Why Isn't Manon Performing with KATSEYE at Coachella? What to Know About the Girl Group Member's Hiatus

Yoonchae, Megan Skiendiel, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza attend the W Magazine, Charli XCX, and Saint Laurent Grammy after party at Bar Marmont on February 01, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. .

Just a few months after gracing the Grammys stage, KATSEYE's future is unclear. The girl group, whose formation was documented in the Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE, shot to global fame last year, with the release of their hit tracks "Gnarly" and "Gabriela." On April 10 and April 17, the group will make their Coachella debut with a primetime slot on the main stage, right before headliner Sabrina Carpenter. However, not all of the members will take part in this monumental achievement.

The day before their set, KATSEYE's label HYBE x Geffen confirmed that Manon Bannerman, the Swiss-Ghanaian eldest member of the group, will not be joining Sophia Laforteza, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, and Yoonchae Jeung at the festival. In fact, Manon is currently on hiatus from the group—and many fans are wondering when, and if, the singer will return. Read on for everything to know about Manon's uncertain future with KATSEYE below.
