Festival season is back. This month, thousands of music fans will head to the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival to see headliners like Bad Bunny, Blackpink, and Frank Ocean, along with a huge lineup of other artists.
Coachella will see a ton of unforgettable sets, many of which you can stream on Coachella’s YouTube channel. Tickets to the festival are still available, but if you didn’t book a ticket to the desert this year, there’s still a way you can catch some of the live acts at home. This year, Coachella is hosting a livestream both weekends for the 2023 festival on YouTube, and you can watch many of the performers all for free across six stages.
Here’s what to know about tuning into the Coachella livestream for Weekend One and Two (and how you can still score last-minute passes if you hurry). You can check out the complete Coachella livestream schedule now on YouTube to catch when your favorite artists will perform.
How to Watch Coachella Online: Livestream 2023 Performances Weekend 1
Aside from catching festivalgoers’ TikToks or social posts, the only way to livestream Coachella from home is through the Coachella livestream on YouTube this year. YouTube has set up six different livestream channels for the two weekends, which will all stream different artists at the same time, just like you’re really there at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
On Coachella Weekend 1 (April 14-16), you can catch a variety of artists on the livestream.
Coachella’s YouTube channels will go live starting at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and you can even catch replays of some of the sets on Coachella’s YouTube channels through the weekend.
Except for Friday’s schedule, Coachella and YouTube haven’t announced each day’s livestream schedule yet, so check back on Coachella’s site for more information ahead of the weekend.

Can You Watch the Coachella Livestream on TV?
Whether you’ve bookmarked the Coachella livestream on YouTube, or you’re planning to have it on in the background, there are a few ways to get the most out of the stream. Viewers can livestream Coachella at home and cast the sets to their devices, including a smart TV, laptop, or desktop — all through the YouTube app.
If you have a smart TV, like the Amazon Fire TV above, you can simply watch the Coachella livestream for free through the YouTube app on your television. Those with streaming gadgets like say, a Fire TV Stick or your Roku device, can also stream Coachella’s livestream through the YouTube app at home. Just check ahead of time to make sure you can download the YouTube app to use on the streaming device you own.
Can You Watch Coachella 2023 Online Free? How to Watch Coachella Weekend 1
Yes, you can livestream Coachella for free on YouTube, and all you’ll need is a strong WiFi connection to watch some of your favorite artists hit the stage throughout both weekends as they’re performing. And if you miss the performance, some of the sets will get replayed online, too, following their scheduled time slots, so you don’t have to worry about missing a song.
Unlike other music festival livestreams, including last year’s Lollapalooza festival, which was streamed exclusively on Hulu, you won’t need a streaming service subscription to catch the Coachella sets live on your screen.
Coachella Lineup and Set Times: When Do Bad Bunny, Blackpink, Blink-182, and Frank Ocean Perform?
Coachella announced its official set times and schedule for this year’s lineup, including its headliners, just days before the first weekend’s schedule started. The announcement also included a surprise that Blink-182 would perform on Friday on the livestream at 6:45 p.m. PT.
Bad Bunny hits the stage at 11:25 p.m. PT. Blackpink’s performance starts at 9 p.m. PT Saturday, with Frank Ocean playing the Coachella Stage at 10 p.m. PT on Sunday.
If you’re heading to the festival this weekend, you can check on the schedule for each day on Coachella’s website.
Can You Watch Bad Bunny, Blackpink, and Frank Ocean at Coachella Online?
Fans can watch Bad Bunny perform on Coachella’s livestream Friday at 11:25 p.m. PT on YouTube. At the time of this writing, the other headliner livestream times have yet to be announced.
How to Get Last-Minute Coachella Tickets
Even if you haven’t scored Coachella tickets yet, you still have some time to buy last-minute passes to the festival.
Coachella Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 passes are still available to purchase on verified ticket sites like Vivid Seats and Ticketmaster. And it goes without saying, but don’t buy tickets from an unverified site or online marketplace, and stick with only official resellers.
