COACHELLA, Calif. (KNX) — Lil Wayne is stepping in for Saweetie as the headliner of the Coachella Day One 22’ festival on New Year’s Eve in Coachella.
Saweetie dropped out of the event because of personal reasons, a spokesperson for Spotlight 29 and the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians told the Orange County Register.
The rest of the lineup for the show–including Shaquille O’Neal as DJ Diesel–at the Coachella Crossroads will remain the same.
Spotlight 29 announced the change on Instagram and offered two complimentary tickets for the event per person.
The event, which also features art installations and stilt walkers, is scheduled to run from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.
The New Year’s Eve event was the subject of a trademark-infringement suit filed last week against Live Nation Entertainment by the organizers of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.
A judge handed organizers of the festival a win Tuesday, granting a temporary restraining order against the advertisers of Coachella Day One 22’.
