Coachella’s 2020 festival was among the first events impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Event organizers Goldenvoice had initially postponed the event to October 2020 with the hope that live music would be back up and running by then. But as the pandemic worsened, Goldenvoice ultimately canceled Coachella in 2020, and again in Spring 2021. Rather than risk further hiccups this fall, organizers are planning to return in full force come April 2022.
A full lineup announcement is expected in January, and it remains to be seen how many of the acts originally scheduled to play Coachella in 2020 will be found on 2022’s poster. However, if you take much stock into tour routing, Rage Against the Machine’s reunion tour does have a nice Coachella-sized gap carved out of it.
