An article from "Variety" (https://variety.com/2020/music/festivals/coronavirus-ultra-sxsw-coachella-cancel-insurance-city-1203525667/ https://variety.com/2020/music/festivals/coronavirus-ultra-s...) covers exactly this and agrees:

In the above, "he" refers to an "entertainment manager" at an insurance company. Doesn't sound like firsthand knowledge, but it's still a very educated guess.
