Making It Special for the Fans at Home
Last year, YouTube had a powerhouse presence at Coachella and launched several festival-firsts for the fans tuning in from home. There were Shorts and Creator activations on the ground, a new YouTube Shopping integration, Live Chat in action, and YouTube Premium pre-parties, all accompanying the livestream.
All in with YouTube Shorts:
Fans have an opportunity to participate in the Coachella experience and interact with their favorites artists on YouTube Shorts, help build the set lists for one of the biggest artists, producers and DJs in the world, Calvin Harris, plus global superstar Becky G, and GRAMMY award winning Burna Boy.
They can also show global icons BLACKPINK how they’re getting ready for their first-ever headlining performance. Shorts is also the place where fans can expect to see exclusive content from Artists and Creators like Alan Chikin Chow, Lexi Hensler, BENOFTHEWEEK, Amelia DiMoldenberg of Chicken Shop Date, Taylor Red TV, The Scotts, Nicole Laeno, Adam W and VIVACIOUSHONEY, amongst others, getting fans hyped up and giving them an unprecedented look at what’s happening IRL (in real life).
More Exclusive Merch Drops:
There will be exclusive merch drops from over a dozen artists. In addition to a custom Coachella drop, all will be available for purchase directly on the livestream and through YouTube Shorts on Coachella’s channel via YouTube Shopping. From Bad Bunny to Calvin Harris, Gorillaz, Ethel Cain, Fisher, Porter Robinson, YUNGBLUD and more.
Exclusive YouTube Premium Pre-Parties:
Do you ever wonder how an Artist prepares for a show? How they choose their set list? Or if they have backstage rituals? Some artists will give a glimpse into their world before they hit the stage, available exclusively through YouTube Premium. Stay tuned for more details.
