Shut Out of Coachella? Watch it Live Online
!!! gets the Coachella webcast off to a sweaty start on the Outdoor Theater stage
Whether you missed out on tickets to Coachella this year, prefer kickin' it by the pool, or just dislike crowds (but love music), you'll be enlightened to know that the festival is comin' atcha live. On three channels, starting now.
Barring any technical difficulties, the Coachella livestream will bring about 60 live performances to your computer or mobile device tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. This promises to be the best Coachella livestream experience to date, with sponsor 5Gum opting for delivery via YouTube's trusty interface after last year keeping the webcast within the walls of its Facebook page. In prior years, AT&T's Blue Room presented passable livestreams from Coachella but never on simultaneously live channels. 5gum, a Wrigley's product, also created a special site this year with tools that allow users to tweak and enhance the experience.
The program schedule is below. Visit youtube.com/coachella to livestream.
