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.

It’s probably time for Coachella to start looking for a new headlining act for the festival’s back-to-back weekends. Although there hasn’t been any official cancellation as of yet, common sense would dictate that Beyonce will not be able to headline the Indio, CA festival this April.

After Beyonce blessed us all with the news that she is pregnant with twins, her ability to perform is of course affected. Beyonce has performed while pregnant before, in fact she announced her first pregnancy during a performance in 2011 at the MTV Video Music Awards. However, she was not as far along as she will be during Coachella this year, and that performance was just a few songs.

Beyonce is Beyonce, but she is still human, and at the time of Coachella she will be about 7 or 8 months pregnant and in no position to put on two huge headlining performances. And if you’ve ever seen Beyonce live, she doesn’t just sit on a stool with her mic stand. Some women aren’t even advised to fly on an airplane that far along, none the less perform on the biggest stage in the U.S. One thing that is for sure, if Coachella does have to put in a sub for Beyonce, she casts a huge shadow for any possible replacement.

Stay tuned as we will update our readers with any new information.
