How to Watch Coachella 2025?
YouTube is the official livestream partner for Coachella 2025, offering free, global access to every performance. Coverage kicks off each Friday at around 4 PM PT and continues throughout the weekend. Viewers can choose from six separate live channels, each dedicated to a different stage.
This year, YouTube is bringing back its multiview feature, which lets you watch up to four performances simultaneously and select which one you want to hear. Missed a set? Many performances will be replayed overnight and posted as on-demand highlights.
You can watch directly from the Coachella YouTube channel on phones, tablets, TVs, or desktops. No subscription or payment is needed, and there are no regional restrictions.
Weekend One vs. Weekend Two: What’s the Difference?
Both weekends now receive full livestream coverage, but there are key differences:
- Weekend One (April 11–13) is typically when artists debut surprise guests, unreleased tracks, and special production elements
- Weekend Two (April 18–20) may include tweaks to performances or additional guests, offering a more refined version of the first weekend’s buzz
While the lineup remains largely the same, artists occasionally vary their setlists or surprise collaborators. Also, the full Weekend Two schedule usually drops after Weekend One concludes, so fans should stay tuned.
2025 Lineup Highlights
The 2025 lineup is stacked with talent across genres. Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone headline this year’s festival. Gaga returns for redemption and a fully realized set after her 2017 headlining performance, which was pulled together in two weeks after Beyonce canceled due to pregnancy. Green Day makes its Coachella debut, which is suriprisng that the iconic band has never graced the Colorado Desert. Post Malone is a first-time headliner after performing in 2018; he returns to the festival to promote his country album “F-1 Trillion,” and fans are expecting him to bring out collaborators such as 21 Savage and Morgan Wallen. Travis Scott isn’t listed as a traditional headliner on the poster, but he’s very much involved – billed as “Travis Scott Designs the Desert,” he’s contributing a special creative experience to the festival. This could mean an innovative stage design, a curated segment, or another artistic element courtesy of Travis’s vision, adding intrigue to his performance slot.
Other standout acts include:
- Missy Elliott, making her Coachella debut with high-energy classics that we all know and love, such as “Work It” and “Get Ur Freak On”
- The Original Misfits, headlining the Outdoor Theatre on Saturdays and delivering a horror punk experience with bangers like “Dig Up Her Bones” and “Astro Zombies”
- Megan Thee Stallion, known for her crowd-commanding sets and infectious rap hits such as “Savage,” “Mamushi,” and “HISS”
- Charli XCX, bringing brat summer to the Coachella stage for the hardcore party-goers
- Kraftwerk, gracing the stage as innovators and pioneers of electronic music to deliver a must-see performance
- Gustavo Dudamel & the LA Philharmonic, fusing classical and festival culture in a unique crossover
- FKA Twigs, delivering a visual-heavy, choreographed show to bring her album “Eusexua” to life
The undercard is also rich with global talent, from rising Latin trap stars to indie favorites and veteran DJs. Surprise appearances—always a Coachella staple—are likely across both weekends.
