Noah Kahan jokes Congress should mandate diapers for fans

During a concert in Washington, D.C., on July 22, singer-songwriter Noah Kahan jokingly called for a congressional mandate requiring fans to wear diapers, addressing a bizarre and recurring issue of concertgoers soiling themselves at his shows. The 29-year-old musician used his "Dial Drunk" performance segment to stage a phone call, telling the audience that "Congress" had ordered everyone to "fucking put some diapers on next time, y'all" after reports of people "pissing all over the floor."

This theatrical plea is the latest in a series of public appeals from Kahan, who is currently on a sold-out stadium tour for his album "The Great Divide," urging fans to use venue restrooms. The problem gained significant attention in late June following an incident at his show at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, where a fan allegedly defecated near the stage. In response, Kahan posted on social media platform X on June 27, writing, "If you have to poop at a show please dear god just go to the bathroom... 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."
