Festivalgoers have taken to social media to report that Coachella‘s Do LaB stage has been closed after a speaker reportedly fell and injured an attendee.
This year’s edition of the festival is back at its usual spot in the desert in Indio, California, having kicked off its first weekend last night (April 10), with more than 100 acts set to perform across eight stages over the coming days.
Highly anticipated by fans, the Do LaB stage is widely considered a “festival within a festival”, given its artists aren’t listed on the main Coachella poster. Having been a fixture at the festival for over two decades, each year typically sees a few surprise guests play, previously including the likes of DJ Snake and Billie Eilish.
However, the site was closed last night (April 10) after an alleged incident involving a speaker, leaving the fate of the rest of this weekend’s performances up in the air.
In a video shared to X, a festival worker can be seen standing beside the taped-off stage, explaining that “a speaker fell and injured somebody, so we had to close”. With no official statement on the matter having come from the festival yet, fans have taken to the Coachella subreddit to share updates.
