Some more sad news, festival-goers! Earlier in the week, rumors quickly spread that Coachella 2020 was canceled due to COVID-19 as the virus is still getting reports of new cases while the country slowly starts to open back up. Yesterday, a report came out that Riverside Country City Officials were the ones to pull the plug on the festival because of the risks of the ongoing pandemic.
Now, Goldenvoice has officially announced that both Coachella and Stagecoach will NOT take place this October 2020. Rumors were also spreading saying the festival will return in a scaled-down version in April 2021 or at full size in October 2021. By the looks of it, as of right now, we’re getting Coachella back in April 2021.
Under the continuing health guidance of the County of Riverside, Coachella and Stagecoach 2020 will not take place this October as previously rescheduled. This is not the future that any of us hoped to confront, but our main focus remains the well-being of our fans, staff, artists, desert partners and everyone involved in the festival.
A year without Coachella and Stagecoach is hard for us to comprehend, but we have every intention of returning in 2021. As of now, Coachella weekend one will take place April 9 – 11, 2021 and weekend two will be April 16 – 18, 2021. Stagecoach is set for April 23 – 25, 2021. We look forward to sharing our new lineups and more information. We can’t wait to be together in the desert again when it is safe.
All 2020 passes will be honored in 2021. Current pass holders will be sent an email by the end of the day on Monday, June 15 with further instructions to request a refund or to roll over to next year.
