The mounting impacts of Stagecoach and Coachella cancellations on the local economy
It seems nowadays that major event cancellations have become normal as the country struggles to gain control of the pandemic. On Friday Riverside County Public Health Officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser issued an order cancelling the 2021 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach.
The festivals were scheduled to be held on April 2021.
Both festivals also did not happen last April and were postponed to October. When it became apparent that there was no real solution in fighting off coronavirus at the time, those dates were also canceled. With everything that’s going on we weren’t surprised at all, said L & G Desert Store co-owner, Richard Thomas.

Staff and wire reports We look forward to when the events may return, Kaiser said in a tweet Friday announcing that he had signed the public health order. The order, issued by Riverside County where the festivals are held, is based on concerns about a possible fall resurgence of COVID-19.
Coachella 2020 was initially pushed to October as the coronavirus pandemic swept the globe. A few months later, it was postponed again to April 2021.
No new dates were immediately announced on Friday when the latest cancellation was announced. Los Angeles-based Goldenvoice, which produces the festivals, did not immediately respond to request for comment.
