cancellation

“We have determined with the current surge in COVID cases -- made worse by the Delta variant -- that this is the right decision for our fans and crew members' safety, as well as our own.“

”This is not the future that any of us hoped to confront, but our main focus remains the well-being of our fans, staff, artists, desert partners and everyone involved in the festival,” Coachella writes.

Devin Townsend, Bob Weir & Wolf Bros, Fennesz, and Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs are also among the bands that have cancelled or postponed shows and tours amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Public Practice played, but Gang of Four never showed up at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Monday night.

The rapper was recently added to the fest to replace Cardi B who cancelled in advance.
