Grimes apologizes for disastrous Coachella set

Canadian singer Grimes apologized to fans on Saturday after her Coachella set earlier in the evening was plagued by technical issues that left her screaming into the microphone in frustration.

“I would like to apologize for the technical issues with tonight’s show,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Usually I’ve always handled every aspect of my show myself – to save time this was one of the first times I outsourced important things like rekordbox bpm and let someone else arrange the tracks on sd card etc,” he added, referring to the necessary DJ software to play his music, which combines elements of synthpop and techno.

In a video posted on social media, Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, can be seen screaming in frustration several times, stopping the song and explaining to the audience that all her songs are “double tempo”, making it difficult for her to mix them.

Ultimately, the set was cut short early and Grimes left the stage halfway through her hit song “Genesis,” according to media outlets such as Variety.

He later described it in his apology as “a sonic mess on my part trying to guess what that sounds like for you guys.”

The incident drew mixed reactions online, with one viral post on X expressing sympathy for Grimes experiencing “the musician’s version of a nightmare where your teeth get knocked out and everyone laughs,” while others criticized the singer for appearing unprepared at one the biggest festival. this year.

Grimes added in her apology that she “will organize all the files myself next week,” ahead of her performance at Coachella’s second weekend, and that there were some “good lessons learned.”

“I will never let something like that happen again,” he said. “I’ve spent months on this show, making music and visuals, and admittedly I’m not in the best mood. But, yes – next week will be perfect, everything will go through my hands.

“Please forgive me! Love, always.”
