Coachella & Stagecoach Officially Postponed
• It’s now official: the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals have both been postponed until this fall due to concerns over the coronavirus outbreak.
A posting on the Stagecoach website reads, “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. 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 October 9, 10 and 11 and October 16, 17 and 18, 2020. Stagecoach will take place on October 23, 24 and 25, 2020. All purchases for the April dates will be honored for the rescheduled October dates. Purchasers will be notified by Friday, March 13 on how to obtain a refund if they are unable to attend. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you in the desert this fall.”
Both of these widely expected postponements follow last Friday’s announcement that South by Southwest is officially off for this year, along with Radiodays Europe in Lisbon, Portugal and the postponement of two Miami-based events: the Ultra Music Festival and the Winter Music Conference.
