Overview
No one normally loves spending a weekend on the couch when there's a huge music festival happening, unless you can cure that FOMO by joining in from home. Coachella has been making attending the event without leaving home happen for years via its YouTube livestream, thankfully. And with the Indio, California fest upon us for 2024, it has unveiled its set times for its first weekend so that you know when to tune in.
On the bill: Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator, Doja Cat and the reunited No Doubt as headliners. Coachella's first 2024 run spans across Friday, April 12–Sunday, April 14 in the US, which is Saturday, April 13–Monday, April 15 Down Under. On Saturday in Australia and New Zealand, you'll be making a date with Del Ray. On Sunday, tune in for Tyler, The Creator and No Doubt. And on Monday, you'll be able to see Doja Cat.

Also among the highlights on Saturday in Australia and NZ: Justice, Peso Pluma, Lil Uzi Vert, Sabrina Carpenter, Deftones, Suki Waterhouse, Peggy Gou and Tinashe. The list goes on, of course.
On Sunday Down Under, get excited about Blur, Ice Spice, Jon Batiste, Sublime, Dom Dolla, Vampire Weekend, Grimes, Orbital, Oneohtrix Point Never and RAYE, too — and more, obviously.
And, come Monday for Aussies and New Zealanders, J Balvin, Lil Yachty, Kruangbin, Reneé Rapp, Flight Facilities and DJ Seinfeld are on the bill, plus a heap of others.
Spotted a dreaded set clash? This year, for the first time ever, you'll be able to livestream multiple stages at once. How many? Four in total. Each year, Coachella and YouTube join forces to beam the massive music fest around the world, which is no longer such a novelty in these pandemic-era times — but being able to fill your screen with a quartet of Coachella sets at the same time definitely is.
YouTube's multiview concert experience will enjoy its debut in the music space, and globally, at Coachella. This year, the service will be capturing six different stages, as it did in 2023 for the first time ever — with Sonora on the list for the first weekend and Yuma on the second.

That said, while you can feast your eyes on four stages simultaneously, you'll only be able to hear one, so you will still need to pick a favourite in any given timeslot.
Coachella 2024 returns again from Friday, April 19–Sunday, April 21, which is Saturday, April 20–Monday, April 22 Down Under, if the first weekend's timings don't suit your schedule.
