Coachella has posted its Weekend 2 livestream schedule, putting seven festival stages online from Friday, April 17, through Sunday, April 19. (coachella.com) The official stream starts at 4 p.m. Pacific time on Friday, April 17, and runs on Coachella’s YouTube channel alongside a separate Coachella TV feed. Coachella says the Main Stage, Outdoor Theatre, and Sahara streams are again available in 4K. (youtube.com) (beatportal.com) BrooklynVegan’s rundown of the posted schedule lists Weekend 2 stream acts including Nine Inch Noize, Turnstile, Clipse, Iggy Pop, The xx, The Strokes, FKA twigs, David Byrne, Lykke Li, Geese, and Joyce Manor. Pitchfork separately reported that Weekend 2 set times were released for the Indio festival on April 17-19. (brooklynvegan.com) (yahoo.com) The stream schedule turns Coachella’s second weekend into a watch-at-home event as well as an in-person festival. Coachella’s livestream page says viewers can move among seven live stage feeds instead of relying on a single edited broadcast. (coachella.com) That matters in the second weekend because set times shift after the opening run. The official schedule page and multiple reports say Weekend 2 includes lineup changes, including Kacey Musgraves joining Saturday’s bill and DJ Rezz canceling her appearance. (coachella.com) (dailynews.com) YouTube’s playlist for Weekend 2 shows separate live feeds for Main Stage, Outdoor Theatre, Sahara, Mojave, Gobi, Yuma, and Quasar, plus daily Quasar Shorts streams. The same playlist says all seven stage feeds are scheduled to go live at 4 p.m. Pacific time on April 17. (youtube.com) Beatportal reported that Coachella TV is carrying archive performances, documentaries, interviews, and backstage footage from the festival’s 25-year history between live sets. Coachella’s documentary hub also points viewers to “Coachella: 20 Years in the Desert” on YouTube. (beatportal.com) (coachella.com) For viewers planning around specific artists, the practical change is simple: Weekend 2 now has posted set times and posted stream windows before gates open on Friday. That gives home viewers the same kind of timetable festivalgoers use in Indio. (brooklynvegan.com) (coachella.com)
