Rezz cancels Weekend 2

Rezz said on April 14 that she will not play Coachella’s second weekend because of health issues that “need to be addressed.” (variety.com) The Canadian producer had played the Sahara tent on Saturday, April 11, during Weekend 1, and Coachella’s second weekend runs April 17 through April 19 in Indio, California. (billboard.com) (coachella.com) In her statement, Rezz said she had been pushing through the problem, would put her health first, and plans to upload her Weekend 1 set to YouTube. (variety.com) The cancellation lands two days before Weekend 2, when fans usually expect the two Coachella weekends to mirror each other closely, with the same artist roster repeated across both three-day bills. (coachella.com 1) (coachella.com 2) That makes late lineup changes more disruptive than a normal tour cancellation, because festivalgoers often build travel plans and daily schedules around one specific set time or stage. Coachella sells passes by full weekend, not by single day. (coachella.com) Rezz has been a notable name in Coachella’s electronic lane for years. Billboard said her April 11 Sahara performance marked her second Coachella appearance, after she became the first woman to headline the Sahara stage in 2018. (billboard.com) Her withdrawal also adds to a year of artist disruptions at the festival. Variety reported that Lambrini Girls dropped out before the event because of the lead singer’s injuries, and Anyma called off his Friday midnight set during Weekend 1 because of extreme weather. (variety.com) Rezz released her “A Shift in Perspective” extended play just days before Coachella, and Billboard reported she still has other 2026 festival dates on her calendar, including Breakaway Music Festival in Columbus in May and Tomorrowland in Belgium in July. (variety.com) (billboard.com) For now, the immediate change is simple: one of Weekend 2’s electronic sets is gone, and Rezz said her focus is now on recovery rather than returning to the desert this weekend.
