Coachella weekend is upon us again, and while the festival is distinctly American, its cultural gravitas is felt globally. Over two April weekends each year, celebrities, influencers and music-lovers descend on the Coachella Valley for what has become one of the biggest events in the music industry calendar. It’s a hotbed of fashion, culture and celebrity.
With the 2026 lineup including Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G and Justin Bieber, it’s not one to miss – even if you can’t be there in person. Thankfully, Coachella livestreams the event so you can watch the sets from all your favourite artists from your sofa in Australia. Everything you need to know is below.
How To Stream Coachella Live In Australia
The entire festival streams for free on the official Coachella YouTube channel, with separate channels for each of the seven stages. You don’t need a subscription or login — just head to YouTube and search “Coachella.”
Coachella 2026 runs across two weekends: April 10–12 and April 17–19. Thanks to the 17-hour time difference between PDT and AEST, the daily livestream kicks off at 8:30am AEST on Saturday.
Friday’s highlight is Sabrina Carpenter‘s headline set, which starts at approximately 2:05pm AEST on Saturday morning. Justin Bieber takes the main stage at 4:25pm AEST on Sunday, while Karol G closes out the festival on Monday at 2:55pm AEST.
There are also four Australian acts to watch out for: Ninajirachi, Ecca Vandal, Royel Otis and The Chats all feature across the weekend.
