Rezz will no longer be appearing at Coachella 2026’s second weekend, citing health issues.
The Ukrainian-Canadian DJ performed on the Sahara stage on Saturday (April 11), but confirmed yesterday (April 14) that she had to drop out of this weekend’s festival.
“My body has been whispering for a while that I need a real break,” Rezz explained in a statement posted to X. “But I continued to push thinking it would be fine.”
“I have to put my health first as things going on need to be addressed,” she continued. “I’m really sorry to anyone who may be disappointed.”
She then promised to upload her full set from Coachella’s first weekend to YouTube. Rezz did not elaborate further on the specifics on her health issues.
