This was kind of assumed, despite the hope they held out…
From People:
Festival-goers holding out hope to attend the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the Stagecoach Country Music Festival this year will have to wait until 2021.
Both festivals, which are put on by the company Goldenvoice, have been officially canceled due to concerns about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Riverside County officials announced Wednesday.
The county’s public health officer Cameron Kaiser signed the order to cancel the popular festivals on Wednesday, citing concerns of a possible spike in COVID-19 cases later in the year.
“I am concerned as indications grow that COVID-19 could worsen in the fall,” Kaiser said in a press release. “In addition, events like Coachella and Stagecoach would fall under Governor Newsom’s Stage 4, which he has previously stated would require treatments or a vaccine to enter.”
