Streaming Coachella on YouTube this weekend? Don't miss these sets

We've got the who, what, where, when, how covered - you already know why.

If you don't have the cash/time off work/ability to pause the pandemic and can't make it to Coachella this weekend - you may be keen to stream it on YouTube.

Sure, your living room doesn't much resemble the Californian desert, and that Look Sharp party light you bought for your flat warming 5 years ago isn't really the stage spectacular you'd get at the gig - but at this point, we'll take what we can get.

YouTube is going to live stream the entire three-day-long festival for free, starting at 11 am Saturday morning New Zealand time. How very convenient that we've got Monday off.

So crack out the HDMI cord, get the lappy hooked up to the big screen and maybe chuck a bandana on to get you in the mood.
