While the lineup for Coachella 2018 has yet to be announced, we do know Beyoncé will be one of the headliners after the “Lemonade” singer had to pull out of the 2017 festival. In a statement given to the Associated Press in February, a representative for the singer said she had to withdraw after doctor’s orders.

“Following the advice of her doctors to keep a less rigorous schedule in the coming months, Beyoncé has made the decision to forgo performing at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival,” the statement read. “However, Goldenvoice and Parkwood are pleased to confirm that she will be a headliner at the 2018 festival. Thank you for your understanding.”

The decision for the singer to pull out of the 2017 festival came a few weeks after she announced she was pregnant. The 35-year-old superstar is currently in the third trimester of her pregnancy and is expecting twins.

While Beyoncé has kept quiet about her pregnancy -- opting for photos on social media instead -- the singer’s father, Matthew Knowles, did drop a hint about her due date. During a May 19 interview with TMZ, Knowles said the singer had more than two weeks to go before giving birth.

The Grammy-winning artist is also reportedly having a “harder time this pregnancy” and is having trouble “keeping up her energy,” a source for E! News said. But while Beyoncé’s latest pregnancy may be tough, the singer is still enjoying it. “She loves being pregnant,” the source said.
