Coachella Weekend One Kicks Off with a Last-Minute Cancellation
Coachella’s first weekend has officially begun, and while the festival is already making waves with its iconic headline performance from Sabrina Carpenter on Friday (10 April), there’s been one major disruption that has caught the attention of fans. Italian-American DJ Anyma was scheduled to take the stage for his ÆDEN set on the Coachella Stage, right after Sabrina Carpenter’s performance. However, this plan was abruptly changed at the last minute.
Fans had been eagerly waiting for Anyma’s set, which was set to start at midnight. The anticipation was high, especially after the DJ shared several posts on Instagram expressing his excitement about the festival. This performance was particularly anticipated as it followed the release of a new single featuring Blackpink’s Lisa, who was rumored to make an appearance during the set.
Unfortunately, strong wind conditions forced the cancellation of Anyma’s performance. A message appeared on screens around the stage and on Coachella’s social media pages at approximately 12:17am, stating: “Due to strong wind conditions affecting Anyma’s stage build, he is unable to perform. Coachella & Anyma have made this decision together with your safety as the priority. Further updates to come.”
Anyma, who is part of the duo Tale of Us, is known for his visually stunning productions. The late-night gusts in Indio proved to be a significant challenge for such a complex setup. In a post on Instagram, he expressed his disappointment: “I’m sorry everyone. We’ve done everything in our control to build the show I’ve worked on for an entire year.” He added, “Safety always comes first and we’re working on a solution now.”
It remains unclear whether Anyma will find another slot during the remaining days of the festival. However, he is still scheduled to perform at the same time on the second weekend. Fans are eagerly awaiting further updates from Coachella regarding any potential rescheduling.
