Coachella’s 2026 livestream is running across both festival weekends, with seven stages on YouTube from April 10–12 and April 17–19. (coachella.com) The official stream is hosted on Coachella’s YouTube channel, where the festival says viewers can watch up to four stages at once in multiview on television screens. YouTube’s guide for this year also says the stream is available in 4K and includes live shopping for festival merchandise. (youtube.com) (blog.youtube) That is a broader remote package than the festival’s older model, which often centered on one weekend and more limited stage access. Coachella’s 2026 landing page pushes its app alongside the stream, telling viewers to use it to plan how they watch from home. (coachella.com) On Sunday, April 12, the livestream schedule included Karol G, FKA twigs, Iggy Pop, BIGBANG, Wet Leg, Clipse, The Rapture and Laufey. Consequence reported that FKA twigs returned to the festival after dropping out in 2025 because of visa issues, while Iggy Pop was making his first Coachella appearance since 2003. (consequence.net) The two-weekend stream tracks how Coachella now sells itself as a home-viewing event as well as an in-person one in Indio, California. The festival’s official site says tickets are sold out, while the livestream page promises a “front-row view” for viewers who are not in the desert. (thewrap.com) (coachella.com) Weekend 1 began at 4 p.m. Pacific time on Friday, April 10, according to the official YouTube playlist for the event. Yahoo’s viewing guide said Sunday, April 12 and Sunday, April 19 close the festival with Karol G, Young Thug, BIGBANG, Major Lazer, FKA twigs and Clipse among the featured acts. (youtube.com) (yahoo.com) For viewers, the pitch is simple: more stages, both weekends, and tools built for watching from a couch instead of a polo field. The second round of streams starts Thursday, April 17, and runs through Saturday, April 19. (coachella.com)
