1. Coachella might be moved to the fall and people are freaking out

Put your culturally insensitive outfit in storage, because it sounds like Coachella is headed toward a six-month delay. Organizers of the annual music festival, which is currently set to begin on April 10, are in talks to postpone it to October due to coronavirus concerns. One source told Rolling Stone that Austin's South by Southwest being called off "really changed everyone's tune." Tesla founder Elon Musk offered his unsolicited opinion that "Coachella should postpone itself until it stops sucking," while YouTuber James Charles looked on the bright side: "Ok wait, Coachella in October could really be a vibe tho … Enjoying good music in the fall breeze? I'm in."
