Frank Ocean: Last News

Despite the chaotic reception surrounding Frank Ocean’s Coachella performance, Justin Bieber remains steadfast that it was a great show.

Justin Bieber has weighed in on Frank Ocean‘s 2023 Coachella Music Festival performance.

Frank Ocean's Coachella 2023 performance was affected by a serious ankle injury he picked up during rehearsals, Pitchfork and Rolling Stone report. TMZ sources state that the injury was sustained in a bike accident on the Coachella grounds in the run-up to the festival.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Justin Bieber came to the defense of Frank Ocean in an Instagram post in which the “Peaches” singer praised Ocean’s controversial Coachella performance. Ocean headlined Coachella 2023 along with Bad Bunny and Blackpink, but his April 16 set proved to be a massive disappointment for fans after he started an hour late, skipped over many fan-favorite songs, performed mostly sitting down and with his back to the crowd and lip-synched to several tracks. He also ran past the Coachella curfew and abruptly ended his set after less than 90 minutes. While Ocean has received pans for his performance, Bieber had nothing but raves for his fellow musician. Bieber, who memorably surprised Coachella in 2019 by joining Ariana Granda’s headlining set, praised Ocean’s artistry and voice in a heartfelt note on social media.

Coachella has reportedly been fined $117,000 (£94,494) for breaking its curfew on all three days of weekend one.The fines come after the festival ran for over 20 minutes past its approved curfew on each day from April 14 to April 16, per Pitchfork. The festival ran 25 minutes past its curfew on Friday (April 14), 22 minutes on Saturday (April 15) and 25 minutes on Sunday (April 16).Pitchfork reports that the fines are part of an agreement between Coachella organiser Goldenvoice and the city of Indio, California dating back to 2013.

Frank Ocean reportedly injured his ankle during his on-ground rehearsals at Coachella, causing several last-minute changes to his headlining set on Sunday (April 16).Per reports from Pitchfork, Ocean injured his ankle while on the festival grounds, rehearsing for his set. Pitchfork reports that “doctors advised Ocean take pressure off his ankle by changing his production for the show”.

Weekend one of the 2023 Coachella Music Festival has come to an end and we spotted so many celebs in the crowd on day three!

There have been lots of complaints about Frank Ocean‘s set at the 2023 Coachella Music Festival and a TikTok user is going viral for her explanation of what seemingly what wrong.

Coachella festival, the biggest in North America. So the fact that Frank Ocean’s festival-closing performance — his first in nearly six years — was so shambolic left many concertgoers distressed, depressed, annoyed and other similar emotions (and left exponentially more people feeling similar kinds of ways when his set was unexpectedly not livestreamed). The energy was low, he and the band were obscured by a battery of people walking in a circle around the stage, he performed a seeming ad-hoc setlist with a bizarrely timed DJ set in the middle, and the show started an hour late. A post early Monday from the music-festival-centric Twitter site the Festive Owl offered a seemingly plausible basic explanation for what transpired, several basic facts of which have been confirmed by sources to Variety, along with reports in Rolling Stone and TMZ. Reps for Coachella promoter Goldenvoice, its parent company AEG and Ocean did not immediately respond to Variety’s requests for comment.

Frank Ocean‘s set at the 2023 Coachella Music Festival was cut short due to the curfew and there have been reports about last-minute changes in the production. Now there is an explanation for what happened.

Jeff Miller There’s no question that the most-talked-about performance of Coachella weekend one was Frank Ocean’s festival-closing, wildly uneven set. But that’s unfortunate seeing as the desert gathering, often seen as a state-of-pop-music coming out party, had an enormous amount of interesting and often great stories and sets over the course of three days. The biggest takeaway, trend-wise, is that international music has clearly cemented its place in the pop stratosphere; Friday night’s headliner Bad Bunny performed nearly his entire Friday headline set, including the intros and interstitials, in Spanish, while K-Pop superstars Blackpink blew away haters with a tightly choreographed, jaw-dropping Saturday night performance.

and influencers have risen to the challenge of bringing bold looks to the highly anticipated event.Lele Pons, a Venezuelan and American YouTuber who got her social media start on Vine before its closure in 2016, teamed up with fellow internet personality Hannah Stocking.The pair both wore varying shades of blue denim shorts and high-hair looks.But, the attention-grabbing piece on their outfits was their tops, with Lele wearing a silver top that looked akin to a suit of armor or melted candle wax.Hannah wore a matching version, but this time opted for a gold color.One social media called the outfit “drippy” while another said it was their favorite look out of the music festival so far.Another added: “How were those tops made? I need to know!”Bad Bunny, Blackpink and Frank Ocean are set to headline, with other musical acts such as Blink-182, Gorillaz, Blondie, The Chemical Brothers, The Kid Laroi, Björk and Calvin Harris also making an appearance.The glammed-up cowboy look appeared to be the choice of many attendees, with one woman wearing a tan hat, a blue bikini top and skirt featuring fringing with gold boots to finish.Another woman, with pink plaits in her hair, wore tan boots, a black hat, leopard print shorts and a top with the word “feral” written over it.Lele also embraced the “cowboy” trend seen on many attendees.She wore a cow print one piece with matching boots, completing the look with a brown hat and sunglasses.During the festival, another trend that seemed to seep through in many outfits was the use of fluoro yellow and green.One young woman, pictured taking a selfie on the grass surrounded by two of her friends, used bold colors in her mini skirt and bikini top combo.Another attendee matched their fluoro

Festivalgoers of Coachella 2023 have been left shocked over the prices for food and drink after one TikToker spent $64 on two coffees and two burritos at the festival. The star-studded festival, located in Indio, California, has returned for 2023 with headline performances from the likes of Frank Ocean, Blink 182, Gorlliaz, BLACKPINK, and Bad Bunny.

Frank Ocean closed out the first weekend of the 2023 Coachella Music Festival.

Frank Ocean closed the first weekend of Coachella 2023 on Sunday, April 16, with the elusive artist taking to the stage for the first time in over five years. Scroll down to see clips from the performance now. Wearing a blue sports jacket with the hood pulled up to partly obscure his face, Ocean opened with "Novacane," his 2011 debut single in which he sings about meeting a girl at Coachella.

Jeff Miller Sunday night’s Coachella-headlining performance by the enigmatic R&B star Frank Ocean was unquestionably the most highly-anticipated set of the festival: Ocean who had not performed live in nearly six years, was set to headline the fest in 2020 before the pandemic hit, and then again last year before he postponed it to 2023. Rumors swirled beforehand about the likelihood of new music (Ocean hasn’t released an album since 2016’s “Blonde”) the potential for a reunion with his Odd Future bandmates, and the odds of a performance as moving and revelatory as the last time Ocean played Southern California, at a near-universally lauded headlining set at the now defunct FYF festival during his brief tour in the summer of 2017.

Björk incorporated over 800 drones into her performance at Coachella 2023 yesterday (Sunday April 16). Check out footage of the moment below, along with the full setlist.The career-spanning set, which saw Björk perform with an orchestra conducted by Bjarni Frímann, prioritised “simplicity” – according the Icelandic singer – but also enlisted over 800 drones as a visual aid for the crowd.Initially, the set was scheduled to be livestreamed onto Coachella’s YouTube channel.

After he was originally set to headline Coachella in 2020 — before the pandemic shut that year down — Frank Ocean again returned to Indio on Sunday to headline the first weekend of this year’s star-studded music festival.

Frank Ocean confirmed that a new album is on the horizon during his Coachella headline set last night (Sunday April 16) – but that fans could be waiting a while to hear it.Ocean’s set, which was controversially removed from the livestream schedule at the last minute, saw the artist respond to fan’s speculation that his return to the stage after nearly six years meant that new music would be on way.“It’s been so long but I have missed you,” he began. “I wanna talk about why I’m here, ‘cos it’s not because of a new album – not that there’s not a new album – but there’s not right now.”He continued: “These last couple of years, my life changed so much and my brother and I came to this festival a lot.

It appears that a new album from Frank Ocean is on the way, even if it didn't drop just after his Coachella headline set like the internet assumed.
