Grimes apologizes for technical issues at Coachella Weekend one, where surprise performances by Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish delighted attendees.
Weekend one of the festival also sees surprise appearances from Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish.
Viewers witnessed the singer expressing her frustration through screams as a series of issues, including songs playing at double speed, disrupted the latter portion of her festival performance. Taking to X to address the situation, the singer admitted it was among the initial occasions she had delegated crucial tasks. Asserting her determination, she declared, “I refuse to allow such occurrences in the future,” further stating her intention to take charge personally and oversee all arrangements for the festival’s subsequent weekend.
“After dedicating months to crafting music and visuals for this show, I must confess, I’m not exactly in the best spirits right now.”
The event, hosted in Indio, California, became a subject of social media chatter for reasons beyond this instance.
One notable moment involved the widely circulated clip of Blur’s performance. Frontman Damon Albarn drew attention by expressing disappointment with the audience’s lack of participation during their 90s hit “Girls & Boys.”
Addressing the crowd, he remarked, “You’re never seeing us again, so you might as well sing it, know what I’m saying?”
The reaction to “Song 2” was notably more enthusiastic, perhaps influenced by its online popularity.
Damon introduced the song by expressing gratitude, noting, “This song has brought us so much joy. However, I recently stumbled upon a TikTok rendition featuring a vacuum cleaner, which, while amusing, also serves as a reminder of the humble yet inspiring impact of our music.”
The inaugural weekend featured headline performances by Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator, and Doja Cat.
As customary at Coachella, unexpected guest appearances abounded, including Olivia Rodrigo’s impromptu performance alongside No Doubt.
The Gwen Stefani-led rock band delivered their first performance in nearly ten years, with Olivia joining them onstage to perform “Bathwater.” Singer Kesha also made an appearance during Mean Girls star Reneé Rapp’s set, collaborating on a modified version of the 2010 hit “Tik Tok.” The lyrics were altered, seemingly addressing sexual assault allegations against rapper P Diddy. These allegations involve four women, including his longtime partner Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, who have filed lawsuits accusing him of sexual and physical abuse—allegations he vehemently denies.
Lana Del Rey headlined Friday night’s show and featured special guests like Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste, and Jack Antonoff.
However, it was Jack Antonoff’s band, Bleachers, that drew the most notable guest stars of the weekend, despite not performing on stage.
Observers noted Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, NFL player Travis Kelce, dancing in the audience. Fans spotted them enjoying the performance.
Taylor’s upcoming album, rumored to have involvement from Jack, titled “The Tortured Poets Department,” is set to release this Friday.
It was a bit of a bummer, but hey, even the pros hit a snag sometimes, right? Anyway, I just wanted to share that Grimes took to social media to apologize for the issues and thanked her fans for their understanding and support. She promised to make it up to everyone and assured us that she’s working hard to bring us an amazing show. So, let’s give her some love and understanding, and get excited for what she has in store for us next!
