Grimes has issued an apology following several technical mishaps during her DJ set at Coachella, which led to visible frustration on her part. The singer expressed her regret on X, stating that it was one of the few times she had delegated crucial tasks to others. She vowed to take personal charge of the preparations for the festival’s upcoming weekend.
She mentioned dedicating months to the show, creating music and visuals, and shared her current dissatisfaction with how things unfolded.
Additionally, the festival in Indio, California, witnessed other memorable moments that caught the attention of social media. A video of Blur’s Damon Albarn became popular after he admonished the audience for not singing along to the ’90s anthem “Girls & Boys,” humorously threatening that it would be their last chance to perform it live. However, their song “Song 2” received a much warmer reception, likely boosted by its recognition on platforms like TikTok.
The event featured headliners such as Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator, and Doja Cat. Notably, Olivia Rodrigo made a surprise appearance, performing with No Doubt in their first show in nearly ten years, and Kesha appeared during Reneé Rapp’s set, where they performed a modified version of Kesha’s hit “Tik Tok” with altered lyrics.
The weekend was also marked by celebrity sightings, including Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce, who were seen enjoying Bleachers’ set, a band associated with Jack Antonoff, rumored to be involved in Swift’s upcoming album release.
