In a statement, the festival says she pulled out due to “major production delays”

Solange will no longer be playing this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The festival released a statement citing “major production delays” as the cause behind her last-minute cancelation. “She sends her sincerest apologies, and looks forward to performing at Coachella in the future,” the statement reads. Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Solange and Coachella for further information.

In January, Coachella 2019 announced Solange among the many artists slated to perform the two-weekend event. Childish Gambino, Tame Impala, and Ariana Grande are set to headline the festival. Yesterday, a stagehand fell to his death on the Coachella campgrounds while working on festival setup. The festival’s first weekend kicks off Friday, April 12.
