Coachella returns big names

Coachella’s second weekend opened Friday, April 17, with the same top-billed acts returning to Indio and a full YouTube stream running alongside the festival. (usatoday.com) The festival is scheduled across two weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California: April 10-12 and April 17-19, 2026. Time Out’s lineup guide lists Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G and Anyma as the headliners for this year’s edition. (timeout.com) Weekend 2 began with Friday sets and continues through Sunday, April 19, with stage-by-stage set times published ahead of the opening day. USA Today said the second weekend followed viral moments from the first round of performances. (usatoday.com) Coachella’s at-home audience now gets more than a single highlight feed. The festival’s official livestream page says seven stages are streaming live on YouTube on both weekends, covering April 10-12 and April 17-19. (coachella.com) The official Coachella YouTube channel said Weekend 2 streams started Friday, April 17, and its playlist listed the live channels as scheduled for 4 p.m. Pacific time. The channel also pointed viewers to a livestream app that builds a personalized schedule in the viewer’s own time zone. (youtube.com 1) (youtube.com 2) Variety described the home-viewing setup as seven channels for seven stages, a format that lets viewers follow overlapping sets instead of waiting for a recap package. Time Out separately published a full Weekend 2 streaming and set-time guide for people watching remotely or attending in person. (variety.com) (timeout.com) That matters at Coachella because the festival runs many acts at once across the Main Stage, Outdoor Theatre, Sahara, Mojave, Gobi, Yuma and Quasar. A multi-channel stream turns the event into something closer to live channel-surfing than a single concert broadcast. (coachella.com) The second weekend also functions as a do-over for fans who missed the first one and for artists whose earlier sets drove online clips and guest speculation. USA Today’s live coverage said attention around Weekend 2 centered on whether headline performances and surprise appearances would repeat, change or grow. (usatoday.com) By Saturday, April 18, Coachella’s official channels were still pushing the live feeds and replays, keeping the second weekend moving in real time for desert crowds and home viewers at once.
