It will feature performances from Billie Eilish, Kanye West, Daft Punk, BlackPink, the Pixies, Bjork, Madonna, Radiohead, and more.
The film is being produced by concert and festival producer Goldenvoice and AEG Studios. It is the latest in a series of music-focused original programming that YouTube has in the works — including, most recently, a docuseries featuring Justin Bieber
titled Seasons.At the same time as the doc announce, YouTube confirmed that it will live stream Coachella coverage on both weekends of the festival for the tenth year in a row.
