Coachella 2024 didn't have that rocking start that many anticipated. The first weekend of the musical and art festival saw singers facing a lot of technical difficulties, leading to their program set. Canadian singer Grimes was one of them, who faced a lot of trouble during her set.

The songstress started off her performance in the wildest way one could imagine. However, soon all the energy in her performance was flattened due to the major technical issues. 

Grimes kicked off her performance at the Sahara stage by entering in a walking vehicle, resembling a spider. She was sitting on the top of it. Soon after her performance, Grimes started facing difficulties while singing as the songs were double the regulated speed.

Explaining the situation to the jam-packed crowd, she said, “This is a difficult thing to explain but we’re having a major technical error.” 

She added, “Don’t judge me for being bad at calculating things.”

In a confusing state, Grimes told the crowd that all of her tracks were playing in the set tempo.

“All my tracks are double tempo and I can’t do the math. They’re borderline un-mixable, so the rest of my sent won’t be mixes but it’ll still be fun,” anxious Grimes told the crowd. 

She further said she accepts all the responsibility for the issues and apologises for the trouble. Grimes promised that she would take care of everything before her performance in the Weekend 2 of Coachella. 

During her set, Grimes shouted several times as she decided to play some of her unreleased tracks, saying that it wasn’t “actually my fault.”

“I’m trying to think. I’m not good enough at math for this shit,” she said. 

However, soon after her performance, netizens were quick to express their anger calling her performance, “the worst in the history of Coachella”.
