Coachella Headliners Shift For Sunday: What To Know For Apr. 21-23

INDIO, CA — Bad Bunny will headline the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival with a late-night performance Friday evening as Blackpink, Blink-182, Skrillex, Four Tet and Fred Again prepare to headline Saturday and Sunday.

Performances will begin at noon Friday on two of seven stages -- Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre, Sonora, Gobi, Mojave, Sahara and Yuma, according to festival officials. Juliet Mendoza and Dave From the Grave will get the festival underway with performances at Sonora and Yuma.

Performances on Sonora following Dave From the Grave include The Murder Capital, Lava La Rue, DannyLux and others, while performances on Yuma following Juliet Mendoza consist of Chris Stussy, Oliver Koletzki, Idris Elba and others.

Bad Bunny will finish things off at the Coachella Stage Friday night, following performances from Gorillaz, Burna Boy, Becky G, Pusha T, and Doechii, as he did the first weekend. Other acts scheduled to perform Friday include the Chemical Brothers, Metro Boomin, SG Lewis, YUNGBLUD, Malaa, Dombresky and Blondie among others.

Blackpink will headline Saturday night following performances from Rosalia, Charli XCX, 070 Shake, and Marc Rebillet. Other acts scheduled to perform Saturday are $uicideboy$, Labrinth, Earthgang, Bratty, Yung Lean and Umi, among others.

Frank Ocean was originally set to close out the festival, but after a much-criticized performance during the first weekend, he backed out of the second weekend, citing a leg injury, according to multiple reports.

"After suffering an injury to his leg on festival grounds in the week leading up to weekend 1 ... Frank Ocean was unable to perform the intended show but was still intent on performing, and in 72 hours, the show was reworked out of necessity," a representative for Ocean told the Los Angeles Times and Variety, in regard to the singer's performance this past weekend.

"On doctor's advice, (Ocean) is not able to perform weekend 2 due to two fractures and a sprain in his left leg."

Blink-182 will headline the Coachella stage before Skrillex, Four Tet with Fred Again close out the night, replacing Ocean as the closing out headliner Sunday night.

Other acts set to perform Sunday are Bjork, Kali Uchis, Porter Robinson, Dominic Fike, Queens, Willow and Alex G.

ROAD CLOSURES IN EFFECT TO INCREASE SAFETY:

Full road closures were in effect starting Friday in an effort to enhance safety of the second weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and next week during the Stagecoach Festival.

"Approximately 40,000 guests will be shuttled into and out of the concert venue from various locations throughout the Coachella Valley to help ease traffic conditions," Indio city officials said in a statement. "Noise from the festival site could begin on each Thursday prior to the festival dates, due to sound checks and on-site camping guests."

Full closures will be in effect from Friday to Monday until the end of the month at the following locations:

-- Avenue 49 between Hjorth Street and Monroe Street;
-- Avenue 50 between Madison Street and Jackson Street;
-- Hjorth Street between Avenue 49 and Avenue 50;
-- Madison Street between Avenue 49 and Avenue 52;

Residents are encouraged to take alternate routes through Washington Street, Jackson Street, Calhoun Street and Golf Center Parkway for north and south travel and through Highway 111, Dr. Carreon Boulevard, Avenue 54, Miles Avenue and Fred Waring Drive for east and west travel.

A full closure will be in effect on Avenue 50 between Monroe Street and Madison Avenue until May 8, but will extend to Jackson Street for the weekends of the festivals.

Additionally, streets surrounding the festival site and Interstate 10 are expected to see major traffic from the more than 40,000 festival attendees who will be leaving the area each Monday.

The festivals are being held Friday to Sunday each weekend from April 14 to April 30, with the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival the first two weekends and Stagecoach the last weekend. Both festivals are being held at the Empire Polo Club, at 81800 51st Ave.

All streets are expected to reopen to normal traffic patterns by May 8.
