The Weeknd Replaces Ye as Headliner at Coachella

Both The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia have been announced as headliners for the 3rd day of Coachella after Ye was announced as a headliner in January but pulled out on Monday. Ye bailed on the gig earlier this week because he “wants to get help” after publicly dragging former wife Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson on social media; which led to a 24-hour Instagram suspension and having his Grammys performance cancelled.

Coachella organizers allegedly tried to stiff The Weeknd after he stepped in to replace Kanye West at the festival but we hear that The Weeknd threatened to pull out if he wasn’t paid the same money as West, who was set to rake in $8 million plus a $500,000 production fee. Looks like the heat is sorted though and that The Weeknd’s getting the full payment since the official announcement has been made.
