Source: Imeh Akpanudosen / Getty Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the music festival season is most definitely a wash. For 2020, both Coachella and Lollapalooza have been cancelled, though the latter will be hosting a virtual event. Earlier this year, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival had been postponed until October 9 -11 and October 16 – 18, 2020. However, Billboard reports that because of layoffs at its parent company, AEG, Coachella isn’t going down at all this year and hopes to return in 2021. Reportedly, it’s being deliberated whether Coachella comes back as a smaller event in April 2021 or as the major moment we’re used to in October 2021. Frank Ocean and Travis Scott were scheduled headliners. As for Lollapalooza, its organizers issued a statement that the live event ...
The events were already rescheduled from April to October, as plans for a return next year still remain unclear. The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and country music festival Stagecoach will not take place this year due to county and state restrictions.

Coachella is proof that even the mightiest of festival brands can’t fight off the wrath of COVID-19. According to a recent Billboard report, Coachella is no longer viable after extensive staff cuts at AEG Presents, the parent company of the fest’s organizer, Goldenvoice. According to an internal AEG memo obtained by Billboard, AEG laid off 15% of its staffers earlier this week and also implemented widespread pay cuts. The memo also informed its employees that it’s “clear” live events like Coachella will not resume until 2021. “When we are able to reopen, it will take time until we see our fans, partners and sponsors fully return,” said AEG CEO Dan Beckerman in the memo. The fabled Indio music and arts festival was originally supposed to occur over the second and third weekends ...
Back in 2015, Kaskade was the only electronic dance music artist to perform on Coachella‘s main stage. In astonishing fashion, he went on to attract two of the largest crowds in Coachella’s illustrious history, thrusting an EDM flagpole in the peak of mainstream music and marking the genre’s territory in music’s most ubiquitous live arena. Kaskade is now turning back the clock to that monumental moment, as he took to Twitter today to announce a livestream event chronicling the milestone on Twitch. “This is certainly electronic music’s time,” Kaskade told Mashable at the time. “When I saw the aerial shots, my eyeballs popped out and my jaw dropped,” he continued. “It was insane to see it stretched so far ba...
