kahan shared a now-expired backstage selfie that blurred out his pants, saying, “Holy sh*t, Philly.”
“If that’s what tour is going to be like, I’m going to need to buy significantly more boxers,” the singer joked.
He also posted a plea for fans to head to the facilities if nature calls.
“If you have to poop at a show please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao,” Kahan wrote in an X post. “I’ve pooped my pants as much as the next 29 year old but you guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000 yard stare after dealing with that.”
“I sh*t myself onstage in Charlottesville but that’s because I am dedicated to my craft,” he added in a follow up.
This all came after a video started circulating of a person appearing to defecate on the floor during the show.

The witness wrote of the experience, “Ok so the person who did this was one row in front of me in section AA. I guess they didn’t want to miss a couple songs to use the bathroom so they just straight up sh*t themselves.”
The post went on, “[They] started picking actual pieces of poop out of their butt and put it on the floor. She started trying to waffle stomp the turds and acted like nothing happened but we flagged down security. One of the most unreal concert experiences I’ve ever witnessed.”
Some commenters who claimed they were there said the individual was escorted out by security.
Bathroom incidents at concerts have been in the headlines lately. Singer Olivia Rodrigo said some of her fans allegedly wear diapers to avoid missing anything or losing their spots in the front row. “I have been to certain concerts and certain festivals where people wear diapers so that they can be front row of the show, and that’s been an experience as a performer that I have … smelled,” the artist said, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
