Music fans rejoice: Coachella 2018 starts on April 13.
The infamous music festival is a must-see for all music lovers — however, not everyone can afford the $429 price tag, not including travel to and accommodation in its Indio, California location. Luckily, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the music festival fun!
How to watch Coachella at home
You’ll be able to catch all of your favorite performers streaming live on Coachella’s YouTube channel exclusively. Even though Coachella is technically two weekends, April 13-15 and then again April 20 - 22, they’re only live streaming the first weekend on YouTube.
If you have a virtual reality headset, the Coachella team announced they’ll have their own VR180 channel that you can virtually attend the festival from, including the ability to create your own festival schedule that’ll automatically switch to the live performances you want to see most throughout the day.
Google also announced that people with a Google Home device will be able to “talk to Coachella” during the festival to get info on schedules, hear backstage interviews, and even play some festival trivia.
Lastly, if you’d rather just listen to the performances and don’t care much about the actual stage performances, check out Sirius XM’s Coachella Radio for all of the live performances you could ever ask for.
Of course, you can also live vicariously through the Snapchat and Instagram stories of the lucky fans, celebs, and other musicians attending the festival themselves.
