Lady Gaga to Replace Beyoncé at Coachella 2017

Lady Gaga will officially replace Beyoncé as the third headliner at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2017. The pop star confirmed the news on social media with an updated lineup poster, exclaiming, "Let's party in the desert!"

She will now join Kendrick Lamar and Radiohead as the other top-tier performers at the festival. According to Billboard, Coachella's organizers wanted another female artist to take over Beyoncé's spot, thus making Gaga the first woman to headline Coachella since Björk in 2007. Beyoncé previously dropped out last week "following the advice of her doctors to keep a less rigorous schedule in the coming months." The entertainer is now set to headline the fest next year.
