Coachella 2012 First Weekend: Saturday Live Stream Schedule
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif, is consistently considered one of the best festival-going experiences available annually in the United States — but thanks to the magic of a little invention called the Internet, you don’t actually have to attend it to enjoy the live music. Like its predecessors, Coachella 2012 has an immense lineup that few others rival, and this year marks the first time it’s taking places over two three-day weekends. In other words: double your pleasure, double your fun.
We’re not saying watching these bands hit the Coachella stages from the comfort of your own home matches the experience of actually attending, but it’s the next best thing. Numerous cameras catching the action on three stages simultaneously matched with a packed webcast schedule assures there’s always something killer to watch — from the moment James kicked things off on Friday afternoon through Florence + the Machine‘s closing set on Sunday night.
Saturday is no exception, with everyone from Britpop acts like Kaiser Chiefs and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds to indie all-stars the Shins and Bon Iver scheduled to rock the day away. But don’t take our word for it — peruse the schedule below and you’ll see exactly what we mean. Not every Coachella performance will be streaming, and there certainly are a few notable holdouts. But if you can’t find enough good music on this schedule, then you probably shouldn’t be looking to attend Coachella in the first place. If you do find good music, watch it on the live stream here.
