As much as many of us would love to attend Coachella, the fact that it is in a different state or country means that it can be pretty expensive to get out there for some. However this doesn’t mean that we have to miss out on the fun, right? Just like previous years, the good news is that 2016’s Coachella will have a live stream.
According to a post on Google Canada’s blog, the live stream will kick off this Friday, the 15th of April, and will be available until the 17th of April. The live stream will be on YouTube and according to the post, “You’ll have the freedom to choose from three live stream channels and a video-on-demand hub to see highlights and performance footage throughout the weekend.”
There will also be an interactive personalized schedule which has been described as, “You can click on the interactive personalized schedule to customize your live viewing experience. The live stream channel will change automatically based on your schedule.” In addition, there will be a social feed and highlight posts where you get to see photos and discussions about the event, making it feel like you’re there in person.
Of course it’s almost impossible to try and replicate the experience of being live at such an event surrounded by thousands of people, but if you can’t make it due to work, school, or simply because it is out of your budget, this should make for a good alternative. In the meantime you should probably bookmark Coachella’s YouTube page and check back this Friday which is when things will be kicking off.
