The Weeknd, Swedish House Mafia Added to Coachella Music Festival Lineup
INDIO (CNS) – The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia are stepping in for
Kanye West as the headlining performers at the Coachella music festival,
according to media reports.
Variety and TMZ are reporting that the Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia
will perform on April 17 and 24 after West, who changed his stage name to Ye,
pulled out of the event earlier this week.
West said he was not going to perform at Coachella if singer Billie
Eilish didn’t apologize to rapper Travis Scott for saying she waits “for
people to be OK until I keep going,” during a concert she stopped to have her
crew help a fan in the crowd in February.
West posted on social media that the comment was directed at Scott in
reference to when nine people died after a crowd rush at his Astroworld
Festival.
“Come on Billie we love you. Please apologize to Trav and to the
families of the people who lost their lives. No one intended this to happen,”
West wrote in an Instagram post. “Trav didn’t have any idea of what was
happening when he was on stage and was very hurt by what happened, and yes Trav
will be with me at Coachella, but now I need Billie to apologize before I
perform.”
Eilish wrote on West’s Instagram post, “literally never said a thing
about travis. was just helping a fan,” according to a report in The Hill.
Eilish is performing at Coachella on April 16 and 23.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is April 15, 16, 17, 22,
23, and 24 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio.

More than 2,000 rescues — and the year isn’t over yet. Santa Clemente lifeguards are keeping a close eye on the Pacific as they prepare for potentially stronger surf and bigger waves this winter. From Tower Zero, lifeguards monitor the entire beach and use cameras to spot trouble in the water. One of their biggest concerns? Rip currents, which can pull swimmers far from shore. With more rescues already this year than all of last year, lifeguards say the key is simple: be ready before someone needs help. #SanClemente #Lifeguards #OceanSafety #RipCurrents #BeachSafety SurfSafety SouthernCalifornia PacificOcean NBCPalmSprings
