Lady Gaga will replace Beyonce at Coachella, but we’ve got bad news if you’ve been using their website

After knocking it out of the park at the Superbowl half-time gig, Gaga will now take the center stage for Coachella.

Beyonce had to vacate the spot when doctors told her that maybe she shouldn’t be performing for hours on end in the middle of the desert when she’s heavily pregnant with twins (as excuses go, it’s a good one), so while the Beyhive had been left devastated, Gaga’s Little Monsters should be over the moon and already applying their Poker Face.

Beyonce Gaga will be the first female to headline the festival since Bjork did back in 2007, but anyone who has already been using the festival’s site to get their tickets for this April’s event are in for some bad news.

According to Pitchfork, those who bought tickets received an email from a representative from Coachella stating:

“We recently discovered that unauthorized third parties illegally gained access to the usernames, first and last names, shipping addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth individuals provided to Coachella, We have confirmed that no user passwords were stolen.”

Well, that’s not good news, is it?

There’s only one to do…
