Coachella In Talks to Be Postponed<br />Due to Coronavirus Risk As COVID-19 continues to spread throughout<br />the United States, concerns about the safety of<br />large gatherings has begun to grow. According to multiple sources, the Coachella Valley Music<br />and Arts Festival will likely be the latest coronavirus casualty. Coachella promoter Goldenvoice is reportedly in<br />talks to move the festival from April to October. With around 250,000 fans anticipated to<br />attend and more than 150 acts set to perform,<br />the risk of infection is currently too high. They're also reportedly in talks to move Stagecoach,<br />the country music version of Coachella, to a fall date. Coachella is not the first high profile gathering<br />to face difficulties due to COVID-19 spread. SXSW, a music, arts and tech festival scheduled to take<br />place in March in Austin, Texas, was recently cancelled. The Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida, originally<br />scheduled for late March, was also postponed until 2021.
