The Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals have been rescheduled to 2021 after this year’s events were cancelled due to coronavirus, organisers have said.
The festivals had originally been set to take place in the California desert in April before the pandemic threw the entertainment industry into chaos.
Organisers pushed both events to October, but a state health official cancelled them earlier this week. A spokesperson for promoter Goldenvoice has now said the 2021 editions will take place in April “as of now”.
Coachella, one of the world’s biggest and best-known music festivals, is set for two weekends over April 9-11 and April 16-18, while country music event Stagecoach is pencilled in for April 23-25.
