Beyoncé, who is pregnant with twins, pulled out last week, citing her doctor's advice to dial back her touring during the rest of her pregnancy. Co-headlining April's festival with Lady Gaga are Radiohead and Kendrick Lamar; each will perform one night on two consecutive weekends. With Beyoncé out, Gaga will be the first female to headline the music festival since Bjork in 2007.
