Frank Ocean’s Coachella performance wasn't livestreamed

Frank Ocean‘s highly anticipated headlining set at Coachella has been pulled from YouTube streaming schedule and only those in attendance at Coachella were able to watch him perform. Besides Frank Ocean, Björk‘s livestream from Coachella has also been pulled from its streaming schedule.  It was his first performance in six years. 

During his set Ocean said he won’t be dropping a new album at Coachella. 
“I wanna talk about why we’re here today. “It’s not because of a new album,” he said. “Not that there’s not a new album but it’s not right now.” 

Ocean began playing shortly after 11 p.m. (the show was scheduled for 10:05 p.m), opening abruptly with “Novacane.” Vocally, the rendition was pitch-perfect, though Frank sat in the middle of the stage with his face hidden in a blue hoodie, his back partially turned toward the crowd. Most of the stage was covered by a massive screen, and fans only got a glimpse of the singer through camera angles of him performing from behind it.

There were long, silent pauses between songs with Ocean barely saying anything and keeping his interaction with the audience to a minimum. Slowly, he began opening up more, sharing an emotional memory about the festival.

Later, he turned the show over to DJ Crystall Mess, who performed an EDM-powered interlude of several of his songs. 

He also made way for a young piano player who took the stage and lip-synced to his songs.

While performing a cover of “At Your Best (You Are Love),” Ocean announced, “Guys, I’m being told it’s curfew so that’s the end of the show.” The stage screen went completely black, Ocean cut the performance off there and left the stage.

People online are saying he was super late, barely performed, had a dj in the middle of his set take up a lot of time and then a kid on piano, then he cut it short because of curfew. Doesn’t seem like he’s in the right headspace to be doing Coachella. Wouldn’t be surprised if he drops out for next week.
