Various music news sites/blogs are reporting that this year’s Coachella festival in Indio, CA is being postponed until the fall due to the ongoing concerns over Coronavirus.

Initially scheduled for April 10 – 12 and April 17 – 19, the gathering is now reportedly happening October 9 – 11 and Oct. 16 – 18.

Here’s more info from one source, Festive Owl:

I can now CONFIRM #Coachella WILL be postponed until October 9th and 16th due to #coronavirus concerns.

Lineup will attempt to remain the same, but moving a festival this size isn’t easy.

They are currently working with artists and an official announcement is in the works.

Billboard notes:

Officials with promoter Goldenvoice are working on a plan to try and move the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California, to the weekends of Oct. 9 and Oct. 16 in an attempt to save the event from cancellation amid concerns about the coronavirus outbreak, according to high level sources.

Coachella themselves have not released a statement regarding the issue.
