This year's Coachella festival has been cancelled.
Organisers of the legendary music festival broke the news earlier this morning.
After postponing the event twice, they have now confirmed that this year's event will not go ahead due to the pandemic.
The annual event was due to take place in southern California over two weekends in April but the region's public health officer Dr Cameron Kaiser says it will not go ahead.
He went on to explain; "If COVID-19 were detected at these festivals, the scope and number of attendees and the nature of the venue would make it infeasible, if not impossible, to track those who may be placed at risk."
Travis Scott, Frank Ocean and Rage Against the Machine were originally scheduled to headline last year.
