A Techno Marching Band Might Be the Most Unique Thing You See at Coachella 2022
Coachella annually touts one of the most diverse lineups of any major music festival, but this year they’ve gone all out by booking a techno marching band by the name of MEUTE. Off of concept alone, MEUTE might be the most interesting act to perform at Coachella this year. “When you tell people that we are a techno marching band, people already get some pictures in their head,” Meute’s founder and trumpet player Thomas Burhorn told Variety. “And then when they see what we do and hear what we do, they can realize… that it is even deeper than what they might have imagined.” The 11-man unit hails from Germany, where techno has long been a staple of the country’s fabled nightlife sector. They’ve taken what has long been solely considered electron...

Coachella 2021 Cancelled Following Emergency Public Health Order
Today, Riverside County’s public health officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser signed an order that has effectively cancelled both Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach Music Festival, which were scheduled to take place in April 2021.

In March of last year, organizers pushed the dates out to October, but continual restrictions around major events ultimately forced them to delay the event again until April 2021. Despite having their 2021 dates set since the summer of last year, public health restrictions have largely remained constant since then. Dr. Kaiser’s office released the news of the order to cancel the fe...
