Sorry, Beyonce fans! You will have to wait until 2018 to catch Beyonce’s headlining performance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. According to a statement from festival officials, Beyonce has followed the advice of her doctors “to keep a less rigorous schedule” and therefore will forgo performing at Coachella this year.

But while Coachella lost their best headliner to date today, they also gained their best headliner to date today as well, as Beyonce instead will perform at the premiere California music festival in 2018.

Fans everywhere were initially optimistic that Beyonce would still perform this year, because she’d either give birth to her twins before her Coachella performances or she’d rock a kick-ass performance while carrying twins, because if anyone can do it…it’s Beyonce. But unfortunately the above will not be the case, and Beyonce will take it easy, and we can’t blame her.

Stay tuned to see if Coachella will announce a new 2017 headliner to fill Beyonce’s shoes, but in the meantime, you can start counting down the days until Coachella 2018.
