Couch Tour Alert Coachella 2014 Webcast

The 2014 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival once again will be held over consecutive weekends at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, CA. For those who are unable to make it to Southern California, both weekends will be available to watch live so you can turn your living room into Couchella. Like last year, the first weekend, April 11 – 13, will be webcasted on YouTube, but unlike last year, the second weekend, April 18 – 20, will be broadcasted live on AXS TV.

 
KCRW Music Director Jason Bentley will host the live broadcasts and conduct interviews with artists performing at the festival. Both weekends will feature the same lineup of musicians, with OutKast, Muse and Arcade Fire headlining. Both weekends are already sold out, making Couchella your best bet for catching live action at this point.
 
Those planning to attend who have secured tickets can activate their wristbands on the Coachella website. Once activated, attendees can link Facebook and Spotify accounts to their wristbands which can be used to check in at any of the RFID portals throughout the festival grounds.
