Lady Gaga is stepping in to headline Coachella, taking the reins from Beyoncé after she was forced to cancel on doctor's orders.
The performance will make Gaga the second solo female headliner of the scorching fest (Björk has topped the bill twice - '02 and '07).
The Joanne star revealed the exciting news on Twitter last night with an amended poster:
