Rezz has pulled out of Coachella’s second weekend, saying she needs to “put my health first” after playing the Sahara Tent on April 11. (billboard.com) She announced the cancellation on Tuesday, April 14, in a social media post cited by Billboard, Variety and EDM.com. Rezz said she had been “pushing” through health issues and that “things going on need to be addressed.” (billboard.com) (variety.com) The change removes a scheduled electronic act from Weekend 2, which runs April 17 to April 19 in Indio, California. Coachella’s official site lists the 2026 festival on those dates, and trade coverage said no replacement had been announced as of April 15. (coachella.com) (edm.com) Rezz had been slated for a prime Sahara slot. Billboard reported that her Weekend 1 set began at 9:10 p.m. and ran for nearly an hour, a sign that she held a prominent position on one of Coachella’s main dance stages. (billboard.com) Coachella repeats most of its lineup across two weekends, so late cancellations force last-minute schedule changes for fans, livestream plans and stage programming. The festival’s official website says both weekends share the same 2026 event structure, with dates split across April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19. (coachella.com 1) (coachella.com 2) Her exit also lands during a year when other Coachella sets have shifted. Variety reported that Lambrini Girls dropped out before the festival because of a medical issue, and Anyma called off a planned main-stage show during Weekend 1 because of extreme weather. (variety.com) Rezz told fans she plans to upload her Weekend 1 performance to YouTube instead. In the same message, she said she was “super proud” of the set and thanked Coachella before turning her attention to recovery. (variety.com) (edm.com) For Weekend 2 ticket holders, the immediate result is simpler: Rezz played the desert once on April 11, but she will not be back in the Sahara Tent on April 17 to 19.
