The organizers of California's Coachella Festival are reportedly reaching out to this year’s lineup and seeing if those artists can perform in 2021 instead, as the chances of the festival taking place this fall grow more remote.
Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott and Frank Ocean were slated to headline the 2020 edition of the event in Indio, California, with Lana Del Rey, Thom Yorke, FKA Twigs, Danny Elfman, Lil Uzi Vert, Run The Jewels and many more on the bill. Some of the acts that have been asked to return in 2021 have already agreed, while others are yet to be confirmed. Not every act is being asked back.
The festival, usually scheduled for two weekends in April, was one of the first major music events to be postponed as the coronavirus pandemic spread rapidly throughout the globe. It was moved to October in the hope that it could safely take place by that time.
Coachella and promoter Goldenvoice have yet to officially announce the postponement to 2021. According to Bloomberg, Coachella generates as much as $100 million in sales for Goldenvoice. It attracts around 250,000 fans over its two weekends.
