During the first weekend of the festival, which runs from April 15 to 17we can select between three feeds that will have different performances, with broadcasts that start at 1:00 p.m. from Friday to Saturday, lasting until Monday night. They will include artist interviews and replays as well. During the second weekend, from 22 to 24YouTube will feature the Coachella Curated experience, including encore performances, mini documentaries, artist commentary and more.
On the other hand, the platform has also promised that this year the Coachella will have some new elements to improve the online experience: for the first time the Live Chat for broadcasts, with which fans will be able to communicate during performances and intermissions; will be provided real time updates about the schedule through pinned chats; some creators will publish festival shortsand there will even be exclusive merchandising releases.
