The official twitter page for Southern California’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has confirmed that Sri Lankan MC M.I.A. will replace Amy Winehouse, who had to drop off the bill for Saturday, April 18th, due to issues with obtaining a work visa to come to the United States.
M.I.A. will take Winehouse’s Saturday-night spot, subheadlining for the Killers. The three-day festival will also feature performances from the likes of Paul McCartney, Morrissey, Leonard Cohen, the Cure, My Bloody Valentine, TV on the Radio, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and will take place at Indio, Calif.’s Empire Polo Club from April 17th to 19th.
