More Than a Livestream
YouTube and Coachella share a unique ability to bring artists, creators, and fans into one space to create and celebrate culture. They are honored to extend that sold-out festival experience to a global audience by livestreaming the incredible music and special moments to fans everywhere. Whether you’re hosting a watch party or tuning in on the go this year’s Coachella on YouTube experience is more immersive than ever, tailored for however, and wherever, you want to watch.
The Ultimate Festival Upgrade: What’s New & Improved
· 7 Stages: This year they are livestreaming seven stages simultaneously. This includes the Quasar stage in both horizontal and vertical formats, with the vertical feed shot on Pixel.
· 4K Resolution: For the first time, the Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre, and Sahara will livestream in 4K, bringing the sets to life with extraordinary clarity for your big screen.
· Bringing Stations to Coachella: In addition to the festival livestream, fans will have access to “Coachella TV,” a 24/7 interactive and uninterrupted music viewing experience featuring both iconic archival performances and 2026 festival highlights. The station will be updated with performance highlights following each weekend.
