Anyma returned to Coachella on Sunday night with a surprise 10:45 p.m. set at the Do Lab after weather wiped out his Friday performance. (variety.com) Variety reported that the replacement booking paired Anyma with Berlin producer Marlon Hoffstadt for a back-to-back closing set on April 12. The Los Angeles Times included the appearance in its Day 3 live coverage from the festival grounds in Indio. (variety.com) (latimes.com) The original set had been scheduled for just after midnight early Saturday, after Sabrina Carpenter’s headlining performance on Day 1. Festival attendees got a cancellation notice at 12:17 a.m. saying strong wind conditions had affected Anyma’s stage build. (variety.com) (usmagazine.com) Anyma, whose real name is Matteo Milleri, said on April 11 that he was “heartbroken” and that the new ÆDEN show had taken a year of work. He also said there were no open Weekend 1 slots for a full replacement performance and that he was “working on a solution.” (variety.com) (beatportal.com) That solution ended up being smaller and later in the weekend: a Do Lab set instead of the main-stage ÆDEN debut. The Do Lab announced it on Instagram with a post saying, “Anyma b2b Marlon Hoffstadt” would close the stage at 10:45 p.m. (variety.com) (tiktok.com) The weather disruption was not minor. Variety reported wind gusts in Indio reached 35 to 40 miles per hour on Friday, and the cancellation notice said safety concerns made the live setup impossible to operate. (variety.com) (artthreat.net) The Sunday appearance gave Coachella a way to fit one of the weekend’s most anticipated electronic acts back into the schedule without moving other artists’ slots. By late Sunday, regional coverage described it as Anyma closing out Weekend 1 at the Do Lab after the Friday cancellation. (ocregister.com) (dailynews.com) So the set Coachella lost to wind on April 11 did not come back in its original form. It came back one festival day later, on a different stage, with a different partner, and still gave Anyma a closing slot before Weekend 1 ended. (variety.com) (latimes.com)
