AXS TV (Directv channel 340) will be broadcasting Weekend 2 of the Coachella Music Festival for a second straight year.
The network is set to broadcast 20 hours worth of music over the three-day weekend festival. You can pretend you’re in the Promised Land for 7 hours on Friday, 7 hours on Saturday, and 6 hours on Sunday. The schedule the network unveiled (view below) doesn’t seem to have enough sets to take up 20 hours of programming, so either look for some late-adds, or get ready to listen to Jason Bentley pretend to be an authority on the latest indie buzzbands on this year’s lineup, good luck with that. How Coachella allows Mr. Bentley to host the Youtube webcast and the AXS broadcast, blows my mind.
Happy Pretending while I’m there for realz!
Friday, April 17: Alabama Shakes, Lykke Li, The War on Drugs, Reverend Horton Heat and Azealia Banks.
Saturday, April 18: Jack White, Alt-J, Run the Jewels, St. Paul and the Broken Bones and Father John Misty.
Sunday, April 19: St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Fitz & the Tantrums, Sturgill Simpson and Vance Joy.
