Popular Coachella and Stagecoach Festivals Do Away With Mandatory Vaccine Requirement

The widely anticipated Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach Festival have made a surprising announcement that they will no longer require full vaccination to attend their scheduled events in 2022.

Festival attendees now have the option of either providing results of a negative Covid-19 test (taken within 72 hours of the event) or showing proof of full vaccination.

The reversal in vaccination policy contradicts the initial full vaccination policy mandate established by concert giant AEG, the owners of Goldenvoice which is the promoter of both festivals.

AEG initially announced its policy in August, that it would require full proof of vaccination to events from concert goers as well as staff beginning October 1, however, the company has reversed its course after reevaluating the current landscape.

Will this move from such major events set a precedent going forward for other popular festivals or even larger concert arenas and venues?

Stagecoach announced the new policy change via its Twitter account while Coachella released the stunning news by way of an Instagram story.

Thanks for coming along for the ride as we continue to navigate these unprecedented times so that we can get back to having ourselves a good time.

Coachella also posted the new policy on its website, stating :

After seeing first-hand the low transmission data and successful implementation of safety protocols at our festivals recently, alongside the rising vaccination rate of eligible Americans, we feel confident that we can safely update our policy for Coachella that allows for negative covid test taken within 72 hours of the event OR proof of full vaccination.

Coachella and Stagecoach will both take place at Empire Polo Field in Indio, California.

Coachella will run from April 15 -17 and April 22 - 24th while Stagecoach will take place shortly thereafter from April 29 -May 1.
