Apple Music to Livestream Head Trip
Apple Music to livestream all Head Trip mainstage sets across October 10 and 11 with no subscription required
With Head Trip set to debut at Empire Polo Club next month, the festival will also be available to watch from home. Apple Music will livestream every mainstage set across October 10 and 11, with no subscription required to access the stream. The broadcast will cover both days from Indio, giving viewers access to sets from artists including Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Skrillex, FISHER, Chris Lake, Peggy Gou and Four Tet.

Head Trip Livestream Covers Both Days
Across October 10 and 11, Apple Music viewers will be able to follow every mainstage set as the weekend unfolds at Empire Polo Club. Saturday includes Seth Troxler B2B Ben Sterling, Peggy Gou B2B Four Tet and FISHER B2B Chris Lake before Calvin Harris closes the night. Sunday continues with DJ Harvey, The Blessed Madonna, Dom Dolla B2B KETTAMA and Skrillex, followed by Swedish House Mafia for the final set.
With one stage across the entire weekend, the stream follows the festival in full without overlapping performances. Several artists on the lineup rarely play together at the same festival, while pairings such as Peggy Gou B2B Four Tet and Dom Dolla B2B KETTAMA add sets that are not seen often. Anyone watching from home can therefore stay with the same schedule as attendees in Indio from the opening set through each closing performance.
Ahead of the broadcast, Apple Music has opened a dedicated Head Trip page with music from the artists performing and DJ mixes linked to several names on the lineup. The platform is promoting the weekend as a one-time livestream from Indio, matching Head Trip’s own “just this once” concept and giving viewers another way to follow the festival before October.
Head Trip at Empire Polo Club
The livestream also brings a one-time Goldenvoice event to people outside California. Head Trip will take place at Empire Polo Club, home to Coachella and Stagecoach, while the same grounds previously hosted Desert Trip in 2016 and Power Trip in 2023. This time, the focus is electronic music across two days and one stage.
Beyond the mainstage schedule, Floating Points will bring the Sunflower Sound System to the United States for the first time. The custom setup features 10 speaker stacks inside a dome with mycelium acoustic panels and artwork from Josephine Chime. Romain Pissenem and High Scream are also behind the festival production, with different visual settings planned across the weekend.
For anyone unable to attend in Indio, the Apple Music broadcast now provides access to the same two-day schedule as it happens. With every mainstage set included and no subscription required, Head Trip will extend far beyond Empire Polo Club during its only planned weekend.
