The festival has since confirmed that the band will play the Mojave tent at 6:45pm tomorrow, Friday 15 April, following a scheduled performance from Carly Rae Jepsen.
It will be the first time the band have returned to the desert bonanza since 2014 when they headlined the festival but this time, without Will Butler, younger brother of Win, who recently announced he had left the band.
