With Coachella fast approaching, what can you do if you don’t have a ticket? Thankfully, here’s all the information on how to watch Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK, Frank Ocean, and more from home.

Coachella Watch Party? Coachella Watch Party! Not everyone can pack their bags and head to Indio, California, to catch the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Thankfully, you can watch it at home, on the go, or at a friend’s house. You don’t even have to pay someone to go on Instagram/TikTok Live while they’re amongst the 125,000 other fans. All you have to do is enjoy YouTube’s official coverage by tuning into Coachella’s YouTube Channel. That way, you can catch Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK, Frank Ocean, Flo Milli, GloRilla, Latto, Wet Leg, Idris Elba (really!), The Linda Lindas, SCOWL, Domi & JD Beck, and every single other artist play.

For the first time, YouTube will be live-streaming Coachella from ALL stages with six (6) feeds across both weekends. Just go to Coachella’s YouTube Channel, pick a stage, and watch the performances happening live. In between sets, live stream viewers will be treated to on-the-ground coverage of the art, artists, installations, behind-the-scenes Shorts moments, and more, capturing the Coachella experience – all without the sleep deprivation, Influencer(TM) interaction, and questionably priced amenities.

The YouTube coverage — sponsored by Fast X, Verizon, and NYX Professional Makeup in the U.S. and Levi Strauss and Co. across much of Europe — gets rolling at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET on Friday, Apr. 14, and runs through Sunday night, Apr. 16. Weekend two begins on Apr. 21 at the same time, with Tic Tac® and Dove Shower Collection as sponsors in the U.S. and Levi Strauss and Co. sponsoring the European live stream. Tune in reminders can be set now!
