One of the most anticipated music festivals of the year kicks off in Indio, Calif., on Friday, and luckily for non-festival goers, many of the first weekend’s performances will be available to stream on YouTube.
Sixty-nine artists are already confirmed to live stream their Coachella sets, such as headliners Childish Gambino, Ariana Grande, and Tame Impala. Other artists include Billie Eilish, The 1975, Kacey Musgraves, Blackpink, Janelle Monáe, Mac DeMarco, Maggie Rogers, Pusha T, Lizzo, Kid Cudi, Chvrches, Blood Orange, Four Tet, Little Simz, Weezer, Tierra Whack, Smino, YG, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Khruangbin.
While this will be the ninth year that YouTube will partner with Coachella to exclusively stream the weekend’s performances, it marks the first time that the video service will produce live content and behind-the-scenes footage from the second weekend, too. Like in past years, the streams will be made available through three different Coachella YouTube channels, with streaming times not directly correlating to artists’ set times in order to broadcast overlapping performances.
