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.

The Satellite Will No Longer Be a Music Venue

As you may have heard, The Satellite (Formerly Spaceland) will no longer be operating as a music venue. The iconic Silverlake venue had hosted the Los Angeles debut shows for a lot of artists as well as performances by Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Beck, Editors, Foo Fighters, Le Butcherettes, The Killers, Miike Snow, My Morning Jacket, The Presets, Reggie Watts, The White Stripes; "secret shows" with the likes of The Bravery, Cold War Kids, Death Cab For Cutie, Lady Gaga, Local Natives, Julian Casablancas, etc; and legendary free residency shows featuring The Blood Arm, Silversun Pickups, and Rilo Kiley just to name a few. The club was also featured as the setting for the fictional band Munchausen By Proxy (Led by lead singer Zooey Deschanel) in the 2008 Jim Carrey movie 'Yes Man.' We always liked catching Interpol's Carlos D on the Galaga machine in the early days of Turn On The Bright Lights when the band was always in town. The Satellite was recently known to host great comedy shows which included a monthly residency by Neil Hamburger, club nights, and club shows for local artists.

Owner Jeff Wolfram shared on social media today that they will no longer be a music venue and will be renovated to operate as a bar and a restaurant. Check out their statement below.
