Coachella & Stagecoach Music Festivals Officially Cancelled in 2020

Coronavirus and the potential for a second wave of COVID-19 has officially caused both the Coachella Music Festival and Stagecoach Music Festival to be cancelled.

Riverside County Public Health Officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser signed an order on Wednesday (June 10) making this news official, noting a “possible autumn resurgence” of COVID-19. “These decisions are not taken lightly with the knowledge that many people will be impacted. My first priority is the health of the community,” Dr. Kaiser added.

Both festivals usually take place in April, but were both postponed until October 2020. Now, neither will be taking place this year and it’s unclear when they might return next year.

We previously knew that Coachella would likely not happen based on this info from a few days ago.
