Coachella 2023 will livestream every stage on YouTube across six separate feeds for the double weekend extravaganza. The content will be double of what was shown last year, ensuring that music fans around the world can turn on and tune in to the 2023 event.
As previously reported by TheatreArtLife, the lineup this year is already a historic one, whereby none of the headliners are white, and includes Bad Bunny who will be the festival’s first Latin artist headliner, the Korean girl group BLACKPINK, and Frank Ocean who will also be making headlining history.
