Rezz pulls out for health

Electronic artist Rezz canceled her Coachella Weekend 2 performance because of health issues, a confirmed lineup change ahead of the festival's second run. (variety.com)

Rezz has pulled out of Coachella’s second weekend after saying health issues “need to be addressed” before she performs again. (variety.com) The Canadian DJ and producer said on April 14 that she had been “shrugging off” warning signs from her body and decided she could not play Weekend 2 at the Sahara tent. She performed during Weekend 1 on Saturday, April 11, in Indio, California. (billboard.com) Coachella’s second weekend runs April 17 to April 19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. The festival says both weekends feature the same lineup, art, food and activities, while also noting that lineup and set times can change without notice. (coachella.com) That caveat has mattered this year. Weekend 2 set times released on April 14 included a new Saturday appearance by Kacey Musgraves, while local coverage said no replacement had been named for Rezz. (dailybreeze.com) For fans, the change lands in one of the festival’s biggest electronic showcases. Coachella’s official lineup lists Rezz among the 2026 acts, and Sahara is one of the event’s main dance-focused tents. (coachella.com) Rezz, born Isabelle Rezazadeh, built her audience with a dark, bass-heavy sound and large-scale festival sets. She has been a regular name on major electronic lineups in North America and Europe, including announced 2026 bookings at Breakaway Music Festival in Columbus in May and Tomorrowland in Belgium in July. (yahoo.com) She did not announce any broader tour pause in her statement. As of April 15, reports on the cancellation said she had not made changes to the rest of her 2026 festival schedule. (yahoo.com) The immediate result is simpler: one of Weekend 1’s Sahara performers will not return for the festival’s second run, and Coachella goes into April 17 with another late lineup change.
