The hip people behind Coachella announced this week the bands on the massive bill from this weekend’s festival that will have live-streaming performances on Youtube. The exact times on when you catch the specific sets is still coming, but it will be on three different channels to allow for the most on the three days of web fun. Here are the choice alt bands you can catch along with big name rappers, pop stars, and talked-about DJs.
Readiohead: Their Lolla headline set was truly magic, where every song felt like it’s own movie. It will be worth it to stay up late with the coastal time difference to catch their Coachella closing set this weekend
Warpaint: who will be at our own PIQNIQ on May 20th at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater, get tickets 101wkqx.com/piqniq
Capital Cities: This dance driven crew of cool dudes has delivered the goods live so many times. They had a stand out set at PIQNIQ in 2013, they killed it at our No Dough Show a few months back, and now they will remind you to sell your bed and not your stereo from California wine country.
