Coachella lawsuit over “restrictive radius booking clause” moving ahead
Coachella’s radius clause is moving ahead, after the decision to dismiss it was reversed it earlier this year.Festival organisers Goldenvoice previously restricted artists booked for the California event from performing at any festival in North America between December 15 to May, or from playing any “hard ticket” concerts in the Southern California region in the same timeframe.However, the organisers of Soul’d Out Music Festival claim the promoters extended the radius clause from Southern California to include all of California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and more.The festival’s founders Nicholas Harris and Haytham Abdulhadi filed a lawsuit against Goldenvoice, AEG and Coachella in 2018, but it was partially dismissed in October
