Coachella Announces 2022 Festival Dates; Registration For Tickets Starts Friday

INDIO (CBSLA) — Coachella is coming back.

Goldenvoice announced 2022 dates Tuesday for both Coachella and the Stagecoach Music Festival, which had to remain dark for 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Registration for tickets start this Friday.

Coachella spans two weekends, and in 2022, those weekends will be April 15-17 and April 22-24. The Stagecoach Music Festival will follow on April 29-May 1.

When the pandemic struck, Coachella tried to postpone into October in the hopes that COVID cases would abate in the fall. A summer surge scrapped that plan, so Coachella again tried to schedule 2021 dates. But that was scuttled by a major winter surge in infections, hospitalizations and deaths throughout the country, hitting California especially hard.

But cases are at an all-time pandemic low with more than half of Californians have received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine. With amusement parks, baseball stadiums, bars and gyms opening up, a large music festival such as Coachella can likely happen in 2022. To register or buy tickets, visit coachella.com.
