Solange performed at Coachella 2018 with her sister, Beyoncé, who headlined the music festival last year (opens in new tab). In March, she dropped her fourth studio album, When I Get Home, and was expected to play songs from it.
No word yet on who's replacing Solange, but Coachella attendees can still plan on seeing artists like Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino, and Janelle Monáe.
