There will unfortunately be one fewer performer at weekend 2 of Coachella.
In a new statement posted to X on Tuesday (April 14), DJ and producer Rezz shared that she had to cancel her next appearance at the festival, citing health issues.
“My body has been whispering for a while that I need a real break,” Rezz explained. “But I continued to push thinking it would be fine.”
Rezz performed in the Sahara Tent at Coachella on Saturday, the second day of the festival’s first weekend. Although the weekend 2 schedule has not yet been released, Rezz most likely would have had a favorable time slot, as her 9:10 p.m. weekend 1 set was nearly an hour long. The DJ did not provide specifics as to why she is pulling out of weekend 2 but made it clear that this decision had to be made.

“I have to put my health first, as things going on need to be addressed,” she said. Rezz then shares her apologies to fans who may be upset to not be seeing her perform at weekend 2, promising to upload her full weekend 1 set to YouTube soon. “I love u all, I hope u understand.”
Rezz concludes by saying that her healing will be a “process,” that she is grateful so got the chance to perform at Coachella and “now it’s time to focus on my health.”
Rezz’s weekend 1 performance was the DJ’s second time playing the festival. She made history in 2018 as the first woman to headline the Sahara stage, a tent known for hosting major EDM artists throughout the fest.
Beyond Coachella, Rezz is set to perform at several more festivals this year, including Breakaway Music Festival in Columbus, Ohio, next month and Tomorrowland in Flanders, Belgium, in July. She has not yet made any statements regarding her other 2026 performances.
