Chappell Roan BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Chappell Roan’s whirlwind rise shows no sign of slowing as the pop world watches her set the tempo for 2025. Just this week, she headlined the opening night of Rock en Seine outside Paris, where her only French concert of the year drew massive crowds and international media attention. France 24’s arts segment called her set a highlight of the festival’s 21st edition, which also featured Suki Waterhouse and Queens of the Stone Age. Sortir a Paris underscored Roan’s rapid transformation from a cult singer in small Paris venues to a phenomenon with her own headlining slot, citing her “acid pop universe” and flair for extravagant style. Notably, her explosive performance at Coachella earlier this year and her show-stopping set to a record crowd at Lollapalooza were referenced as pivotal in cementing her reputation as pop’s “new queer icon.”

Days before Paris, Chappell Roan lit up social media with her show at Reading Festival in the UK. Harper’s Bazaar ran a photo-rich story on her gothic fairytale wardrobe, crafted with frequent collaborators Alexander Cole and James Nguyen. The ensemble—a black veil and bat fascinator—earned her the unofficial title of pop’s “midwestern queen of spectacle.” Her Reading performance also went viral for another reason: a joyful and moving backstage meet-and-greet with drag performers from Drag Syndrome, who posted the moment to Instagram and X, quickly crossing 700,000 views. Pink News called her interaction generous and embracing, and social media praised Roan’s inclusivity and exuberance.

Meanwhile, Roan’s business calendar is filling up. According to an August 25 Instagram post from a major event promoter, two significant Chappell Roan events are slated for October, fueling speculation about new material or perhaps a deluxe album drop, though details remain unconfirmed.

In terms of long-term biography, her mainstream breakthroughs are unfolding with notable award recognition. Having snagged MTV’s 2024 Best New Artist and holding six nominations—including Album of the Year—at the upcoming 2025 Grammy Awards, she’s poised to become one of the year’s definitive stars. Numéro highlighted her influential fashion statements at both Paris Fashion Week and the Los Angeles Fashion Awards, adding gravitas to her celebrity.

On the live circuit, she’s confirmed for both Leeds and Reading again, as well as headlining Sweden’s Way Out West Festival, which organizers called “iconic” in a widely reshared post. And in Australia, event listings for a Chappell Roan Night at Connections Night Club drew huge buzz, showing her reach from Europe to the Pacific.

Rounding out headlines, The Irish Times spotlighted her as the must-see act at Ireland’s upcoming Electric Picnic, noting billions of streams, and teasing premieres of her new tracks The Giver and Subway from a highly anticipated second album, rumored to be called Visions of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things. As her song Good Luck Babe holds the top spot on Irish charts and TikTok clips of her Reading set rack up views, it’s clear: Chappell Roan’s moment is turning into her era.
