Letemtalk Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Lorde performed on the main stage at Coachella in 2017 which was livestreamed and I'm sure her Glastonbury performances in 2017 and 2022 were on the BBC streaming. So yes, I'm sure she would agree to the livestream. From what I heard Coachella didn't sell out this year, is that true? Perhaps the Coachella festival organisers aren't going to be too bothered if Frank gives some people an extra incentive to turn up for weekend two and for next year.

Siberian Siren Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 His set was a disaster. Last year during the first weekend, The Weeknd also went over curfew on Sunday but was like "**** it" and put on a great show to end the weekend and it was an epic time for all of us to end the festival. Frank probably wanted to leave anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy_b Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) His set was a disaster and he actually got booed near the end of the show. He didn’t even bother to put any effort into it, a large portion of his songs came straight from a recording and he didn’t even hold a microphone during it. I hope he’s doing fine… Edited April 17, 2023 by timothy_b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 why even say yes when you know you're not going to put effort into it? such a shame for everyone who paid money to see this mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45seconds Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 9 hours ago, 99sandthe2000s said: the fan footage will hit the TL soon enough but honestly Coachella should make it mandatory. I don't see why many artists would opt out of it, it often pulls in new listeners and an increase in streaming/sales to your overall discography. Well for artists like Frank, numbers are irrelevant to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris1991 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) He’s good but overrated….he still needs to deliver more material before he becomes a true legend icon Why is he even the main headliner? His music is literally not festival type….it’s very slow Edited April 17, 2023 by chris1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imabadkid Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 9 hours ago, elevate said: I find this mystery / intrigue stuff to be a very explicit marketing tactic and overall tacky. He has talent and should rely on that. His artistry will not be rewarded by events like this because others will just replace him, and maybe they should. yeah I genuinely like his music but it's getting a bit tired and old atp.

Like others have said, he's not the best performer and he's obviously aware of that. It's actually been a reason IMO why he's pivoted towards mystery post-coming out rather than run at the spotlight. They definitely tried to go big with him with Channel Orange and it was clear he couldn't adequately meet the moment as a live performing artist at that time. So, his approach thereafter has been "less is more" and more intrigue, let the music do the talking (and performing lol). A bit pretentious, but much better than having a bunch of mid-bad performances for people to dissect and drag him for. It definitely makes me long for the days where all the popular artists people gagged over could hold their own live (rather than all this coddling and "'doesn't matter if they can't perform live" excuses the stans of today make. See: Rihanna Superbowl). But it is what it is. It was the right move, all things considered. yeah but "less is more" only work for super huge artist. Frank is big but imo not big enough to pull of the enigma-mystery act. hence why people are complaining of how awful his set was. you have to work your way up to that, Beyonce didn't go that route until she had been in the biz like 15 years... Frank isn't at that point yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxoonlight Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I’m not going to ride his balls because I haven’t really checked for him since 2017, but it’s kind of crazy to me that these people who don’t listen to anything but mega mainstream are still ravenous for him when there are plenty of alternative artists that make the music he does. I feel like the people who really connected with what he was doing in the early 2010’s have largely moved on and it’s just locals kind of left waiting for him.

He wants to keep things simple. Y'all might love it or hate it, but it is what it is. Stop thinking everyone should promote the f*ck out of their music, not everyone has to do everything the same way. And btw, he said during the set that he's not doing this for promo. He's doing it as a tribute to his brother. Edited April 17, 2023 by getBusy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
