Coachella: Experience Coachella's Magic Live on YouTube from Home

The first weekend of the Coachella music festival lasted from 12-14 April. Perhaps the most talked-about performance was the duet between Lana Del Rey and Billie Eilish during the former's concert. The stars performed their debut singles together: "Video Games" and "Ocean Eyes", captivating millennials and Generation Z fans around the globe.

The Coachella Festival, near Los Angeles, is celebrated for the presence of the biggest stars among its audience. Last weekend, amongst others, celebrities like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted enjoying the festival vibes in the desert. However, to experience Coachella's performances, there's no need to fly to California or spend over £400 for a festival weekend ticket. Just turn on YouTube.

The live stream of the second weekend of Coachella on YouTube begins at midnight GMT on 20 April. Performances from all six stages of the festival are broadcast. This year, YouTube has also introduced the option to split the screen, enabling viewers with a high attention span to follow up to four stages simultaneously.

On 20 April, performers like Lana Del Rey, Sabrina Carpenter, and Ateez will take the stage. On the night of 21 April, you can watch performances by Tyler, the Creator, No Doubt, Ice Spice, Le Sserafim, and many others. Sunday's headliner is Doja Cat, accompanied by Reneé Rapp and a collaboration between Diplo and Mau P.

The broadcast on YouTube, a staple for over twelve years, almost rivals the festival's iconography. It even has an unofficial name - "Coachella" (a play on the word "couch"). "Coachella" aficionados know they don’t have to spend thousands of pounds, inhale desert dust by the kilo, trek kilometres between stages, or even leave their homes to enjoy live performances from the world’s most prominent music stars.
