Money Talks: Coachella and Stagecoach Have Changed Their Minds, Will No Longer Require Attendees To Be Vaccinated

In August, music festivals Coachella and Stagecoach issued a statement that all of their attendees must be vaccinated against COVID-19 for entry.

Yesterday, they reversed that decision.

According to a statement on Coachella’s website, the music festival said, “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 a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours of the event OR proof of full vaccination.”

Festival organizer Goldenvoice also made the announcement via Twitter from the Stagecoach Festival’s profile:

Gee, I wonder why this happened…!?

Oh yea, ticket sales were down 50%.

It was *not* because of any other “safety protocols”… LOL.

Has anyone let Governor Gavin Newsom know about this yet? —Or does he not care because it ultimately brings money to California/him.

MONEY TALKS. Remember this.
