Springtime is here and it marks the arrival of music festival season, which will kick off this weekend with the 25th edition of Coachella. It used to be that if you weren’t in the Valley to live the experience IRL, all you had to live vicariously were photos of people’s outfits, but thanks to the modern advent of the livestream, you can still enjoy all the performances from your favorite artist from the comfort of your own home. This year, the festival organizers have expanded their offering—not only is it being streamed in 4k, you can even watch artists from up to four different stages simultaneously, and if you’re watching on your phone, there is also a dedicated vertical stream. For those who will actually plan out their weekend around set times, there is even a Coachella app where you can organize your dream weekend, and get notifications on when it’s time to lock in. And because we love to be servicey, here’s a guide to the bands and artists we’ll be keeping our eye on this weekend.
