The 20-year-old music festival, one of the
largest in the world, was canceled in 2020 because of the
coronavirus pandemic. Organizers had previously worked to bring
it back in October 2021, according to media reports, but that
plan was scrapped.
The festival brings half a million fans to an open-air site in
Indio, east of Los Angeles, over two weekends. The 2022 dates
are the weekends of April 15-17 and April 22-24, organizer
Goldenvoice, a festival and concert company, said in a
statement. Tickets go on sale on Friday.
Performers for 2022 were not announced. The acts that were
supposed to headline the 2020 lineup included Frank Ocean, Rage
Against the Machine and Travis Scott.
Stagecoach, a country music festival also held in Indio, will
follow Coachella from April 29 to May 1.
Live performances were canceled around the world amid the spread
of COVID-19. They are starting to return in the United States
and other countries where vaccinations have increased and cases
of the disease are on the decline.
