- Anyma (Matteo Milleri) had his Coachella Weekend 1 set canceled early Saturday after winds gusting 35-40 mph in Indio made the stage build and his live setup unsafe to operate, per a statement he posted to X.
- Milleri said he was 'heartbroken' and 'devastated,' apologizing to fans at the main stage and those watching the livestream, noting he and his team had worked 'day and night for the past year' on the new ÆDEN show.
- Coachella notified attendees of the cancellation at 12:17 a.m. via app push notification and an online post, stating the decision was made jointly with Anyma 'with your safety as the priority.'
- Anyma was slated to perform directly after headliner Sabrina Carpenter on Day 1; he said no other Weekend 1 slots are open and he doesn't want to 'impose on the other artists' slots,' but is 'working on a solution to bring you some music at least.'
- The weather toppled tents in Coachella's campground area on Friday; Sunday's forecast calls for 10-20 mph winds with possible gusts on the festival's closing day.
- Anyma remains on the bill for the same Friday-night slot during Coachella's Weekend 2.
Why it matters: Coachella's biggest after-headliner slot — a prime post-Carpernter viewing window for both the livestream audience and on-ground fans — goes dark for Weekend 1, and Anyma has no easy reschedule option without bumping another artist, leaving the festival's marquee electronic booking on hold for a week and putting Weekend 2 logistics in sharper focus if winds return.
