Anyma’s wind cancellation
Producer/DJ Anyma had his Friday Coachella performance canceled because of strong winds and safety concerns, and organizers rescheduled him to close out Weekend 1 with a Sunday‑night Do Lab set. Variety reports the replacement was framed as a surprise performance that included Marlon Hoffstadt after the original Friday slot was scrapped. (pressenterprise.com) (variety.com)
Anyma’s Friday-night Coachella set was canceled after strong winds made his stage build unsafe, and festival organizers moved him to a Sunday-night Do LaB closing slot. (variety.com) (presstelegram.com) The cancellation came just after his scheduled midnight start on April 10, with Coachella sending a 12:17 a.m. app alert saying strong wind conditions were affecting the build for his show. Billboard reported the decision landed about 15 minutes after the set was supposed to begin. (variety.com) (billboard.com) By Sunday, April 12, the replacement plan was a surprise back-to-back set with Berlin producer Marlon Hoffstadt at the Do LaB, starting at 10:45 p.m. Pacific time. Variety said the Do LaB announced it on Instagram as the stage’s closing set for Weekend 1. (variety.com) The switch changed both the scale and the setting. Anyma had been booked after Sabrina Carpenter on the main Coachella Stage, but the makeup appearance moved to the smaller dance-focused Do LaB instead. (variety.com) (billboard.com) Anyma said the canceled performance was supposed to debut “ÆDEN,” a new live production he and his team had spent a year building. He said the winds prevented the stage from being built and made his live setup unsafe to operate. (variety.com) (billboard.com) That explanation fit the kind of show Anyma has been bringing to large venues. Billboard tied the Coachella booking to the rollout of “ÆDEN” after his late-2024 and early-2025 Sphere Las Vegas run, where his sets leaned heavily on large-scale visual production. (billboard.com) Weather was a visible problem across the festival grounds on Friday. Variety reported wind gusts in Indio reached 35 to 40 miles per hour and said there were reports of tents being toppled in the campgrounds. (variety.com) Coachella’s 2026 festival runs April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19, so the canceled slot still has a built-in second-weekend do-over. Variety and Billboard both reported that Anyma remained scheduled for the same Friday-night position on Weekend 2. (coachella.com) (variety.com) (billboard.com) In the end, the set Coachella lost was the full “ÆDEN” debut on Friday, and the set fans got was a late Sunday dance-stage closer with Hoffstadt. That left Anyma back on the bill, but not in the form he had planned. (variety.com 1) (variety.com 2)
