The Weeknd & Swedish House Mafia To Replace Kanye West As Coachella Headliners

Coachella has found its Kanye replacement.

The Weeknd will join Swedish House Mafia and headline Sunday night of the three-day festival, a slot previously occupied by Ye. According to TMZ, The Weeknd agreed to the gig after promoters scrambled to find a replacement at the last minute. Swedish House Mafia, who shares management with The Weeknd, was slated to headline Friday night but will now close out the festival.

It’s unclear exactly how the performance will work, if one will perform before the other, or if they will take turns. Given time contestants, The Weeknd’s set will likely be shorter than usual. Fans can expect them to perform their collaboration “Moth to a Flame,” which appears on the deluxe edition of The Weeknd’s album Dawn FM and SHM’s upcoming album Paradise Again, which drops April 15.

As previously reported, Ye pulled out of the festival with less than two weeks to go. It’s unclear why, but festival producers were reportedly blindsided by the cancelation.
