If you are more into Couch-ella than the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (or you just couldn’t get tickets), you can watch the action from the popular events at the Empire Polo Club at home.

The festival announced that the first weekend of the festival (April 11-13)  will be  broadcast on YouTube, as it has been in recent years.  The videos will also be available on demand in the weeks following the fest.  You can watch at www.coachella.com and at youtube.com/Coachella

However, for the first time since adding a second weekend, the second weekend will get some love, too. AXS TV, the television channel that has broadcast the Stagecoach Country Music Festival (and will again this year), will air sets from weekend two (April 18-20).  The AXS TV weekend will include 20 hours of live coverage, with artists interviews and select performance footage.
