Report: Coachella Could Be Postponed
Rolling Stone is reporting that due to coronavirus, Coachella could be postponed.
They explain, “Several artist managers have been in talks with Goldenvoice for the last week discussing postponement of the festival, a source familiar with the situation told Rolling Stone Monday night, adding that the cancelation of SXSW and the recent outbreak of cases in California’s Riverside County ‘really changed everyone’s tune.'” They also add, “Another source said Coachella ‘confirmed’ postponement with their agency on Monday night, but did not provide further details. A third source close to the situation said the talks are ongoing and not finalized yet.”
