Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd Replace Kanye West As Coachella 2022 Headliner
Less than two weeks ahead of Coachella, the festival has confirmed that Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd will headline in lieu of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.
The "Moth To A Flame" collaborators will perform in the festival-closing slot on Sunday night of each weekend, April 15-17 and April 22-24. It's worth noting that the day's three top-billed acts—Swedish House Mafia, The Weeknd and Doja Cat—are all managed by Wassim "Sal" Slaiby's SalXCo firm.
Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello of Swedish House Mafia are on the verge of releasing their long-awaited debut album, Paradise Again, on April 15th. The supergroup also recently contributed production to two songs from The Weeknd's chart-topping 5th studio album, Dawn FM.
