Primavera Sound Los Angeles is Moving to 2022

One of this year's most anticipated music festivals is moving once again! Primavera Sound was scheduled to kick off the inaugural edition of Primavera Sound L.A. at Los Angeles State Historic Park on Saturday, September 19, 2020, to Sunday, September 20, 2020 but because of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the music festival moved to Saturday, September 18, 2021, to Sunday, September 19, 2021. Now Primavera Sound is expanding to three days from Friday, September 16, 2022, to Sunday, September 18, 2022. No festival lineup has been revealed at press time, but Nine Inch Nails was scheduled to perform at the festival.

New Order & Pet Shop Boys Postponed to 2022

It looks like we're going to have to wait a little longer to experience New Order and iconic electronic British band, Pet Shop Boys live in Hollywood. "The Unity" Tour at the Hollywood Bowl was originally rescheduled for Friday, October 15, and Saturday, October 16, but now both bands will now be rocking the iconic outdoor venue next year on Friday, October 7, 2022, and Saturday, October 8, 2022. DJ Paul Oakenfold has been added as the opener to both shows.

My Chemical Romance Move Their Tour to 2022

It looks like My Chemical Romance won't be performing in 2021 after all, Scenestar readers. My Chemical Romance just announced that they'll be postponing this year's arena shows and moving their performances at The Forum to Tuesday, October 11; Wednesday, October 12; Friday, October 14; and Saturday, October 15, 2022.

The Strokes to Play at the Forum In October

We're getting closer to live concerts at our favorite venues, but now farther away from seeing The Strokes live in Los Angeles. The band will now be performing in support of their latest release The New Abnormal on Wednesday, October 27, at The Forum with Alvvays and King Princess still opening the show. The show was going to take place on Saturday, May 15, after a series of previous postponements last year due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

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.
