If you aren’t able to make it out to weekend one or two of Coachella 2025, Meta Quest’s virtual reality headset is coming to your rescue.

Having just launched the Meta Quest 3 and the 3S, the brand has two ways to make it incredibly easy to get that festival feel from the comfort of your couch. Specializing in “mixed reality,” both headsets make it easy to scroll and do multiple things at once — whether that’s scrolling on Instagram or watching a sporting event at the same time as you’re catching, say, Lady Gaga performing “Abracadabra.” For Coachella, the headset makes it easy to arrange your screen to either feel like you’re in the theater or at the festival while watching it live on YouTube.

The entire experience is much more elevated than simply watching a YouTube video on your phone. The YouTube app that you download from the Meta Quest allows you to explore all of the videos in 8K resolution. This also goes for 3D and 360-degree content, so it’s truly like being there in the crowd.

The headset itself is super comfortable and the visuals can be adjusted very specifically to your preferences so that you’re seeing it as clearly and as vibrantly as possible. You’ll also be seriously impressed by the huge field of vision, which really makes it feel like you’re there.

Trending on Billboard

If there’s a particular artist who you and your friends love, you can even invite them to watch with YouTube Co-Watch. This allows you to view the same content at the same time as friends, so it’s like you’re there together — even if you couldn’t afford the price or time off for a ticket to go to Coachella together this year. The co-watch feature allows you to invite up to seven people to watch content with you.

If you’re wondering what it will be like before weekend two, check out all of the playlists of performances on YouTube, but make sure you download the app from the Meta Quest for the full experience.

Here are both versions of the Meta Quest — both of which are cheaper than a ticket to Coachella.

Meta Quest 3

$499.99

If you’ve tried the Meta Quest 2, you’ll be super impressed with the upgrades, especially in terms of visuals. In fact, the resolution is nearly 30% better than it was in the Quest 2, and this version also features 4K and Infinite Display.

This headset is also equipped with a high-quality pancake lens that offers improved sharpness for all visuals. The display is super enhanced, which is great for Coachella — you’ll feel like you’re there in the desert. It has a 110-degree horizontal display and a 96-degree vertical display.

There are also improved comfort features such as the new headset and strap design. The strap is soft and adjustable to avoid putting pressure on your face while you’re wearing the headset. The sound is incredibly loud and crisp — even bass notes — which is particularly exciting for Coachella viewing.

Finally, it has 512GBs of storage space, so whether you want to game or watch movies on your headset in the future, it has the capacity to display and store them without interruptions.

If you’re not looking to invest fully in the 3, the 3S is still a truly solid option. It offers 128GB or 256GB storage options, so you’ll be able to accommodate any games or apps you want. For resolution, it offers 1832×1920 pixels per eye, and it has an adjustable fresnel lens.

It also has a 96-degree by 90-degree field of view, which means you’ll still be able to feel like you’re there in the moment.

In 2009, Coachella introduced its first “Soberchella” — a sober experience at the famed music and arts festival in Indio, California. Since then, its following has grown from humble beginnings as an AA meeting into a popular movement. Organizations like the Yellow Balloon Group, which supports those living drug-free at festivals, have helped foster a more inclusive environment for sober attendees. Still, the festival’s earlier years weren’t always mindful of this community, and alcohol-free beverages were far from common. Over the years, though, non-alcoholic drinks have evolved into an art form, with brands continuously pushing the boundaries of creativity in their 0.0% offerings. This year, Coachella is selling more creative non-alcoholic options than ever before.

The New Bar is back for its third year in a row as the official non-alcoholic partner of Coachella 2025 (both weekends one and two). Located at the Terrace opposite the main entrance and 12 Peaks VIP next to the main stage, The New Bar offers a variety of drinks, including craft cocktails, wine, beer, and ready-to-drink alternatives. Brands featured at their non-alcoholic watering holes this year are French Bloom Le Rosé, Almave Blanco Blue Agave Spirit, Recess Zero Proof Classic Cosmo, Recess Zero Proof Watermelon Mojito, Free AF Apero Spritz, and Free AF Mango Margarita. Not attending Coachella? These options are also available to buy online at TheNewBar.com.

FAN FAVORITE

Free AF Apero Spritz Nonalcoholic Cocktail (Four-Pack)

The overall atmosphere at The New Bar at Coachella 2025 is lively with a hint of sophistication. The customer age demographic ranges from roughly 18-50, and patrons are either sober, sober-curious, supporting their sober friends, or practicing the popular “zebra striping” drinking strategy, alternating between alcoholic and non-alcoholic libations to stay hydrated and present.

For example, in 2023, the brand says non-alcoholic sales at The New Bar spiked before Bad Bunny’s set as attendees paced themselves before the rapper took the main stage, demonstrating a broader cultural shift toward mindful drinking. According to the annual consumer survey by NCSolutions, 49% of Americans in 2025 are trying to reduce their alcohol intake with Gen Z accounting for 65% of this rise for reasons like better mental and physical health, a dislike of alcohol’s taste, and addiction. This marks a 44% increase since 2023.

The most popular non-alcoholic drinks customers are ordering at Coachella? According to bartenders at The New Bar, craft cocktails like the tequila-inspired Golden Hour Marg made from Lewis Hamilton’s Almave Blanco Blue Agave, and Easy Riser made from Optimist Botanicals, lime, lemon, apricot nectar, and jalapeño are in high demand. Furthermore, ready-to-drink cans like Classic Cosmo and Apero Spritz for people to drink on their way to a set are popular purchases. “A lot of festivals think if they put a non-alcoholic beer on the menu they’ve done their job in covering the category and giving their attendees ‘a choice’ but that’s not what consumers want,” says Brianda Gonzalez, founder and CEO of The New Bar. “They want the full, same, elevated experience and level of choice that alcohol consumers get.”

LEWIS HAMILTON BRAND

Patrons of these establishments seem empowered to have long-overdue non-alcoholic drink choices at these traditionally alcohol-heavy festivals. One attendee, who has been sober for three years, noted that in the past, Coachella offered few — if any — thoughtful beverage options tailored to sober people, aside from standard choices like Coca-Cola or other sodas. “The drinks are creative and flavorful, and mimic the creativity that alcoholic drinks have,” another sober festivalgoer said. While there were always a few customers at The New Bar at any one time during the day, once the sun set, crowds were lining up at the bar to quench their thirst after a day in the heat. Many expressed they were seeking a break from plain water or alcohol, craving something more inventive that could rehydrate them or help sober them up.

Best Alcohol-Free Sparkling

As well as activations at the Terrace and 12 Peaks VIP, The New Bar also works closely with the Coachella team to curate non-alcoholic drink menus for other establishments across the camp. Non-alc libations can be found at the Outstanding in the Field dinners, a limited menu at Veranda at the artist lounge, and within the Safari Campgrounds — a significant growth in inventory since previous years. “We’ve worked with the festival to grow the options offered, maintain a highly curated set of the best products in the market, and increase the access at touchpoints each year,” Gonzalez says. “Eventually, I’d like to see our non-alcoholic drink options expand across the entire camp.”

Katy Perry is heading to space and fans can follow along with the pop star’s journey with a livestream of her all-female “Blue Origin” flight.

Perry’s flight on the “New Shepard” spacecraft takes place Monday morning (April 14) with the launch window opening at 9:30 a.m. ET / 6:30 a.m. PT. Officials will monitor weather conditions from the launch pad location in Texas to determine an exact lift-off time.

How to Watch Blue Origin Spaceflight Launch on TV

Want to watch the Blue Origin spaceflight launch on TV? Perry’s space journey will be broadcast live on CBS (network host Gayle King is among the passengers on the flight).

In addition to Perry and King, passengers onboard New Shepard include NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Amanda Nguyen, entrepreneur/film producer Kerianne Flynn, and Jeff Bezos’ fiance, Lauren Sánchez. Monday’s NS-31 expedition will mark Blue Origin’s 11th human space flight.

While some have questioned the timing of Perry’s space flight so close to her upcoming Lifetimes Tour (which kicks off April 23), it’s worth noting that the singer isn’t actually staying in space. In fact, the entire suborbital flight is expected to last just 11 minutes, giving Perry and the crew enough time to reach the edge of space without making a full orbit around the earth. Still, they’ll hopefully be able to get some once-in-a-lifetime views while also experiencing a few minutes of weightlessness.

Watch Perry’s Blue Origin spacelight live online through Paramount+ here. You can also find a livestream on YouTube and X.
