How to Live-Stream All of the Best Acts at Coachella This Year
Coachella returns to the southern California desert April 13 through April 22, giving anyone willing to spend $399 on basic admission tickets the opportunity to watch headliners like Beyoncé and The Weeknd among an ocean of sweaty bodies. But if you prefer to avoid the crush of human sinew and the always stifling heat, you can live-stream around 100 of the festival's best acts instead of attending IRL.
Watching is actually super easy and, best of all, completely free. Here's everything you need to know about live-streaming Coachella.
Where to watch Coachella
The only answer is YouTube. Coachella has an exclusive deal with the streaming giant (and its own channel), on which it'll stream around 100 acts, including the heaviest hitters like Beyoncé, The Weeknd, Eminem, SZA, Migos, St. Vincent, and David Byrne.
There are four different channels, all of which are streaming different artists. One is a VR channel, so get your goggles ready.
