So is there even a reason to go now? Just watch it at home.

I think most people still prefer the live experience over in-home.

Over here in Brazil it has been very common for big festivals like lollapalooza and rock in rio have live broadcasting/streaming (for at least a decade now) and it never hurt the events, in fact it normally makes people want to see it live more.

tbf experiencing a music festival in person is really special if you have the stamina for it. there's nothing else quite like it. some of my best memories are from my festival days. it is nice to have the option to watch from home but it's just not the same, for better and worse lol

I’ll check it out but the lineup this year seems weak?

[juunanagou18]

no, i agree. last year's lineup was so stacked that i was flipping through the channels all weekend (at night) and then bands/people i wanted to see still overlapped.

I forgot who it was last year but I know I was 👀👀👀!!

But this year even though I like some of these acts I’m also like “hmm seems kinda uneventful?? Just okay”.

last year, i was watching for stromae, megan, 88rising, CL, odesza, and acts i've always heard about but never seen like rina sawayama and pabllo vittar

I was already a huge proponent of Couchella and have attended every year, but this is beyond!! I've been waiting for them to add more stages, but doing the whole second weekend is incredible. I would never want to go to Coachella in person, because I love live music but I hate festivals - the crowds, the drunk people, the rude people, the general inconvenience, the standing, the dirt, the variable weather, absolutely none of that is for me. So this is perfect.

It's interesting, though, because I don't think the second weekend has even sold out yet - I wonder if it will?

I'm interested in seeing so many acts: Frank Ocean, Gorillaz, Blondie, Wet Leg, MUNA, Björk, Kali Uchis, Charli, boygenius, Snail Mail, the Linda Lindas, Weyes Blood, Christine and the Queens. But I always end up finding new-to-me artists via these kinds of streams, too, so looking forward to that!

Frank Ocean is my absolute favorite so I’ll be tuning in for him eek!

A lot of places stopped doing this in the last year and it’s been really depressing as a homebound person. To know everyone CAN do it but just don’t bother is no fun.

Love this & hope other events take notes!

Yep. It's so annoying to see all these tech conferences that can be remote (I mean,hello, it's TECHNOLOGY) just opt to be 100% in person again, like some of us live in bumfuck nowhere, not Seattle.

[hiimtish]

For real!!

A lot of disability conferences have even been doing this and I’m like ummmm okay

[itsallnotone]

Bookstores have cut down on it too for author events and it’s such a bummer. A writer I follow is going on a book tour and said she isn’t partnering with bookstores that won’t require masking indoors for her events or offer virtual recordings, and I really respect that!
