Coachella has won a temporary restraining order against Live Nation in a copyright infringement suit involving a similarly named event.
’s requests for comment.“Day One 22” is being produced by the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians, an indigenous tribe that operates the venue, Coachella Crossroads, which is about five miles from the Empire Polo Grounds where Coachella takes place. Twenty-Nine Palms had previously tried to register a “Coachella Crossroads” trademark for various events, including music, but that was rebuffed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office due to potential confusion with Coachella’s mark.
But since then, Twenty-Nine Palms has promoted musical events at Coachella Crossroads, including a May 2021 concert by Toby Keith. Its “Day One 22” concert is set to take place on New Year’s Eve and will feature performances from Lil Wayne, E-40, Shaquille O’Neal , and Getter. Coachella has accused Twenty-Nine Palms of causing confusion with its original event name and “adopt[ing] elements” of Coachella’s advertising for its promotional material, but the fest’s main gripe is with Live Nation.
Back in October, Coachella sent Live Nation a cease-and-desist letter over “Coachella Day One 22,” and in turn, Live Nation changed the event name on its listing to “Day One 22.” The infringement suit was filed, however, because one ticket option is still called “Coachella Complimentary Offer” and “Coachella Day One 22” still appears in certain advertising material. Another defendant in the case, Bluehost, which hosts the website CoachellaCrossroads.
In issuing the temporary restraining order, Judge Klausner said Coachella and Goldenvoice would likely suffer “irreparable harm” if the event went forward under its original name. He ruled that Live Nation only put forth one argument — that “assertions about Coachella’s incredible success demonstrate that its reputation will not suffer material harm from Twenty-Nine Palms’ ‘one-night New Year’s celebration'” — but called it “uncompelling.
