When Kanye West bailed as Sunday's Coachella headliner, EDM stars Swedish House Mafia leapt at the chance to close the festival with friend Abel Tesfaye.
The indie singer-songwriter heads into a prime-time Coachella performance with mixed feelings on her newfound fame and a fierce desire to use it for good.Wassim “Sal” Slaiby, who manages both acts as well as Doja Cat, said the idea to move the performance to Sunday and to expand it to headlining dimensions — on the Coachella poster it’s billed as Swedish House Mafia x The Weeknd — came together quickly in the wake of West’s withdrawal.
“We don’t have a hit record on the radio right now but we’re headlining Coachella,” says Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello, right, with Axwell. To release “Paradise Again,” Slaiby brokered a deal with Republic Records, one of pop’s most effective hitmaking machines. But Angello says he’s not interested in chasing what’s happening, for instance, on L.A.’s KIIS-FM, which he says he doesn’t listen to.
