​Brazilian funk sensation Anitta has announced the cancellation of her scheduled performances at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2025, citing unforeseen personal reasons. The festival, set to take place on April 12 and 19 in Indio, California, will now proceed without one of its anticipated headliners.​

Anitta shared the news with her fans via social media, expressing her disappointment and gratitude:​ «I was really looking forward to being at Coachella this year, but due to unexpected personal reasons, I will not be able to perform. I am truly grateful to the festival for the invitation, their understanding, and continued support.» ​

Known as the «Queen of Brazilian Funk,» Anitta has successfully blended pop, reggaeton, and Brazilian funk, achieving international acclaim. She made history in 2022 as the first Brazilian solo artist to perform on Coachella’s main stage and was slated to be among the top-billed acts for Saturday, alongside Green Day and Charli XCX.
