Anyma's late-night performance at Coachella was canceled Friday due to strong winds affecting the stage build. The EDM artist was scheduled to take the main stage at midnight, following Sabrina Carpenter's headline set. Organizers prioritized safety in the joint decision.
Anyma's set at Coachella's first weekend was scrapped around 12:15 a.m. Friday after strong winds hit the festival grounds in Indio, California. The DJ had planned to premiere a new show titled “Aeden,” which he described as the result of a year's work. Festival organizers announced a “scheduling change” shortly before the midnight slot, 90 minutes after Sabrina Carpenter's performance ended without issues. “Due to strong wind conditions affecting Anyma’s stage build, he is unable to perform,” a joint statement from Coachella and Anyma read on social media. “Coachella & Anyma have made this decision together with your safety as the priority.” Anyma expressed regret in his own message: “I’m sorry everyone. We’ve done everything in our control to build the show I’ve worked an entire year on. Safety always comes first and we’re working on a solution now.” It remains unclear if the performance will shift to Saturday or Sunday this weekend. Anyma is still set for Coachella's second weekend next week. The winds only disrupted the closing act, allowing earlier performers including Turnstile, the xx, and Katseye to go ahead. As of Saturday morning, no weather warnings affected the day's lineup featuring headliners Justin Bieber, alongside the Strokes, David Byrne, Interpol, Addison Rae, and Nine Inch Nails.
