Grimes Apologizes for Unfortunate Coachella Performance. On April 13, Grimes' Coachella set was plagued by technical issues that prompted her to belt her frustrations into the microphone, CNN reports. She reportedly screamed in frustration several times, repeatedly stopped songs and told the audience that her tracks were "double the tempo," which was causing issues. Grimes ultimately left the stage midway through performing "Genesis," and her set was cut short. In her apology, Grimes described the incident as "sonic chaos on my end trying to guess how stuff was sounding for u guys”. "I want to apologize for the technical issues with the show tonight.” "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.” Grimes continued, saying that she “will personally organize all the files next week” and there were “good lessons learned”. "I will not let such a thing happen again. I've spent months on this show, making music and visuals, and admittedly am not in the best mood atm. But, yeh - next week will be flawless, everything will run thru my hands.” "Plz forgive me! Love, always.", Grimes, via X. While the disastrous set prompted mixed reactions, many expressed empathy for what Grimes experienced. "I love Grimes's music, and the pressure must be crazy to do a show like this - but her show at Coachella is the musician's version of nightmares where your teeth fall out and everyone laughs.”, @GhostTrainNFTs, via X.
