Beyonce is set to headline Coachella 2018 after pulling out of this year’s show. The 35-year-old songstress, who already shares five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with husband Jay-Z, announced earlier this year she was expecting again meaning she was replaced by Lady Gaga as the festival’s headline act.
On Thursday, next year’s line-up was confirmed with Beyonce revealed as a returning act – to the delight of fans and festivalgoers who soon swarmed Twitter in delight to voice their need to purchase a ticket. Beyonce was originally set to perform April 15 and 22. It would have marked her first time she performed at the festival, and she would have been the first female act to headline Coachella since Bjork in 2007.
Beyonce, who last appeared at Coachella in 2014 when she danced onstage during her sister Solange’s set, announced in February that she and Jay Z are expecting twins. It is not clear when Beyonce is due to give birth.
