Manon Bannerman speaks out after missing the KATSEYE performance at the 2026 Coachella Music Festival.

“6milli of u, sending warm hugs and kisses to all of u. thank you,” she wrote in the sky of her picture, noting her reaching six million followers on Instagram.

While many thought Manon would be performing at Coachella with the rest of KATSEYE, they went on during weekend one as a group of five. Back in February, it was announced that Manon was taking a temporary hiatus from the group to focus on her health and wellbeing.

In addition to missing the Coachella set, Manon is also not included in the group’s new song and music video for their latest single, “Pinky Up,” which they opened their Coachella performance with.

Along with their hits like “Touch,” “Gabriela” and “Gnarly,” KATSEYE also brought out HUNTR/X singers EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami to perform a stripped down version of the Oscar and Grammy-winning song “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters!
