The Weeknd in talks to fill Kanye West’s headliner spot at Coachella

The Weeknd may fill Kanye West’s headliner spot at this year’s Coachella after the rapper decided to pull out of the festival just two weeks before kick off.

According to TMZ, the 32-year-old singer has been in talks with festival organizers but discussions stalled at one point.

Organizers were reportedly ‘testing the waters to see if The Weeknd would perform a few songs along with Swedish House Mafia,’ but are also interested in the hitmaker ‘as a stand-alone act.’

No final determinations have been made about The Weeknd’s potential Coachella set, as other artists are also reportedly being approached for the last-minute gig.
