Swedish House Mafia, The Weeknd replace Ye as Coachella headliners

Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd will officially replace Kanye West as headliners at the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Major outlets, including Entertainment Tonight, reported last week that West would no longer be performing. 

When the Coachella lineup was announced, West, who legally changed his name to Ye last year, said in a now-deleted statement that he would invite rapper Travis Scott to perform during his set. The Coachella appearance would have been Scott's first major public performance since the November tragedy at Scott's music festival Astroworld, while left nine dead after a massive crowd surge. 

Now, Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd will take over, playing both April 17 and April 24. Artists Harry Styles and Billie Eilish will headline the other two festival weekends, with performances throughout from Lil Baby, Megan Thee Stallion, Stromae, Doja Cat, Maggie Rogers and more.
