“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,” reads the official statement shared by Goldenvoice on social media. “While this decision comes at a time of universal uncertainty, we take the safety and health of our guests, staff and community very seriously.”
As such, Coachella has been moved to the weekends of October 9-11 and 16-18. Stagecoach 2020 will now happen over the weekend of October 23-25. While all tickets for the April dates are good for October, attendees looking for refunds will get details on how to do so on March 14.
Here’s a look back at Coachella 2019.
