Weekend 1 saw a ton of unforgettable sets, many of which you can still stream on Coachella’s YouTube channel. Weekend 2 passes to the festival are still available, but if you didn’t book a ticket to the desert this year, there’s still a way you can catch some of the live acts at home. This year, Coachella hosted a livestream for this year’s festival on YouTube, and you can watch many of the second weekend’s performers all for free.

Here’s what to know about tuning into the Coachella livestream for Weekend 2 (and how you can still score last-minute passes if you hurry).

How to Watch Coachella Online: Live Stream 2022 Performances Weekend 2

Aside from catching festivalgoers’ TikToks or social posts, the only way to livestream Coachella from home is through the Coachella livestream on YouTube this year. YouTube set up three different livestream channels for the two weekends, which will all stream different artists at the same time, just like you’re really there at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.

On Coachella Weekend 2 (April 22-24), you can catch a variety of artists on the livestream, including Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, and the Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia.

Coachella’s YouTube channels will go live starting at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and you can even catch replays of some of the sets on Coachella’s YouTube channels through the weekend.

YouTube announced that Weekend 2’s livestream, called “Coachella Curated,” will go beyond the livestream to include exclusive content from the different artists on the lineup, along with artist interview, exclusive behind-the-scenes documentaries, and even virtual pre-parties throughout on YouTube Premium. You’ll also get the chance to buy merch from Billie Eilish to Brockhampton over the weekend. The bottom line: You wouldn’t get this kind of experience anywhere but home.

Can You Watch Coachella 2022 Online Free? How to Watch Coachella Weekend 2

Yes, you can livestream Coachella for free on YouTube, and all you’ll need is a strong WiFi connection to watch some of your favorite artists hit the stage throughout Weekend 2 as they’re performing.
