Anyma moved to Sunday close

Anyma ended up back on the Coachella schedule Sunday night, closing the Do LaB after wind canceled his planned Friday main-stage set. (ocregister.com) The new slot was a back-to-back set with Berlin producer Marlon Hoffstadt at 10:45 p.m. on Sunday, April 12, at the Do LaB during Weekend 1 in Indio. Variety and other outlets reported the set after Do LaB announced it on social media Sunday. (variety.com) Anyma had originally been booked for a midnight Friday, April 10 performance on the main Coachella Stage, after Sabrina Carpenter. Billboard reported the festival canceled that set about 15 minutes after its scheduled start because strong winds were affecting the stage build. (billboard.com) The weather problem was bigger than one artist. The Desert Sun reported a wind and dust advisory across the Coachella Valley, while the South Coast Air Quality Management District said gusts could reach 50 miles per hour and push particle pollution into “Unhealthy” or worse categories. (desertsun.com, (aqmd.gov)) That context helps explain why the replacement was not a simple do-over. Billboard reported Anyma’s canceled Friday show was supposed to debut ÆDEN, a large-scale audiovisual production built for the main stage, while the Sunday appearance moved him to Coachella’s smaller dance-focused Do LaB instead. (billboard.com, (pollstar.com)) In the hours after the cancellation, Anyma told fans he was “heartbroken” and said the team had done “everything in our control” to build the show safely. By Saturday, reports said he had told fans there were no open Weekend 1 slots for the full production and that he was working on another solution. (billboard.com, (aol.com)) The Sunday Do LaB set gave Coachella a late-weekend reset without recreating the canceled main-stage spectacle. It also let the festival end with the artist who had been one of Friday’s biggest no-shows. (ocregister.com, (variety.com))
