Holographic Tupac or not, Coachella looks like it will be a blast this year. And if you’re going to be unable to make it this year, and sadly most of us fall into this category, YouTube is offering a small lifeline.

For the third year in a row, YouTube is streaming the entire first weekend of the festival on Coachella’s official YouTube channel.

“Starting this Friday at 3:30 p.m. PT, YouTube’s three-channel feed, which is presented by T-Mobile, will live stream performances from five stages (including, for the first time, the Sahara Tent). You’ll be able to catch artists’ interviews with and live shows from more than 60 bands, including the xx, Passion Pit, Vampire Weekend and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”

It’s not quite like being there, but hey, it’s something.
