Coachella Nixes COVID-19 Requirements for Masks and Proof of Vaccination

This year’s Coachella will not require attendees to wear masks or provide proof of vaccination for COVID-19. The event issued a statement on its website saying in part, “There is no guarantee, express or implied, that those attending the festival will not be exposed to Covid-19.” The music event industries have been hit particularly hard by COVID-19. Coachella’s recent decision could represent the global trend for other events and promoters.

Holding the honor of being on the best electronic events in Southern California, CRSSD Festival made its triumphant return since early 2020. Attendees of the spring 2020 edition of CRSSD may not have realized at the time that they would be attending one of the last major events to occur before the pandemic shut the live event industry down. Safe to say, the fan-favorite electronic music festival came roaring back for its fall edition this year.

Support Nightlife in Los Angeles: Sign Petition To Extend Last Call to 4am

As we reported a couple of months ago, California could soon be passing legislation allowing each individual municipality to decide when their legal alcohol last call is.

Currently, the entire State is operating under law that prohibit any alcohol sales past 2am, a law that has curbed the expansion of nightlife in big cities the likes of Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego. Soon that could change, but the first step is for the power to be given to local municipalities to make that choice.

A petition, which you can SIGN HERE, has now been launched to rally support behind Senate Bill 384:

SB 384 would allow – but not require – local governments to allow bars and nightclubs to serve alcohol past 2 am and up to 4 am. Also known as the LOCAL Act (Let Our Communities Adjust Late Night), SB 384 is moving through the State Assembly and we need your help to get it across the finish line.

Authored by Senator Scott Wiener (SD11), SB 384 was passed by the California State Senate, and now must be voted on in the Assembly in late August or early September.

SB 384 simply allows cities to opt in: pure local control. This optional tool for local control over nightlife will increase tax revenue and tourism, revitalize business districts, and support nightlife culture in our cities.
