Music festivals are about making sound, and lots of it. But hearing is far from the only sense assaulted during days spent rushing from one performance to another. Bodies bump against bodies. Drinks and sweat soak shirts and moisten skin. Colors and bright lights pierce eyes from all directions. To get the full experience, you must go in person.

But if it's all about the music for you, staying home isn't bad. Coachella is giving you that option this weekend. The annual music festival taking place in California's Colorado Desert is streaming for free. YouTube is the exclusive provider.

Starting this Friday, the festival is providing three separate live streams along with on-demand content. This way you can catch up on the performances you missed if you don't tune in from the beginning.

The experience will be available on Coachella's channel through any YouTube app, but you can also watch the streams April 15 - 17 in your browser at Coachella's website.
