The Coachella Music and Arts Festival announced today that Kanye West would be replaced as a headliner at next week’s event by The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia.
This year’s Coachella runs April 15th-17th & 22nd-24th.The Weeknd is a known quantity for festival organizers. He topped the bill in 2018.
Swedish House Mafia was already included in the 2022 lineup in an unusual position on its iconic handbill.
