Only select bands will be aired live on YouTube, beginning 6:30 p.m. ET on April 15\. While the site has yet to confirm the performances it intends to stream, viewers tuning in from home will be able to choose from [three live channels](http://googlecanada.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/cure-festival-fomo-and-watch-coachella.html "undefined"). Friday and Saturday’s [lineup](https://www.coachella.com/lineup/ "undefined") includes LCD Soundsytem, Guns N’ Roses, Calvin Harris and Major Lazer. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4295786/coachella-2016-watch-online/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4295786/coachella-2016-watch-online/"},"headline":"Here’s Where You Can Watch Coachella 2016 Shows Online for Free","datePublished":"2016-04-15T14:42:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T16:47:16.340Z","description":"Coachella and chill this weekend","url":"https://time.com/4295786/coachella-2016-watch-online/","keywords":["Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc7b087ac57b451a7/69888f4e428a9e7133cd23e9/coachella-livestream.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tara John","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tara-john/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc7b087ac57b451a7/69888f4e428a9e7133cd23e9/coachella-livestream.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Music fans attend day 3 of the 2015 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival (Weekend 1) at the Empire Polo Club on April 12, 2015 in Indio, California.","caption":"Music fans attend day 3 of the 2015 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival (Weekend 1) at the Empire Polo Club on April 12, 2015 in Indio, California.","creditText":"Jason Kempin—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4295786/coachella-2016-watch-online/","name":"Here’s Where You Can Watch Coachella 2016 Shows Online for Free"}}]}] ```
