Rezz cancels Coachella slot
Electronic artist Rezz pulled out of Coachella Weekend Two due to health issues, leading to a last‑minute lineup change for the festival’s electronic bill (variety.com).
Rezz canceled her second-weekend Coachella set on April 14, saying health issues forced her to pull out days before the festival returns to Indio. (variety.com) In her statement, the Canadian DJ and producer said she had been “shrugging off” problems and needed “a real break.” Variety reported she had been scheduled to play the Sahara tent during Weekend Two. (variety.com) Coachella’s 2026 festival runs April 10-12 and April 17-19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Organizers list Rezz on the 2026 lineup, and the festival is again streaming both weekends on YouTube. (coachella.com, coachella.com) The cancellation hits one of the festival’s biggest electronic stages in the gap between Weekend One and Weekend Two, when fans usually expect near-identical lineups across both three-day runs. Coachella sells separate wristbands for each weekend, but the event markets the same artist roster across both dates. (coachella.com, coachella.com) Rezz had already played Weekend One on April 11 in the Sahara tent, and she told fans she plans to upload that set to YouTube. Fan-run set databases and tracklists logged the April 11 performance in Indio over the weekend. (variety.com, setlist.fm, 1001tracklists.com) Her withdrawal adds to a festival week that has already seen other schedule disruptions. Variety reported that Anyma’s April 11 headlining set was canceled because of strong wind conditions, and Lambrini Girls dropped out before the festival after the band’s lead singer suffered a fractured neck and acute brain injury. (variety.com, variety.com) Rezz arrived at Coachella just after releasing her new extended play, “A Shift in Perspective,” which Variety said came out days before her April 11 set. That timing had put her festival appearance at the center of a new release cycle before the second-weekend cancellation cut it short. (variety.com) For Weekend Two ticket holders, the practical question is the replacement: Coachella had not posted a public explanation of a revised Sahara bill in the festival pages surfaced by Wednesday afternoon. Rezz’s own message pointed fans back to her Weekend One performance instead, with her health now taking priority over a return set in the desert. (coachella.com, variety.com)
