Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been cancelled for 2021 BANG Showbiz 30/01/2021 Bang Showbiz Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been postponed. The famous festival - which was meant to take place in April - and its sister festival Stagecoach has been officially postponed owing to the coronavirus pandemic, Riverside County Public Health have confirmed. Dr. Cameron Kaiser, Riverside County Public Health Officer, issued a order, which read: "This Order recognises that both the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach Music Festival are music concerts and gatherings of an international scope, attracting hundreds of thousands of attendees from many countries, including several disproportionately afflicted by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. This order is intended to reduce the likelihood of exposure to COVID-19, thereby slowing the spread of COVID-19 in communities worldwide. If COVID-19 were detected at these festivals, the scope and number of attendees and the nature of the venue would make it infeasible, if not impossible, to track those who may be placed at risk."
