Frank makes a comeback after six years of silence. Many fans were disappointed by the “poor” performance.

Frank Ocean’s Coachella performance in the past month has made a huge impact on many music fans all over America, some say for the worst.

Coachella is a music festival that takes place in Indio, California annually. It is one of the most popular music festivals in the world and attracts many visitors from all over the globe. The festival usually takes place over two weekends in April and features a diverse lineup of artists from different genres, including rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic music.

Apart from the music, Coachella is also known for its fashion. People often dress up in bohemian-style outfits, flower crowns, and face jewels. The festival also features art installations, food vendors, and other activities.

One of the most unique things about Coachella is the atmosphere. It’s a place where people can come together to enjoy music, art, and fashion, and have a good time. It’s a place where people can be themselves and express themselves freely. Coachella is not just a music festival, it’s an experience that people will remember for a long time.

Coachella attracted around 125,000 people this year due to its lineup of very popular and talented artists such as BLACKPINK, Bad Bunny, Rosalia, Becky G. and many others. The public was very surprised when Coachella announced Frank Ocean’s appearance at the festival.

Frank Ocean is a highly acclaimed R&B artist who had previously performed at Coachella various times. His performances are always highly anticipated by his fanbase, and he usually never disappoints. He is loved for his soulful voice and intro perspective lyrics. His performances always touch the audience in a special way.

Apart from Coachella this year, Frank’s last performance was in 2017, and the Pandemic had postponed his long awaited 2020 tour for another three years. This is why fans nationwide were so eager to see him this year in April.

Unfortunately, the performance has made negative publicity these past weeks. Many people who attended his performance described it as “a catastrophe” and “uneasy.”

Frank’s performance began almost an hour late, upsetting the tired crowd that had previously been waiting at the gates for hours, some since 8 a.m. hoping to get a close spot next to the set. The set consisted of a huge ice rink that was meant to hold a performance that skaters had been rehearsing for for months.

The crowd was surprised and confused when a group of people began walking in a “robotic manner” up and down the stage for 10 minutes. It is now revealed that Frank had made a last minute decision that he did not in fact want the skaters performing anymore and had threatened that he would simply not go on stage unless the skaters did not do their recital.

As Frank began to sing his songs, the crowd almost instantly buzzed with excitement and joy considering this was his first public performance in six years. The bliss of the crowd almost instantly fell back into confusion when Frank began simply dancing on stage with a pre-recorded track of his songs in the background. A fan stated that “It was basically just a sing-along, he didn’t even have a mic in his hand. He was just hopping all over the stage making us listen to his recorded music.”

“He only performed for a total of thirty minutes and only did three of his popular songs. The biggest thing was, he never came out. He was behind the screen the whole entire time. By half the show, it was half empty already. People were leaving the entire time. I’m not saying like it was bad…but people feel very scammed today,” stated a famous tik tok era in a viral video describing his experience at the concert.

Many fans that left the concert tweeted and posted on Instagram and other socials about how Frank’s concert was a “scam” and how they feel used and disappointed. Many say that the price that they paid of hundreds and even thousands of dollars to see Frank was simply a waste of money considering he left the stage after 30 minutes.

As if that was not enough to rile up the fanbase, Frank announced that he would not be performing the next weekend due to an alleged leg injury. Fans are fired up considering he was supposed to be one of the headliners for the next weekend and was replaced by a smaller, underground artist.

Rumors continue to spread, saying that he pulled out of the performance due to the bad feedback but others simply say that he just simply wasn’t ready to perform after the six years. “He is not a performer, he is just an artist. He doesn’t owe us an amazing performance. He just releases insane music that everyone loves and we should feel satisfied with that,” a fan defends Frank against the fueled TikTok’s posted about his performance.

At the end of the day, Frank is still an accomplished artist with a bright future in the music industry. One bad performance does not sum up his potential and value and he has time to get back on his feet after Coachella 2023.
