Coachella & Stagecoach Festivals Trying to Move to October due to Coronavirus

Festivalgoers attend the 2018 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Field on April 13, 2018 in Indio, Calif.

It’s not a done deal but organizers should know in about 48 hours if the festivals can be saved, say high level sources. Officials with promoter Goldenvoice are working on a plan to try and move the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California, to the weekends of Oct. 9 and Oct. 16 in an attempt to save the event from cancellation amid concerns about the coronavirus outbreak, according to high level sources. The AEG-owned concert promoter is also working to move the Stagecoach country music festival to October as well, possibly to Oct. 23.

Fearing that Riverside County officials will have to pull the 20-year-old event's permit to bring 250,000 fans over two weekends to Indio, California, conversations with city officials and talent agents began late Sunday as the hope for staging the festival in April began to diminish. Earlier Monday three more cases of coronavirus were confirmed in Riverside County where the festival takes place.

Postponing the massive festival series until October is a huge endeavor involving hundreds of artists and their representatives, as well as hundreds of contractors and vendors and tens of thousands of employees.

False. Your info is trash

If they seriously reschedule the same weekend as aclfestival that’s total bullshit on the organizers part. They share the same artists. ATX can’t take this hit after sxsw getting X’ed

October is a beautiful time of the year!

So glad. I’m not attending, but I am in Palm Springs the second weekend and now I don’t have to deal with thousands of weirdos

Michellebldwn1 Just have it in April
