The Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic which was first discovered in China in December, has had sweeping effects in the public health, business, and travel sectors, among others. And while the consequences for the entertainment industry may seem to pale in comparison to the clear threat the virus poses to human life, the ripple effects do have implications for the people around the world who make a living via the entertainment industry.
Goldenvoice, the organizers of Coachella, one of the largest annual music festivals in the US, announced on March 10 that the festival would be postponed due to concerns about the outbreak. Another Goldenvoice festival, the country music-oriented Stagecoach, has also been postponed.
In the home front a lot of music concerts and gatherings have been cancelled and postponed.
TheNewsGuru had reported on Wednesday 18th of March that popular entertainment spot, New African Shrine has suspended all programmes as part of efforts to curb the spread of COVID19.

However, Davido announced the cancellation via his Instagram page
