Coronavirus: Everything That's Been Canceled or Postponed Because of COVID-19


Whether or not you know someone who has tested positive for the coronavirus strain COVID-19, there’s no denying the impact the pandemic is having all over the world. Still, many Americans are wondering exactly how many precautions to take.

Many organizations, music festivals, and awards shows have either been canceled or postponed due to coronavirus concerns. The same goes for movie premieres, as well as production schedules for TV and film. Below, a list of all the major pop-culture entities that have been affected by coronavirus.

A Ton of Concerts

My Chemical Romance, Cher, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Ciara, BTS, Avril Lavigne, Pentatonix, Green Day, and more have begun canceling shows and rescheduling tours. “I AM SO SORRY, BUT YOUR HEALTH IS PARAMOUNT,” Cher tweeted. “CONCERTS R AMAZING FUN, BUT NOTHING IS WORTH YOUR HEALTH.”

If you have tickets to any upcoming shows by performers not mentioned here, we recommend checking the artists’ Twitter and contacting the venue to confirm they’re still happening.

Coachella and Stagecoach

“At the direction of the County of Riverside and local health authorities, we must sadly confirm the rescheduling of Coachella and Stagecoach due to COVID-19 concerns,” reads a statement from Goldenvoice, the production company that runs both festivals. “While this decision comes at a time of universal uncertainty, we take the safety and health of our guests, staff, and community very seriously. We urge everyone to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials.” Coachella will now happen in October.

Coachella Has Been Postponed Because of the Coronavirus


Some news for influencers and flower-crown enthusiasts: Coachella has been postponed until October because of the coronavirus outbreak, the festival announced on Tuesday, March 10. The Stagecoach country music festival has also been pushed back.

“At the direction of the County of Riverside and local health authorities, we must sadly confirm the rescheduling of Coachella and Stagecoach due to COVID-19 concerns,” reads a statement from Goldenvoice, the production company that runs both festivals. “While this decision comes at a time of universal uncertainty, we take the safety and health of our guests, staff and community very seriously. We urge everyone to follow the guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials.”

This was the right move. It’s important people take the necessary precautions to keep themselves safe at this time. And in the great scheme of things, this is just a music festival and not worth endangering the wellbeing of millions.

Coachella will now happen October 9-11 and October 16-18 2020, which means you now have more time to save up and plan if you want to go. What this means for the lineup is still undetermined. Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott, and Frank Ocean were slated to helm the festival.

We’ll keep you posted on this as more updates come in.

Scott Disick Reacts to Coronavirus With Limited-Edition Merchandise


Scott Disick, of Kardashian fame, launched a line of tees and hoodies over the weekend with a phrase we’ve recently turned into a mantra: Please wash your hands. We can’t tell whether this is a moment of genius or an early April Fools’ joke, but only Lord Disick and the Kardashian-Jenners can turn a global health crisis into a brand moment and opportunity to sell merch.

Obviously, the entire family took to Insta to spread the news.

Lord Disick practicing what he preaches.

The collection dropped over the weekend as a way to spread the word you need to take handwashing extra seriously if you haven’t already. If you’re thinking what we’re thinking (“wow, they move fast”), the merch may too. It’s a limited-edition line from the 36-year-old dad’s brand Talentless. Founded in 2018, the brand “is an homage to the new wave of creators, innovators, and influencers who’ve made a name for themselves by going against the conventions of what it means to be ‘Talented.’” Cool.

You can shop two styles—a T-shirt ($49) and a sweatshirt ($129) with an objectively nice-looking font—directly from Disick’s brand’s website. The products are available in black and white, and “seasonal” colors like mustard yellow and navy blue.

Real talk: We’re not one to agree with Lord Disick on most matters, but he is leaning into the CDC’s call for people to wash their hands often, so maybe this hoodie is the reminder we didn’t know we needed. Remember folks: Clean hands save lives.
