It looks like we're going to have to wait a little longer to experience Coachella again, Scenestar readers. Coachella 2021 and Stagecoach 2021 will not be taking place in April, as scheduled, according to Riverside County Public Health Officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser. "We look forward to when the events may return," Kaiser said in a tweet last Friday announcing that he had signed the public health order that you can read here. The festival is not actually officially canceled at this time and there are unconfirmed rumors that Coachella 2021 was scheduled to move to October 2021, regardless.

Goldenvoice has yet to officially announce that Coachella 2021 and Stagecoach 2021 are moving once again due to current global coronavirus transmission concerns. One of the biggest and best-known festivals in the U.S. could be moving once again from their originally rescheduled dates: Friday, October 9, to Sunday, October 11, (Weekend 1) and Friday, October 16, to Sunday, October 18, (Weekend 2) to Friday, April 9, to Sunday, April 11, 2021 (Weekend 1) and Friday, April 16, to Sunday, April 18, 2021 (Weekend 2). Stagecoach was to take place from Friday, April 23, to Sunday, April 25, 2021.

No details have been released on whether the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, will still feature performances by headliners—Frank Ocean, Rage Against The Machine, and Travis Scott on both festival weekends in any updated lineup.

End of 2020 Covid-19 Quarantine Spotify Playlist

We almost made it to the end of 2020, Scenestar readers! We hope you're spending New Year's Eve at home or in quarantine somewhere safe so that we can hopefully have some actual concerts in Los Angeles to share with you in the new year. There are plenty of streaming options on the internet tonight and on the radio starting at 8 p.m. (We see you KCRW's Travis Holcombe), but if you choose to have a COVID-19-themed music night at home, we have a Spotify quarantine playlist that we made early this year to get you through.

Thanks to all the venues, promoters, musicians, labels, marketers, public relations people, and especially our followers/readers for hanging in there and waiting to have some cool concerts to look forward to. Until then, we'll see you in 2021, and please let us know what you think (or if you have any tracks we missed on this playlist)!
