There’s a new report that says Coachella will no longer require proof of a COVID-19 vaccination for entry into the popular California music festival. Organizers made the announcement on its website. Instead of needing proof of a COVID-19 vaccine, music goers will be asked to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken at least 72 hours prior to arrival. Here’s what you need to know.
“After seeing first-hand the low transmission data and successful implementation of safety protocols at our festivals recently … we feel confident that we can safely update our policy for Coachella,” organizers said on Coachella’s official site.

Meanwhile, reports say that Coachella 2022 will kick off during the weekend of April 15 to 17, 2022 and again during April 22-24.
“See you in the desert,” the festival announced on Twitter, adding, “Coachella returns April 15-17 & 22-24, 2022. Register now to access the 2022 advance sale beginning Friday, June 4 at 10am PT.”
If that weren’t enough, festival founder and Goldenvoice president and chief executive Paul Tolletttold Billboard in a statement, “We look forward to being in the desert next April with all of our friends.”
After the April 2020 festival was postponed to October of that year, it was canceled out of concern the hundreds of thousands of attendees would further spread Covid-19. It was also scheduled for April of this year before getting canceled again.
Coachella 2020 was originally slated to feature Frank Ocean, Rage Against the Machine, and Travis Scott with a lineup that also included Lana Del Rey, Lil Uzi Vert, Thom Yorke, Run the Jewels, Danny Elfman, FKA twigs, DaBaby, 21 Savage, Caribou, Lil Nas X, and more.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert. It was co-founded by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen in 1999, and is organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of AEG Presents.
