The strong-arming of Goldenvoice and its parent company AEG to take reign over a name of a region and businesses who choose to identify with it is disrespectful to small and large business operations, those under their employ and the indigenous people who live within the valley.”
Klausner’s ruling noted that the plaintiffs had asked the court to prevent Live Nation from selling tickets to the New Year’s Eve event, “irrespective of the way that Live Nation promotes the event on .”īut, he added, it was “no surprise” that the tribe had not stopped any “allegedly infringing behaviour” since it was not part of the lawsuit or restraining order itself.Ĭhairman for the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians, Darrell Mike, said in a statement: “As a community and nation who reside in Coachella, California, we are equally thrilled that our outdoor venue, Coachella Crossroads, will be able to continue operation under its given name. The original order led to the event name being shortened from ‘ Coachella Day One 22‘ to ‘ Day One 22‘ to remove any reference to the 20-year-old music festival promoted by Goldenvoice and prevent any potential confusion or correlation between the two events.īut the plaintiffs had subsequently asked to have the order modified, to prevent Live Nation from selling tickets at all, “until the tribe no longer infringes on the Coachella marks in promoting the event.” The event is being held at Coachella Crossroads – a venue owned by the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians in Coachella.īut, due to sovereign immunity, the tribe cannot be named as defendants in the lawsuit.Īs Variety now reports, Judge Klausner made the ruling denying the restraining order and allowing the continuation of ticket sales on Monday.
