    Coachella and Stagecoach Officially Canceled Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

    by

    Riverside County’s public health officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser reveals in an order that the decision is made due to ‘concerns of a fall resurgence of Covid-19.’

    Jan 30, 2021
    AceShowbiz – There will be no Coachella and Stagecoach this year as well. Nearly eight months after Coachella and Stagecoach were postponed for a second time due to COVID-19, Riverside County health officials have announced that the festivals have been canceled indefinitely.
    “The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the Stagecoach Country Music Festival currently scheduled for April 2021 are hereby canceled,” the county’s public health officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser said in an order on Friday, January 30. Kaiser went on noting that the decision was made due to “concerns of a fall resurgence of Covid-19.”
    The order continued, “If COVID-19 were detected at these festivals, the scope and number of attendees and the nature of the venue would make it infeasible, if not impossible, to track those who may be placed at risk.” It didn’t mention whether they show will be canceled for all of 2021 or rescheduled to 2022.

    The annual festivals, which were held at the 78-acre Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA, were initially scheduled for April 2020 but then were postponed to October due to coronavirus global pandemic. However in June of the same year, Kaiser announced that the festivals would be postponed once again.
    A statement read at the time, “Coachella weekend one will take place April 9-11, 2021 and weekend two will be April 16 – 18, 2021. Stagecoach is set for April 23-25, 2021. We look forward to sharing our new lineups and more information. We can’t wait to be together in the desert again when it is safe.”
    Rage Against the Machine, Megan Thee Stallion, Run the Jewels, Calvin Harris, Travis Scott (II), Thom Yorke, 21 Savage, Danny Elfman, Frank Ocean, Lana Del Rey, Lil Nas X, FKA Twigs and Fatboy Slim were among those included in the 2020 lineup.
    As of now, Riverside County has recorded 271,910 confirmed cases of the virus. Meanwhile, 3,091 COVID-19 related deaths have been reported.

      Coachella 2020: Rescheduled Dates Completely Canceled Amid Uncertainty Over COVID-19 Crisis

      by

      AEG CEO Dan Beckerman has reportedly sent a note to employees stating that live events with fans are unlikely to happen any time soon and won’t resume until sometime in 2021.
      Jun 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Coachella is not happening at all in 2020, according to a note to employees from AEG CEO Dan Beckerman.
      The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which was scheduled to take place over two weekends in April 2020, was previously postponed until October and set to be held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio.
      However, as events continued to be cancelled or delayed, the 2020 installment of the annual gathering has been called off altogether, with Beckerman revealing, “It is clear now that live events with fans will not resume for many months and likely not until sometime in 2021.”
      Alongside the note, obtained by Billboard, editors noted it’s “also unlikely rescheduled events will take place this year… Officials with Goldenvoice are still trying to determine whether the two-weekend, 125,000-person-per-day festival will make a limited-capacity return in April 2021 or a larger, higher capacity comeback in October 2021.”
      The report also noted that “about 40 per cent” of ticket buyers requested refunds for this year’s festival.
      “AEG officials think they could probably pull off the festival in April at 60 per cent capacity, but are holding off on making a final rescheduling decision until there is more clarity on the pandemic’s overall trajectory,” they added.
      Travis Scott (II), Frank Ocean and Rage Against the Machine had been tapped to headline the event.

      Coachella and Stagecoach Officially Pushed Back to October Amid Coronavirus Concerns

      by

      Stressing the importance of guests, staff and community’s health and safety at a time of universal uncertainty, promoters at Goldenvoice claim they will honor all purchases for the April dates.
      Mar 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – California’s Coachella and Stagecoach festivals have officially been postponed as state officials take drastic measures to contain the coronavirus.
      The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which was scheduled to take place over two weekends next month (April), will now hit the Empire Polo Club in Indio in October and country music event Stagecoach will be staged at the same location a week later.
      “At the direction of the County of Riverside and local health authorities, we must sadly confirm the rescheduling of Coachella and Stagecoach due to COVID-19 concerns,” a statement from promoters at Goldenvoice reads. “While this decision comes at a time of universal uncertainty, we take the safety and health of our guests, staff and community very seriously.”
      “We urge everyone to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials.”
      “Coachella will now take place on Oct. 9, 10 and 11 and Oct. 16, 17 and 18, 2020. Stagecoach will take place on Oct. 23, 24 and 25, 2020. All purchases for the April dates will be honored for the rescheduled October dates… Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you in the desert this fall.”

      The promoters of the festivals remain hopeful Travis Scott (II), Frank Ocean and Rage Against the Machine will still be on board to lead the Coachella line-up in October, while the Stagecoach event still lists Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood and Eric Church as headliners.
      The news comes a week after the organisers of the SXSW Festival in Texas were forced to cancel this year’s event due to ongoing coronavirus concerns. The Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida has also been postponed, while Pearl Jam and the Zac Brown Band have scrapped upcoming North American tours.
      California currently has 157 cases of COVID-19, aka coronavirus, and two people have died. The global tally has passed 113,000 cases, with over 4,000 deaths. As of Tuesday (March 10), the U.S. has reported over 700 coronavirus cases and 19 deaths.
