Grimes screams as technical difficulties hamper Coachella set

Grimes screamed as technical difficulties hampered her Coachella set on Saturday (13 April).

The musician, 36, real name Claire Boucher, became frustrated as songs played at double speed.

Taking to X/Twitter to apologise after her performance, Grimes said a lesson for her was to "probably pretend it's fine and engage [with] the crowd rather than spend a whole show slumped over the desk trying to fix software when [you're] meant to be entertaining."

Grimes insisted her forthcoming show at Coachella’s second weekend will be "flawless."
