The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival kicks off today and runs through April 17 near Palm Springs, California, but even if you reside in Nowheresville, Nebraska, you can still catch all the action -- on YouTube.
Starting at 4:00 p.m. PT, you can park yourself at your computer and take in sets by The Drums, Cee-lo Green, !!!, Warpaint and my current favorite, YACHT.
YouTube has streams for each day of the fest, with channels featuring different acts playing simultaneously. My recommended acts for Friday are: Titus Andronicus, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and, as I said, YACHT.
The video-sharing site has the whole lineup of streamed shows on a special, dedicated page, which also includes a ton of related content that you can watch right now.
YouTube has streamed concerts and events in the past, and more and more music lovers are becoming privy to live shows they would have otherwise missed. Vevo also recently announced that it will be live streaming Bonnaroo in June.
