Lady Gaga is set to take Beyoncé’s place as a Coachella headliner.

The announcement comes days after Beyoncé had to cancel her own performance at the festival. Although she initially appeared ready to perform after announcing she was pregnant with twins and putting on an incredible show at the Grammys last month, she will no longer do so. However, she’s already giving fans something to look forward to in 2018.

“Following the advice of her doctors to keep a less rigorous schedule in the coming months, Beyoncé has made the decision to forgo performing at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival,” the statement said. “However, Goldenvoice and Parkwood are pleased to confirm that she will be a headliner at the 2018 festival. Thank you for understanding.”

Lady Gaga will perform April 15 and 22 will join Radiohead and Kendrick Lamar as fellow Coachella headliners. If you can’t see Gaga at Coachella, it’ll only be a few months before she launches the Joanne World Tour on Aug. 1.

And if you’ll remember, she put on a hell of a show just last month.
