Following the success of last year’s inaugural comprehensive livestream of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the festival and YouTube have announced that they are once again partnering up to offer complete event coverage, beginning this Friday, April 12th at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET.
While this is the second year in a row Coachella will be livestreaming all of its six stages, YouTube will be introducing some new features for the viewing audience at home. For the first time, YouTube will offer its multiview feature for the music festival, allowing viewers to watch live streams from up to four different stages simultaneously while selecting which feed’s audio to listen in on.

Coachella says it will be streaming editorial content from artists in between sets, as well as constant live coverage from the festival grounds. Additionally, after the final performance concludes each night, Coachella will repeat the stream until it returns live the next day, for those who were unable to view each performance live. Performance highlights will be available via the Coachella YouTube channel.
Coachella runs for two weekends, from April 12-14, and again April 19-21.
