Kanye West Pulls out of Coachella festival Performance

Kanye West has pulled out of his scheduled performance at the Coachella festival. The rapper had been scheduled to play the closing night of the two-weekend festival, which runs April 15-17 and April 22-24.

Although the reason for his cancelation was not clear, he was barred from a planned appearance at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards due to what was described as his “concerning online behavior.”

Recall that in 2020, Kanye West had also pulled out of a planned headlining appearance at the 2020 festival – which was postponed to this year due to the pandemic. He had also canceled the closing dates of his 2016 “Saint Pablo” tour and was hospitalized for mental-health reasons shortly afterward, following incidents that were similar in ways to his behavior in recent months.

The billionaire rapper headlined the famous festival in 2011.

Also Travis Scott who has been on a low profile  following the death of 10 people during his headlining performance at his Astroworld festival in Houston in October and was also scheduled to perform alongside West is said to also not be attending.

Coachella is North America’s largest music festival. The festival’s first two nights will be headlined by Harry Styles and Billie Eilish.

The already sold out festival is scheduled to take place  at its usual location of the Empire Polo Ground. As over 125,000 tickets were sold per day, more than 100,000 people would be attending the prestigious festival.
