Why Coachella Always Announces Its Lineup First — And What Happens When It’s Late
With Tuesday’s flurry of festival lineups — including Boston Calling, Bonnaroo, Sonic Temple Festival, and, finally, Coachella — the 2023 North American festival season formally kicked off, and music fans can expect more announcements to follow. This figurative ringing of the bell is typically reserved for Coachella (and Coachella alone), which usually announces its lineup the first week of January. But when Los Angeles-based concert promoter Goldenvoice didn’t deliver on time — for unexplained reasons — it left some executives wondering what to expect from potential ripple effects throughout the festival circuit. That’s due to Coachella’s contracts and stature in the business. Coachella’s artist contracts come with radius clauses that give the Southern California festiv...

Bonnaroo Announces Make-Up Concert with Phoebe Bridgers, Brittany Howard, Sylvan Esso
For Bonnaroo fans who are all dressed up with no where to go, festival organizers have announced a make-up concert on September 4th with Phoebe Bridgers, Brittany Howard, and Sylvan Esso. The 2021 festival was supposed to start today, September 2nd, and run through Sunday, September 5th, before downpours from Hurrican Ida flooded the farm’s 700 acres. This new event will be held on Saturday at Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, TN, a site with a capacity of around 6,800. Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test taken with 48 hours of admittance is required. Bridgers was added to the roster this year.

Bonnaroo Cancellation Tests New Festival Pandemic-Era Payment Terms
The new agreements require AEG and Live Nation to pay 10% of the artist fee for a festival if the event is canceled 30 to 60 days before the event, either for weather or pandemic-related issues, and 50% of the artist’s fee if an event is canceled less than 30 days in advance. By limiting the event’s liability in case of cancellation, these arrangements are allowing promoters to move ahead with booking shows without having to pay artists’ full costs and are likely to factor into risk evaluation as the pandemic rages on. On Aug. 8, the AEG-promoted Jazz Fest in New Orleans canceled its two weekends planned for Oct. 8-10 and Oct. 15-17 — just one day before the 60-day mark prior to the start of the event, limiting the promoter’s liability to artists. Up...
Bonnaroo Organizers Cancel 2021 Festival Due to Impact of Hurricane Ida
The organizers of Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival have announced the cancellation of their 2021 event due to flooding and waterlogged campgrounds caused by Hurricane Ida.

Bonnaroo 2021 Canceled Due to ‘Waterlogged’ Festival Grounds
You can add Bonnaroo to the list of festivals that have been canceled in 2021, but not for the reason you’d think. On Tuesday afternoon, the Tennessee-based mega-festival revealed that the poor weather of the past few days due to Hurricane Ida have caused the event to be pushed rather than COVID (which has been the downfall of other events). “We are absolutely heartbroken to announce that we must cancel Bonnaroo,” the festival said via Twitter. “While this weekend’s weather looks outstanding, currently Centeroo is waterlogged in many areas.” Continuing, the statement said, “We have done everything in our power to try to keep the show moving forward, but Mother Nature has dealt us a tremendous amount of rain over the past 24 hours, and we have run out of options to try to make the event hap...
