With little more than a week remaining before the first weekend of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2017, festival organizers have announced that they plan to once again stream some of the festival’s performances bodes well for those who cannot attend. From the comfort of their couches or bedrooms, fans unable to break the bank or make the drive can tune in on the Coachella YouTube channel to livestream 51 of the artists listed on the lineup.

Santa Monica NPR member radio station KCRW’s Jason Bentley and Francesca Fiorentini return to host these webcasts again. Among these 51 include The xx, Steve Angello, Bonobo, Big Gigantic, Autograf, Gryffin, Kaytranada, and Classixx, as well as the main headliners Radiohead, Lady Gaga, and Kendrick Lamar. Additionally, the techno-heavy Yuma Tent, which last year got a VR promo video, will now be featured in the live stream webcast.
