Artists will close both Sundays

Goldenvoice has confirmed that Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd will replace Kanye West for the Sunday headlining position at this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. West pulled out of the event on Monday, leaving organizers scrambling to find a replacement less than two weeks before the two-weekend festival returns since the pandemic began. Swedish House Mafia was already set to appear both Fridays.

“I’m so looking forward to this moment with Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd finishing out the Sunday night slot this year,” Goldenvoice president/CEO says. “Coachella has a special relationship with Abel and I’m so thankful to have this upcoming performance with these iconic artists all on the same stage.”

Coachella takes place April 15-17 and April 22-24 in Indio, CA. Harry Styles will headline both Fridays while Billie Eilish returns for both Saturdays.

Swedish House Mafia, The Weeknd and Sunday’s third headliner, Doja Cat, are all managed by SalXCo.

The Weeknd has been immersed in starring, co-writing and co-producing the HBO series, The Idol, so it’s likely his portion of the set will be shorted, although no details have been unveiled on how the double co-headlining set will work.

Lil Baby, Daniel Caesar, Phoebe Bridgers, Big Sean, Flume, Megan Thee Stallion, Run the Jewels, and others are set to perform over both weekends.
