Within the last week, two major American music festivals—the EDM-centric Ultra Music Festival in Miami and the sprawling industry gathering SXSW in Austin—have been canceled due to public health concerns about the COVID-19 virus. The French festival TomorrowLand was also canceled, and Coachella, the Indio, Calif., standard-bearer for festival culture in the U.S., has been postponed from its usual April date until October.

As concern continues to grow over the worldwide spread of COVID-19, commonly known as coronavirus, many are taking proactive measures to keep themselves safe from the flu-like virus, which can be fatal in the most extreme cases.

This is where the distinction between cancellation and postponement becomes clear: The 2020 Ultra Music Festival, one of the world’s largest dance-music events, was “postponed” last week after city officials expressed concern about the spread of coronavirus.
