Heading to Weekend 2 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival? Set times have just been released and there are some minor — and major — changes.

First, headliner Frank Ocean will not be returning for Weekend 2. Instead, EDM star Skrillex, along with fellow DJs Fred Again and Four Tet, are set to close out the second weekend of the festival Sunday, according to multiple reports.

The news, reported by Variety and Rolling Stone, comes just a few hours after Goldenvoice announced a mysterious artist “tba” in Sunday’s headliner slot at 10:25 p.m. in place of Ocean. Blink-182, the surprise guest of Weekend 1, was also moved to the main stage and will play before the DJ collaborators Sunday night.

According to Variety, Ocean pulled out of the festival due to an ankle injury.

On Instagram, Fred Again confirmed the reports, posting a photo of himself, Skrillex and Four Tet and writing, in part, "OH MY GOD. TBA. Coachella Sunday night. I didn't think I was gonna be back with my brothers like this for a longgggg time. Until last night. And here we are."
