New Delhi, India
Grimes' first performance at Coachella didn't go as per the plan. On the first day of the much-awaited music festival, Grimes' performance was cut short due to multiple technical issues.
In front of the jam-packed crowd, Grimes looked exhausted as she faced trouble during her gig. While the first half of her performance went smoothly, it was the second half when the actual difficulties began.
Hours after her disappointing performance, the Canadian songstress apologised to all her fans and concertgoers, and went on to explain what had gone wrong, and the lesson she had learnt from last night.

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.
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
