Earlier this week, it was announced that Kanye West had dropped out of his headlining slot at Coachella. The rapper, who was announced as a headliner in January, was supposed to perform on the closing nights of the festival, which is taking place across the weekends of April 15 to 17 and April 22 to 24.
While fans of Ye may be disappointed to miss him, the festival has subbed in The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia in the rapper’s place.
The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia broke the news of their collaborative set by posting an updated Coachella poster to social media that names them in the headlining spot for April 17 and 24.
The Weeknd first performed at Coachella in 2012 and headlined the festival in 2018. Swedish House Mafia was already scheduled to perform at this year’s event, though not as a headlining act. The group’s name was previously listed in a smaller font towards the bottom of the poster.
The two acts have a single together entitled “Moth To A Flame.” Swedish House Mafia also produced a few tracks on The Weeknd’s latest album, Dawn FM.
