A Michigan animal welfare charity that cares for more than 2,500 homeless animals a year has been forced to rename its upcoming fundraiser after receiving a legal warning from the organisers of the Coachella music festival, according to Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit.
The shelter said its planned 'Pawchella' event in Dearborn will still go ahead on 13 June 2026, but under a different name following a cease-and-desist letter over trademark concerns.
