The festival issued a statement about the cancellation on its official social media.
“Due to strong winds affecting Anyma’s stage build, he is unable to perform tonight,” it began.
“Coachella and Anyma have made this decision together your safety as the priority.”
In the comments section Anyma added: “I’m sorry everyone. We’ve done everything in our control to build the show I’ve worked an entire year on. Safety always comes first and we’re working on a solution now.”

Anyma was set to perform on the main stage at midnight about 90 minutes after Sabrina Carpenter headlined on Friday night.
His DJ set is described as an immersive 360 digital art and music experience whose performances invite the audience to interact with the art and music.
He has recorded music with some of the world’s biggest artists including BlackPink’s Lisa, Lana Del Rey and Ellie Goulding.
