Coachella has loosened the reigns on COVID-19 safety even more. In a shocking return to pre-pandemic form, Goldenvoice, the company that produces Coachella, Day N Vegas, Camp Flog Gnaw, and formerly Panorama NYC, has announced that there will now be no protocols in place for the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Not only will attendees not have to present proof of vaccination, but they will also not be required to present a negative COVID test, nor will they be required to wear masks on any part of the festival grounds, indoor or outdoor.
The festival boasts about 250,000 attendees each weekend of performances, installations, and activations, including those who remain on-site at its famed campgrounds.
Coachella’s health and safety guidelines acknowledge that these requirements are subject to change at any time as local rules shift, but as for now, these protocols are in accordance with the state of California’s current COVID rules and mandates.
