Coachella 2023

So the replays you just have to sit through the whole broadcast? No way to skip to individual sets?

All the YouTube videos let you move to the relevant act.

Charli set really worth checking out from yesterday. She always delivers.

Not entirely convinced that Rosalia didn’t mime every single bit of her set tbh.

She just absolutely nails it every single time

Yaeji’s set is a blast

Frank Ocean doing his set entirely obscured from the crowd is a big call

He’s come out now

Didn’t realise ‘Marc Rebillet’ was a real thing. Is this the American equivalent of Limmy playing the main stage at Glastonbury?

He hasn’t sung a word for several songs in a row

Like the backing track is doing it all?

Yes and he was just strolling about, sang one more then hit curfew so ended abruptly.

Also had a compeltely random 10 minute DJ set in the middle

Sounds shit!

Disappointed to hear it’s been crap, haven’t seen any footage but a friend has been watching it on Instagram live this morning and has said pretty much the same as the comments here. Thought we were in for a pure zeitgeist moment a la Kanye in 2011.

Sounds worse than his usual perfunctory live style. Hour late, lip syncing, 10 minute DJ set in the middle, then the curfew and he walked off.

Guess it makes sense for him not to play live if he’s genuinely just bad at it. Still excited for new music from him but after this and his no show to Primavera I can’t imagine ever trying to see him in concert again.

Also - he mentioned a new album but said it’s not there yet.

Would be nice if all that BMW stuff was leading upto Nostalgia Ultra hitting streaming, at least, but I suspect it was just plain old brand synergy…

he looked amazing on the original 2017 (?) Blonde dates from the clips I saw, the ones with Alex G on guitar etc

I’ve seen clips of the songs he did sing and he sounds great (if anxious) - I would just need free tickets to take a chance on going to a show in person, I think.

He’s doing the second weekend at Coachella. Wonder if it’ll be more fully formed, or if it’ll even happen…
