The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, will not feature Kanye West this year.
The 44-year-old rapper, who now goes by the moniker "Ye," was scheduled to headline the festival on both Sundays, but reportedly stepped out with less than two weeks' notice.West's staff verified the story to Variety through an unnamed source. The report was also confirmed by Rolling Stone and the Los Angeles Times.
Coachella will continue to showcase Harry Styles and Billie Eilish as headlining artists from April 15-17 and April 22-24.
West was barred from attending the 64th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday after making incendiary remarks against his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, her boyfriend, Pete Davidson, and TV host Trevor Noah.
West won two Grammys for Best Melodic Rap Performance and Best Rap Song despite not being in attendance.In March, West was banned from Instagram for 24 hours for breaching the platform's hate speech, bullying, and harassment regulations by attacking all three celebrities online.
