Grimes‘ Coachella performance didn’t go as planned … plagued by constant stoppages she blamed on technical difficulties — before she let off several frustrated shrieks.
The singer-songwriter took the stage on Saturday night out in Indio, CA, presumably ready to bring the house down … though ultimately she couldn’t keep the music up.
Check out the clip … Grmies’ show on the Sahara Stage is moving along just fine before an incorrectly timed transition throws the musician into a bit of a tailspin.
She tells the audience it’s hard to explain what exactly’s happening, but she basically says her show’s having a major technical issue … before adding she can’t fix a tempo problem because she isn’t great at math.
It’s a little bizarre … but, basically, it sounds like the transitions are coming too fast for her to predict — causing changes she’s just not expecting.
Ultimately, the concert goes on for a little while longer … until something major sets Grimes off and she chucks down her headphones in disgust. She no longer tries to explain the issue but simply belts off a few anguished cries.
It’s a sad — somewhat awkward — moment, and you can’t help but feel for Grimes here … ’cause she obviously wanted to put on a great show for her fans.

And, it’s clearly hittin’ her hard … ’cause Grimes posted to X early this morning, apologizing for the technical issues with her show she says happened because she outsourced some of the work instead of doing it herself. She promises a better performance next week — adding she’ll handle everything herself this time.
You know what they say, if at first you don’t succeed try, try at Coachella Weekend 2 … good luck, Grimes!!!
