The same public pressure that caused SXSW to cancel could also call-off Coachella. That’s right, a petition has called for Coachella to be cancelled due to coronavirus.

Will Coachella, the massive music festival set to kick off the weekend of April 10 in the California desert go ahead with the event?

Calls for a shutdown with a petition to call-off Coachella garnered more than 5,500 signatures. So far, SXSW and Ultra Music Festival cancelled. The economic cost of tech events cancelled due to coronavirus has surpassed $1 billion. I’m thinking the economic fallout could be 10x worse much worse than the virus itself.
