As Coachella drops vaccination requirement, immunocompromised fans fear the consequences

for its Coachella and country-themed Stagecoach festivals in Indio in April.

For two years, COVID-19 has forced the live music industry to craft safety polices month to month in response to the pandemic. In August, Goldenvoice’s parent company AEG Presents was one of the first promoters to institute a vaccine mandate for its shows, as live music began its halting return to clubs, amphitheaters and arenas.

Representatives for Goldenvoice did not respond to requests for comment. A representative for AEG Presents declined to comment. The rules follow California’s requirements for outdoor mega-events, which as of Wednesday also no longer include many Rimoin said that as states and municipalities relax rules around gatherings and safety policies, “It’s going to be incumbent on people who go to assess their risk and the risk of people they live with, and act accordingly. If you’re immunocompromised, or if you have co-morbidities, you can’t just rely on [festival] organizers or the county to keep you safe.The festival industry is similarly weighing the risks of changing COVID-19 polices at a complicated moment in the pandemic.

The new free-for-all policies are a step beyond what other festivals are enacting, however, including at AEG’s other SoCal events. Both the Cruel World and Just Like Heaven festivals, two goth- and indie-leaning fests planned for later this spring in Pasadena, currently require proof of vaccination or a recent negative test, according to their stated policies.

SXSW ended up being a super spreader event. It’s a little premature to throw caution to the wind.

And you are telling them the vaccines are a hedge against catastrophic illness, not the type of vaccine that prevents transmission. And you are telling the public what happened when Denmark removed masks. And of course, you are recalling us to last year's masks off consequences.

Wait u can go to Coachella unvaxxed? Weird

Okay, then don’t go. The freedom to choose is a great thing

What's the data on Covid infection rate from the super bowl?

Go for it!! We’ve got people to spare.

Yes be safe 🙏from the virus and other diseases so many not safe praying people realize how dangerous being.

I just got over covid. If I was givin the option to not get it, I'd take it.

immunocompromised and your idea of mitigating your risk is going to mix and mingle hoping your 💉 works and others💉 works for you too? I guess staying away from such environs unless absolutely necessary is totally out the question.
