She wrote in a post on X, ''I want to apologize for the technical issues with the show tonight. I wanted to come back rly strong and usually I always handle every aspect of my show myself – to save time this was one of the first times I’ve outsourced essential things like rekordbox bpm’s and letting someone else organize the tracks on the sd card etc. I had a bad feeling beforehand not having run everything thru the cdjs myself and tho I flagged it I wasn’t insistent.''

In the post further, Grimes wrote that everything will be fine in her second performance of weekend 2 at Coachella.

''Next week will be flawless, everything will run thru my hands. Some good lessons learned. Bless y’all. The cdjs were showing me bpms like 370 so I couldn’t even mix manually by ear and the front monitors were off so it was literally sonic chaos on my end trying to guess how stuff was sounding for u guyS. Plz forgive me! Love, always,'' she wrote.

Several videos of Grimes shouting while facing technical difficulties during her gig have gone viral on social media.

Reflecting on the same, she wrote in another post,''I was not aware of the screaming and my friends just showed me I constantly scream and squeak into the mic a few days ago which ads another layer of psychological chaos hahahahha but I'll at least get some verb and dist on there if i need to do that again.''
