Tonight, Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd are performing together at Coachella. During their Sunday night headlining set, Swedish House Mafia are likel to play tracks off their debut album Paradise Again, including their collaboration with the Weeknd, “Moth to a Flame.” The Weeknd could showcase songs from Dawn FM. Watch the set below and follow all of Pitchfork’s Coachella 2022 coverage.

Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd replaced Kanye West as festival headliners after West withdrew from the performance for undisclosed reasons. The rapper had previously threatened to cancel his set if fellow headliner Billie Eilish did not apologize to Travis Scott. West believed that Eilish had insulted Scott—whom West intended to bring out at Coachella—when she paused a show to help a fan, not long after the Astroworld tragedy. Eilish said she “literally never said a thing about travis” and “was just helping a fan.”

In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello said that the Weeknd was already planning on showing up during the group’s Coachella set, but being bumped up to headliner status gave the trio a much larger budget and heightened creative freedom for the show. Swedish House Mafia were originally scheduled to perform Friday night, following Harry Styles’ headlining slot. According to The Times, the Weeknd paused production on his forthcoming HBO series to perform as a co-headliner with the electronic trio.

The Weeknd previously headlined Coachella in 2018 and performed in 2012 and 2015. Swedish House Mafia headlined Coachella in 2012. In January, they remixed the Weeknd’s Dawn FM track “Sacrifice.”
