DJ Anyma's Midnight Coachella Set Scrapped Over High Winds

Anyma, the Italian-American DJ and one-half of the EDM duo Tale of Us, was scheduled to perform at midnight on Coachella's main stage on April 11 but canceled due to severe wind conditions affecting the stage structure. Festival organizers announced the cancellation at 12:17 a.m. via the Coachella app and online, citing safety as the priority.

Anyma's set was slated to begin approximately 90 minutes after headliner Sabrina Carpenter finished her performance on the opening night of the festival. The cancellation notification stated: "Due to strong wind conditions affecting Anyma's stage build, he is unable to perform. Coachella & Anyma have made this decision together with your safety as the priority."

Livestream viewers saw the notification when "Stage Wrapped" appeared beneath the Main Stage listing. The decision to cancel came hours into the festival's first night, which featured performances from Dijon, Disclosure, and Turnstile alongside Carpenter's headlining set.

It remains unclear whether Anyma will perform during the festival's second weekend (April 17-19) or at another time during the current run, which continues through Sunday. Coachella repeats the same lineup of artists across both weekends, with additional headliners Justin Bieber and Karol G scheduled for later dates.

Context

Coachella has a history of weather-related schedule adjustments, though full cancellations of major performances are uncommon. The festival typically operates across two identical weekends in the California desert, drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees annually. Wind conditions in the Coachella Valley can shift rapidly during spring, particularly at night when temperature differentials increase.

Anyma has built a significant following in electronic music as part of Tale of Us, a project known for immersive live productions. The project's performances often feature elaborate stage design and technical infrastructure, which can be more vulnerable to environmental disruptions than simpler setups.

What's Next

Festival organizers have not announced whether Anyma will receive a rescheduled slot during the current weekend or be moved to the second weekend lineup. The cancellation sets a precedent for how Coachella handles weather-related disruptions during late-night performances, when wind patterns may be harder to predict. Attendees and livestream viewers will likely watch for updates on whether the performance is relocated or if Anyma receives a makeup date at a future festival date.
