The coronavirus has hit the world like a freight train. Ever since the virus and its symptoms have become public knowledge, humankind has been forced indoors. Having already proven a threat to economies, it has also taken over our much-loved sense of freedom. Outdoor activities and gatherings comprising large numbers of people have been prohibited. That would include weddings, parties, theater performances, music concerts, sports and other such events. While the organizers of many live events have managed to hold their respective soirees virtually, it still won’t be the same as a live experience. Following is a list of a few largely popular music festivals that have been canceled or rescheduled.
Lollapalooza
One of Chicago’s largest events, the Lollapalooza has been a constant fixture at Grant Park since 2005. The annually-celebrated event has been canceled this year. Other than Chicago, the festival is also celebrated in various other countries. The Argentinian and Chilean versions have been postponed to the second half of 2020.
Coachella
Coachella is one of the world’s largest events and attracts millions of people from around the world. Generally categorized as an arts festival, this multi-faceted event covers all sorts of art, from genre-defying music to experimental art installations. The festival has been pushed to October 2020.
Stagecoach
Stagecoach is a country music festival organized by the same people in charge of organizing Coachella. The event sees performances by the who’s who of the country music industry and is graced by fans in large numbers. Annually held in the last week of April or the first week of May, the 2020 edition of Stagecoach had to be rescheduled to the month of October for which the lineup of performances and events is already out.
New Orleans’ Jazz & Heritage Festival
If there’s one thing New Orleans would forever be remembered for, that would be jazz. Jazz music has been etched on the cultural pages of the city’s history. Paying homage to this versatile genre of music is the New Orleans’ Jazz & Heritage Festival. Other than musical performances, the festival also comprises events related to other forms of art. Held annually for ten days, it entertains thousands of people from all over the country. The 2020 edition was scheduled to be held from April 23 to May 03 but was called off.
