How to watch Coachella 2022 online? Livestream details and all you need to know

The Coachella arts and music festival will commence on April 15, and clearly, not everyone interested can make it to the Indio venue in California. However, there is a respite for those who wish to watch the performances live. Streaming and video platform YouTube, for the tenth year, will stream the festival live through dedicated streams and anybody with an internet connection can access them for free.

Fans can stream from any device, including desktops, mobiles, or the YouTube Music app. The festival will take place on the back-to-back weekends of April 15 to 17 as well as April 22 to 24.

You are not required to have a YouTube account to access the livestream. However, those getting a subscription to YouTube Premium from April 15 to April 25 will get three months of free YouTube Premium instead of the standard one-month offer.

Viewers with YouTube Premium will also be able to access six exclusive pre-parties across the two festival weekends, taking them behind the scenes as artists prepare to perform.
