After delaying the inevitable, Coachella will be canceled this year.

According to a report in Billboard that looked into the challenges that AEG (the parent company of Coachella promoter Goldenvoice) is facing due to the pandemic, the 125,000-person-per-day festival could make a limited-capacity return in April 2021. Billboard also says that a larger, higher capacity comeback thats more in line with what fans are accustomed to, could return in Oct. 2021.

The festival was originally supposed to take place the second and third weekend of April prior to the pandemic. It was then moved to the second and third weekends of October.

This all falls in line with what other promoters and experts have said about the concert industry: kiss 2020 goodbye, at least on a larger scale.

SPIN has reached out to Goldenvoice for comment on Coachellas status.

The move isnt surprising, but you can now add Coachella to the ongoing list of festivals canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott and Frank Ocean were all slated to headline this years event. It will now have to wait.

You need to be more angry about the state of things instead of just being blas and only getting upset when someone mentions how sick they are of these restrictions.

Somebody should remind the Coachella team that nobody gives a shit about the pandemic anymore. There are literally thousands upon thousands of people gathering all over the world, shopping, hanging out and doing whatever else they want to do.

Put on a big concert, or really any fantastic show, and people will show up.

Time for an explosion of #takemeback posts from basic bitches to flood social media soon.
