The 2020 edition of the  Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at which Afrobeat star, Seun Kuti, was expected to perform, has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The cancellation order for the festival, which had earlier been postponed due to concerns over the pandemic, was issued on June Wednesday by the Public health officer of Riverside County, California, United States of America.

Other performances expected at the now-cancelled festival include rock band Rage Against the Machine, Frank Ocean and Travis Scott.

Coachella is one of the biggest in the world, bringing about half a million fans to an open-air site in Indio, east of Los Angeles, over two weekends.
