Two weekends. Seven stages. One global celebration of music and art. YouTube’s exclusive 2026 Coachella livestream officially closed out last night, bringing the desert’s most exciting moments to fans around the world. By pairing multi-stage 4K scale with a first-of-its-kind vertical broadcast on the Quasar stage, YouTube bridged the gap between the desert floor and the screen, delivering the sweat, the energy, and the intimacy of the festival directly to the living room via Coachella’s YouTube Channel.
A few of the many highlights from this weekend’s livestream performances included:
- Sabrina Carpenter sent Friday into another frenzy, welcoming Madonna for “Vogue” and “Like a Prayer,” plus an unreleased track debut.
- After Justin Bieber’s much buzzed about weekend 1 set, he closed Saturday with another nostalgic deep dive into his YouTube roots. The guest-packed finale featured Billie Eilish for “One Less Lonely Girl,” SZA for “Snooze,” Big Sean, Sexyy Red, and Dijon.
- Karol G continued her historic run, closing out the fest with a string of high-profile guest appearances, including J Balvin, Peso Pluma, and Ryan Castro. To cap off the night, she shared a major announcement, revealing her upcoming Tropicoqueta tour.
- Anyma redefined the main stage with his “ÆDEN” show, pairing hyper-realistic visuals with a heavy-hitting guest list. Highlights included the live debut of “Bad Angel” with LISA, “Beautiful” with Joji, and appearances by Swae Lee and Matt Bellamy.
- Kacey Musgraves was weekend 2’s surprise set playing new songs “Back on the Wagon,” “Uncertain, TX,” and more.
- Addison Rae was back and electrified Day 2 by bringing out Olivia Rodrigo. The duo performed Rae’s “Headphones On” before debuting Rodrigo’s fresh single, “Drop Dead.”
- Sombr brought a rock edge to Saturday, joining forces with Billy Idol and Steve Stevens for “Eyes Without a Face” alongside a haunting cover of Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees.”
- Giveon‘s sunset set offered soul and scale, backed by a full orchestra. He teamed up with Teddy Swims for “Lose Control” and shocked the crowd by bringing out Snoop Dogg for “Beautiful.”
- PinkPantheress brought the party this weekend with special guests Janelle Monae, Zara Larsson, Chase Infiniti, Manon, Blood Orange, Slayyyter, Tyriq Withers and Ninajirachi.
- During Young Thug‘s Sunday performance, he shared the stage with his fiancé Mariah The Scientist, for a rendition of her track “Burning Blue.”
Throughout both weekends, YouTube hosted its annual on-site content studio on the Coachella grounds, capturing artists and creators in their festival best with portraits taken by photographer/director Alfred Marroquin. Weekend 2 attendees included Zara Larsson, Giveon, Becky G, Brittany Broski, Charli D’Amelio, FLO, Luisa Sonza, Noga Erez, and more.
