Coachella livestream expands

Coachella’s 2026 livestream now runs across both festival weekends, with seven stage feeds on YouTube instead of a single main broadcast. (coachella.com) The official stream covers April 10–12 and April 17–19, matching the festival’s two weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Coachella’s site says viewers can watch performances live on YouTube, and the festival homepage lists the same April dates. (coachella.com 1) (coachella.com 2) YouTube’s Coachella channel says the 2026 livestream began April 10 at 4 p.m. Pacific time, and Coachella’s livestream page says all seven stages are streaming live. Google said the Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre and Sahara feeds are available in 4K resolution. (youtube.com) (blog.google) The added stage coverage turns the stream into a closer digital version of the in-person festival, where fans choose between overlapping sets across multiple tents and outdoor stages. Variety’s viewing guide said weekend one alone was spread across seven channels for seven stages. (variety.com) Google said viewers can use multiview to watch up to four stage feeds at once, and Coachella’s site also pushes its app alongside the YouTube stream. Consequence reported that Coachella TV fills gaps between live sets with archival festival footage. (blog.google) (coachella.com) (consequence.net) Coachella has streamed on YouTube for years, but 2026 expands the official pitch from a highlights-style feed to an all-weekend, all-stage viewing setup. Teen Vogue said the festival and YouTube have partnered on livestreams since 2011. (teenvogue.com) That broader remote push arrives in Coachella’s 25th edition. Coachella Valley’s lineup announcement said the 2026 bill includes Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G, Anyma, The xx, The Strokes and Young Thug. (coachellavalley.com) For fans not in Indio, the result is simple: the official Coachella stream now follows the full festival calendar, with more screens, more stage choice and fewer reasons to wait for clips after the fact.
