AEG CEO Dan Beckerman has reportedly sent a note to employees stating that live events with fans are unlikely to happen any time soon and won't resume until sometime in 2021.

AceShowbiz - Coachella is not happening at all in 2020, according to a note to employees from AEG CEO Dan Beckerman.

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which was scheduled to take place over two weekends in April 2020, was previously postponed until October and set to be held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio.

However, as events continued to be cancelled or delayed, the 2020 installment of the annual gathering has been called off altogether, with Beckerman revealing, "It is clear now that live events with fans will not resume for many months and likely not until sometime in 2021."

Alongside the note, obtained by Billboard, editors noted it's "also unlikely rescheduled events will take place this year... Officials with Goldenvoice are still trying to determine whether the two-weekend, 125,000-person-per-day festival will make a limited-capacity return in April 2021 or a larger, higher capacity comeback in October 2021."

The report also noted that “about 40 per cent” of ticket buyers requested refunds for this year’s festival.

"AEG officials think they could probably pull off the festival in April at 60 per cent capacity, but are holding off on making a final rescheduling decision until there is more clarity on the pandemic's overall trajectory," they added.

Travis Scott (II), Frank Ocean and Rage Against the Machine had been tapped to headline the event.
