If Marvel Cinematic Universe fans get two Avengers films in a row, music lovers get Coachella — and it hits twice each April. That’s right: the legendary Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival doesn’t just roll through the California desert one time, but two, giving us a rare double-feature of sonic spectacle, fashion chaos, and dust-filled euphoria. With Weekend 1 setting the bar sky-high, Weekend 2 promises not only a replay of some headliners but a full suite of fresh guest stars, surprise collaborations, and solo heroics from the likes of Lady Gaga, Green Day, Charli XCX, and more. And the best part? You don’t have to brave the heat or the wind — you can watch it all live via Coachella’s YouTube livestreams.
This is more than a festival — it’s a cinematic universe of music, streamed live worldwide
Coachella’s streaming game is now as sharp as a Nolan film’s IMAX sequence. With stage-by-stage YouTube broadcasts covering the Main Stage, Sahara, Outdoor Theater, Mojave, Gobi, Yuma, and even the Quasar DJ Stage (through Shorts), viewers across the globe get front-row access to the chaos and creativity. And with the performances rebroadcast later in the day, there’s no risk of missing your favorite moment—whether it’s Lady Gaga’s gothic opera of a set or Missy Elliott’s hip-hop mech entrance.
For three years running, over half of the views on Coachella's official channel have come from outside the U.S. — proving that this isn’t just an American desert party, it’s a global cultural event. This year, YouTube Shopping even lets you snag festival merch in real-time. Think of it as Tony Stark’s Stark Expo, but for Coachella tees and enamel pins.
Friday’s lineup is a plot twist-packed prologue to the weekend
Thee Sacred Souls, Marina, Benson Boone, Missy Elliott, and Lady Gaga — all stacked into one day like a Marvel post-credits sequence. Benson Boone, known for his energetic piano flips, returns with a guest-star-worthy momentum. And speaking of guest stars, Sunday’s Post Malone set has everyone speculating if he’s saving his big collaborations with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift for Weekend 2. (Week 1 fans got no special guests — but that only raises the stakes.)
Missy Elliott’s set at 9:00 PM (Friday local time) is a must-watch finish to a day that sees her unleash iconic tracks like Get Ur Freak On and Lose Control — all while looking like a hip-hop Transformer. And then, at 11:10 PM, Lady Gaga returns to the Coachella Stage with a rebroadcast of her explosive Weekend 1 performance. But insiders tease that her Weekend 2 show might include new surprises. After all, Gaga’s performances are as layered and symbolic as a Christopher Nolan script — and we’re all just trying to keep up with the metaphors.
Saturday delivers punk rebellion, pop bravado, and orchestral mixtapes
Green Day isn’t just playing — they’re rewriting the soundtrack of cultural dissent. Their Saturday 9:05 PM set won’t just feature hits like American Idiot and Basket Case; Billie Joe Armstrong is already tweaking lyrics to distance the band from political extremes. It’s punk with a purpose, and it’s coming right after T-Pain’s nostalgia-fueled explosion at 5:25 PM. (Let’s be real: the internet wants T-Pain at next year’s Super Bowl halftime show.)
Charli XCX turns the Main Stage into her own digital carnival at 7:20 PM. Her Brat album live show from Weekend 1 featured guest cameos from Troye Sivan, Billie Eilish, and Lorde — a trio of pop icons dubbed one fan as “The Avengers for gay people.” Whether she repeats the star-studded lineup or not, Charli’s solo energy means she’ll own the stage either way.
And then there’s Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Philharmonic, crashing the Outdoor Theater at 6:25 PM with a genre-smashing set that’s basically Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Music. Classical meets chaos as the orchestra weaves through Beethoven, Beck, LL Cool J, and more — with secret guests planned for Weekend 2. Dudamel called it a mixtape, but it’s more like an audio-artefact from another dimension.
Sunday is the wild card with solo K-pop, king of fails, and post-genre showdowns
Coachella Weekend 2 Sunday is stacked with solo Blackpink power as Lisa and Jennie take separate stages before reuniting on tour later this summer. Lisa’s Sahara Stage set at 7:45 PM is sharp and sleek, while Jennie’s Outdoor Theater show at the same time promises club-ready anthems with a disco twist. Fans of The White Lotus take note: Lisa’s solo success may soon outshine her onscreen persona.
But not all stunts go as planned. D4vd, the Texan bedroom pop star famous for his emotional hits, had a backflip mishap during Weekend 1. He’s back on the Gobi Stage at 5:55 PM and vows to nail it this time. It’s like watching Spider-Man train — cringe-worthy in the moment, but ultimately heroic.
And then there’s Post Malone at 10:25 PM, wrapping up the night with a country-tinged hoedown that some say belongs more at Stagecoach than Coachella. No guest features, though — which only fuels the speculation. Is this the same Posty who’s collaborated with Beyoncé and Dolly Parton? Stay tuned.
How to watch, when to tune in, and why this matters more than ever
The full livestream schedule is on Coachella’s YouTube channel, with performances repeating after their initial run. Set your reminders, but don’t stress if you miss the live time — the desert may be temporary, but the streams are eternal. This isn’t just about music; it’s about cultural moments, community, and creation happening in real-time across time zones.
Like a well-constructed cinematic universe, Coachella Weekend 2 builds on what came before, teases what’s next, and gives every fan a chance to be part of the story. Whether you’re watching Gaga wrestle with her inner demons, Green Day punch through political noise, or Charli XCX summon her (pop) Avengers, one thing’s clear: this is the most dynamic, inclusive, and electrifying festival experience we have — and it’s freely streamed to the world.
So suit up, log in, and let the music (and the dust) take you away. Coachella Weekend 2 isn’t just coming. It’s arriving — live, loud, and unmissable.
