Swedish House Mafia are also expected to perform at the event which will be held on two consecutive three-day weekends at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California, Rolling Stone reported. The scheduled dates are April 15-17 and April 22-24, according to the magazine.

Coachella 2020, originally scheduled for April, was moved to October 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic before being canceled, Billboard reported. The 2021 festival was also canceled, the website reported.

Eilish and Swedish House Mafia have played Coachella before. In 2019, Eilish became the youngest performer to headline the festival, Rolling Stone reported. Swedish House Mafia performed in 2012, according to the magazine.

West was the headline act in 2011, Variety reported.

>> Travis Scott no longer headlining Coachella

Coachella, which is North America’s largest music festival, has already sold all of its 125,000 per-day ticket allotment, the website reported. Due to the recent surge in omicron, the COVID-19 variant, it is unclear whether the festival might have to shift dates or be canceled, the website reported.

Styles recently completed the biggest North American tour by any major artist since the pandemic began in early 2020, according to Variety.

The original headliners for this year, announced in January 2020, were Travis Scott, Frank Ocean and Rage Against the Machine, according to Variety. However, Scott was removed from the bill after the Astroworld music festival incident in Houston, where eight people were killed when crowds surged toward the stage; and Ocean moved his appearance to 2023, the website reported.
