Fans who can’t be in Indio, Calif., this weekend — or bands trapped in the U.K. by an angry volcano — can watch much of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival via free streaming webcasts on Facebook, MySpace and Verizon V Cast Video on Demand (for those with Verizon phones) beginning tonight. The webcast lineup, which we’ve included below, starts at 8:05 p.m. EST today and runs through 2 a.m. EST Monday, and includes sets from Public Image Ltd., Echo & The Bunnymen, The Specials, Faith No More and Devo, among others. However, the weekend’s three headliners — Jay-Z, Muse and Gorillaz, the latter of which will be backed by The Clash’s Mick Jones and Paul Simonon— aren’t participating.

I saw PiL’s complete set last night, and it was AMAZING. They played a lot of unexpected tracks like Tie Me To The Length Of That and Albatross. The band was strong and tight, and Lydon was in rare form railing against Republicans and the church.
They opened with The Is Not A Love Song and wrapped up with Public Image, Rise, and Lydon’s solo track Open Up. They played longer than Jay=Z, who was headlining the adjacent main stage.
