YouTube launched 360-degree video with D∆WN (watch), streaming Coachella (schedule)
As you may know, select Coachella Weekend Two sets will stream in 360 video on YouTube. 360-degree streaming is actually something very new to YouTube. Here’s what they wrote in a blog post on Monday:
Today, we’re taking immersive video even further with 360-degree live streaming on YouTube.
We first launched support for 360-degree videos back in March 2015. From musicians to athletes to brands, creators have done some incredible things with this technology. Now, they’ll be able to do even more to bring fans directly into their world, with 360-degree live streaming. And after years of live streaming Coachella for fans around the world who can’t attend the festival, this year we’re bringing you the festival like never before by live streaming select artist performances in 360 degrees this weekend.
Starting today, we’re also launching spatial audio for on-demand YouTube videos. Just as watching a concert in 360 degrees can give you an unmatched immersive experience, spatial audio allows you to listen along as you do in real life, where depth, distance and intensity all play a role. Try out this playlist on your Android device.

The first-ever musical performance to stream in 360 on YouTube was of D∆WN (aka Dawn Richard) at SXSW 2016 (she was one of our favorite sets at SXSW this year). Check that out, via The Verge, below.
The 360 stream of Coachella Weekend Two begins at 6:45 PM EST today (4/22). Meanwhile, toy around with archived footage of Weekend One in 360 right now.
