Goldenvoice has decided to move the popular festival to October 2020, and reveled a plan for refunds for those who cannot make the new dates.

Following suit after Ultra Miami and SXSW, Cocahella organizers say the festival will now take place over the weekends of Oct. 9 and Oct. 16. The offical statement posted to the Instagram account reads, “At the direction of the County of Riverside and local health authorities, we must sadly confirm the rescheduling of Coachella and Stagecoach due to COVID-19 concerns.”

For those of you who have tickets and are still wanting to go in Oct, you’re good to go. If you can’t make it or just don’t want to go anymore, you’ll get info on how to get your refund this Friday. “All purchases for the April dates will be honored for the rescheduled October dates. Purchasers will be notified by Friday, March 13 on how to obtain a refund if they are unable to attend.”
