All the music festivals & tours impacted by coronavirus:
As coronavirus fears continue to prompt event cancellations and discourage group gatherings throughout the country, the entertainment space has also been forced to take preventative steps in recent weeks. SXSW cancelled their annual festival at the behest of the City of Austin for the first time in their 35-year-run, and on Tuesday, Coachella announced that they will be postponing their festival until October.
Ultra Music Festival Sorry ravers, the Miami EDM music festival was officially cancelled on March 6. The festival faced some backlash for providing benefits instead of refunds in its place, including discount codes for merch and exclusive access to private sales, among others. All ticket purchases will be honored at Ultra 2021 or 2022.
World Tour Bushfire Relief Originally scheduled for March 13, the World Tour Bushfire Relief charity concert was cancelled after headliner Miley Cyrus pulled out of the event"in response to the current global health crisis." The one-night event was intended to raise funds for the WWF Australian Wildlife, the Nature Recovery Fund, and the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal, according to The Guardian.
BonnarooThe Tennessee-based festival, scheduled for June 11-14, is anticipated to happen as planned, as organizers have not announced any changes yet. 2020 was the earliest the festival has ever sold out, likely due to the pop-centric lineup which includes Lizzo, its first woman headliner, Megan Thee Stallion, The 1975 and more.
