The Canadian artist faced technical difficulties about 20 minutes into her 50-minute set, with tracks reportedly playing at double their intended tempo.
During the live stream from Coachella, she could be heard expressing frustration: “Sorry! We’re experiencing a major technical difficulty, trying to sync… I’m not great at math for this, but here we go.”
Blamed on a fault with Rekordbox, Grimes’ repeated apologies and struggles to sync have led to her Sahara Stage performance being labeled as one of Coachella’s worst.
Following the set, Grimes took to Twitter to apologize and assure fans that such issues won’t occur during her second Coachella show next weekend.
“I will personally organize all the files next week. I will not let this happen again,” she promised.
“I’ve dedicated months to this show, creating music and visuals, and although I’m not in the best mood right now, next week will be flawless. Everything will go through my hands.”
