Rezz pulls Weekend 2 slot
Electronic artist Rezz (Isabelle Rezazadeh) canceled her Coachella Weekend 2 performance, saying in an apology she has to put her health first after signs she needed a break (aol.com).
Rezz has canceled her Coachella Weekend 2 set after saying she needs to “put my health first.” (yahoo.com) The electronic artist, born Isabelle Rezazadeh, posted the announcement on Tuesday, April 14, three days after playing the Sahara Tent on Saturday, April 11, during the festival’s first weekend in Indio, California. (yahoo.com) In her statement, Rezz said, “My body has been whispering for a while that I need a real break,” and said unspecified health issues “need to be addressed.” She had been scheduled to return for Weekend 2 on Saturday, April 18. (billboard.com) Coachella’s 2026 festival runs across two weekends, April 10-12 and April 17-19, with most artists booked to repeat their sets. Rezz remained listed on the festival lineup as of the official 2026 lineup page, even after her cancellation announcement. (coachella.com) That format makes late withdrawals especially visible: fans who saw Weekend 1 expect the same act on Weekend 2, and fans attending only the second weekend lose one of the billed performances. Coachella’s official site is also promoting a seven-stage YouTube livestream for April 17-19. (coachella.com) Rezz said she plans to upload her Weekend 1 Coachella set to YouTube soon for fans who will miss the second-weekend performance. She called the set “something I’m super proud of” and said healing “is gonna be a process.” (variety.com) The cancellation came days after Rezz released her latest EP, *A Shift in Perspective*, earlier in April 2026. Variety described her as one of several artists who had to pull out of Coachella this year after schedule disruptions and other health-related setbacks. (variety.com) Rezz is still listed by other outlets as having festival dates later this year, including Breakaway Music Festival in Columbus, Ohio, on May 30 and Tomorrowland in Belgium in July, though she had not publicly updated those appearances in the statements cited here. (billboard.com) Her message ended with an apology to disappointed fans and a thank-you to Coachella for the first-weekend slot. “Now it’s time to focus on my health,” she said. (yahoo.com)
