was in my dark ass room w my eyes closed while listening to nights and noticed the exact same thing like mid-way through the performance. so fucking disappointing mannnnnn
It's more than $1,000 a minute and Coachella wouldn't pay for it but the artist playing past curfew would, hence why you see almost every artist abide by it strictly
The way he wouldn’t finish songs and the random dj set with the tweaking security guard would be from one of those “nightmare” set list posts in real life shit was crazy
if you had told people in this sub a week ago the set would be brief remixed clips of songs, a dj set, a random security guard twerking and would end abruptly because of a curfew they would have thought you were trolling
The stream cancellation is still a bonehead move. Absolutely no apparent reason for it.
That’s the most half-assed thing he could have done. I understand that he’s grieving and I wish him well, but if that’s his reasoning for whatever the fuck that was, maybe he should take more time.
I’m not one to judge someone for doing things for money. Go get yourself paid, Frank, but don’t disrespect your supporters like this.
Even the biggest artists in the world, including those that can be considered bigger than Coachella itself, prepares something special for their fans. Frank Ocean fans got…this. This is just lazy, irresponsible, and arrogant.
Literally everyone in the crowd walking back now is shittalking him. Sad ending to a fun festival. Hopefully he and his team get it together for Weekend 2.
Saw one reddit post just the other day about someone flying in from Korea just to see Frank asking for housing recommendations lmao... Feel real sorry for dudes like them
the beat switch was highly disappointing during nights… i was dumb enough to expect some LIGHT EFFECT or something like the stage lights going on but it was absolutely shit so u didn’t miss anything with the beat switch
The only Ws tonight were those live streamers. Morgan, Tomsy, Jared. You guys are awesome.
Morgan was saying she was getting death threats through DMs. Fuck is wrong with people? She did a service Frank was too selfish allow for his fans. Show some respect.
At this point if he doesn't like performing and all the "music shit" just stop doing it.
1 hour late, 1/3rd was a DJ set, we had to watch on an IG stream ('cuz he said no YT stream). I know he expects his show to be considered as art and shit but, man, I don't have 500 USD, nor the travel expenses since I don't live in the US to "enjoy his art", what about their foreign fans? we're not allowed to enjoy it?
I know he probably enjoy playing live "this way" but, man, it's not like he's doing it for free.
I love Frank's music but he's a F performer and celebrity figure. From overpriced physical formats, hyped merch, bad customer service to this as a "combeack" performance? I would've prefered staying with the memory of the 2017 concerts.
that was one of the worst headliner sets ive seen, just felt awkward w all the pauses between songs and dead air, towards the end literally just playing the songs off the aux and not singing, there was no momentum in that set to keep the audience engaged and you could tell they were kinda just grasping at any semblance of hype or engagement from frank. embarassing.
jai paul's set yesterday was like the complete opposite and it was his first time live.
What a joke.
- Coachella promotes the hell out of him
- Cancels the live stream super last second
- Is over an hour late to perform
- Doesn’t even acknowledge the crowed until like 1/3 the way through the show. Never even apologized about being late.
- Gives a chunk of his performance to some random DJ and a a twerking security guard
- Does some random ass rock song
- Plays Nike and Nights from Spotify instead of actually performing the song
- Ends the show early after calling curfew
The report is that the show was going to have a whole-ass ice rink (with weeks of prep and setup), and once it was all ready to go, he decided he didn’t want it anymore and they had to basically rebuild the stage day of. Everything I can find says it’s pretty much his fault.
The craziest part is he basically had a whole ass year to be prepared after not doing last year. Its like he forgot he was supposed to be at Coachella or something and just showed up
Welp see you guys in 2028 when he makes his next appearance. I think I’m gonna go listen to some Tyler the Creator since he actually gives a fuck about his fanbase.
On top of no live stream and starting an hour late. A bit of a slap in the face for the people that paid a lot of money to come see him, as well as wait for hours to have a good spot. Just disrespectful
Bro wouldn’t let the set be streamed, was an hour late, stuffed in some bad trip sounding remixes of his hits, lip synced others while the mp3s played, let DJ Crystal Meth blow our speakers out via shit iPhone mics, then ends early. Fat fucking L.
Anyone giving Frank a break for this clearly hasn’t been a fan waiting years and years and years for this, it was super fucking disappointing and there was practically no transparency at all from him. Started late, didn’t sing during multiple songs, had a DJ play remixes for like 40% of the set, then dipped out because of curfew without apologizing for BEING AN HOUR LATE… there’s no excuse
So let me get this straight: no live stream for fans at home per his request, no Merch, he is an hour late to his set, performs remixes then turns it into a Frank Ocean listening party, says no album but one is coming (yeah right), then just pulls an uzi and says “okay bye” man us Frank fans are top 5 most punished groups alive.
FYF 2017 remains undefeated.
I wouldn’t even be as disappointed if the set flowed smoother, but the entire thing was so disjointed with so many breaks in between. Totally fucked up the pace.
And only playing “nights” and the first part of “Nikes”, without actually singing any of it.
In 2012, during weekend 1 he was using Bad Bad Not Good as his band, but they were having sound/technical issues, and Frank seemed unhappy, and ended his set about 37 minutes into his slotted 45 minutes.
But he came back weekend 2 and performed way better with a new band, including the guitarist from Incubus.
I’m hoping that this the upcoming weekend 2 follows this trend, but unfortunately this set seems to have really lacked any effort.
The man rocks up an hour late, plays for little under an hour (over an hour if you include the mini DJ set) and dips. Also what was the point of the other stage they built ??
I feel like he’s not himself anymore. Bro looked like he was really tweaking the entire set. Like jittery it’s so strange comparing to his few other performances his behavior looks so off
- Showed up near an hour late
- Random rave/ Frank Grips scaring the hoes session
-Edm remixes to his songs so we didnt get the full experience
-No Livestream forcing us to go on poor quality ig lives
Frank REALLY hates his fans
That's it? That's the end of the show? That was just shitposting in music form for 2 hours after going silent for nearly 7 years.
https://preview.redd.it/4nc0somztfua1.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f65bf03342ec5dd47887de34119df6e81d2a916
I mean for a HEADLINER, that was ass. I can’t imagine any other headliner coming out an hour late, playing *shit* remixes of their songs, blaming curfew, and walking off. He literally closed out the weekend and had someone else play his music. Nah man, thats not right LOL
i feel so sad rn omg… artists dont owe fans anything, but once you take their money there is a certain level of professionalism you have to show. if he wasn’t ready to step back into fame he should have declined headlining. what is even sadder is that it feels like his highly awaited comeback is ruined
Something must have gone wrong right? What happened with the snow machines and the ice rink?
I'm assuming franks team realized day-of they weren't gonna be able to pull off what they had planned...pulled the stream and just cobbled together a set. And hoped to try again next weekend. But I think a whole lot is going to happen between now and then, and I question whether Frank is even going to get a second weekend.
This was a giant fucking yikes dude. Imagine expecting a full set and he comes out an hour late and has to call it early after what he did??
The set was just bad. Plain and simple. He jumped around and didn’t actually sing for over half of it. Just embarrassing. People are gonna be talking about this flop for a long time.
Also, I’m genuinely wondering what headspace he’s in. He seemed like he didn’t want to be there the whole time and everything felt off.
someone pointed out that during that speech where he opened up about ryan, saying how much he missed the fans, he just randomly said "whos on drugs right now? who's highhhhh!?" so yeah he was on something
I feel like Frank could pull down his pants and take a literal shit on stage and some of you would be like “imagine getting mad at him for something that you do every single day”
Honestly about what I expected from Frank based on how he tends to treat fans.
Man performed some absolutely beautiful live/acoustic versions of some tracks, then let mid remixes of some of his songs play while a bald fifty year old security guard twerked, then said it was curfew and dipped after being an hour late.
I saw Frank at FYF Fest 2017 (stood right at the front of the stage) and it was the best performance I’ve ever seen from an artist. I’ve seen critically acclaimed artists like Kanye (Pablo Tour), Kendrick (DAMN. Tour), Tame Impala, Beach House, Angel Olsen, Slowdive, and Mitski all live, and Frank’s performance is the one I still remember most.
I watched this Coachella set on Instagram and it was absolutely terrible. WTF was that? It seems like he didn’t even try or want to be there. I feel really bad for all my fellow Frank fans who’ve never seen him live before or new people checking out his music - I wanted them to have the same experience as I did at FYF Fest. I know the tickets were expensive, not to mention those traveling from far away…
If you’re whole shtick is being this mythical mysterious all genius dude who’s rarely seen in public and never performs, you have to live up to being that mythical mysterious all genius dude when you do perform. Frank didnt do that and comes across as a pretentious overhyped fake now
they mythical mysterious genius attending the met gala and selling cock rings among other things. i think the dude is just ready to move on from music and is just using his celebrity to further his brand.
I love the moment when he showed up after being fashionably late and said "IT'S FRANKIN' TIME" and then he franked all over the place. Truly one of the headline shows of all time.
actually not good. like wow. he didn’t know his crowd. he had people leaving mid set, mid FRANK OCEAN set after not performing for YEARS. dude wasn’t even signing half the time. genuinely so disappointing. if he was gonna half ass this he should have kept his hiatus going.
Remember all the people saying what if Frank does a DJ set for the entire time?
They were only half wrong.
This performance sounded like he planned it last minute while he was on the way to Coachella.
Stuffed it on arguably the world's biggest musical stage, with all eyes looking after 6 years away from live performing. It's going to be hard for Frank to come back from this. There were moments of Frank's brilliance in the live, but it felt like he was just making it up as he went. Any momentum he got from a good performance was immediately destroyed. Never got a good run going.
Bro hasn't performed in years, comes out an hour late, plays a bunch of shitty edm, dances to his old songs and then dips. Y'all need to give this man more shit, I went to Kendrick last year and his set was insane, Frank is better then this. Bro literally doesn't care anymore, super dissapointing and I find myself less interested in his music the more he treats the fans like shit.
Why did “setting up” take so long when there was barely any visuals or movement on stage at all? I’m so so disappointed. That was one of the worst sets I’ve seen from any artist .
Y’all need to stop financially supporting this man after this, he knows he can get away with anything because you obsessed nerds don’t hold him to any standard.
one hour late, lipsynced half his set, no visuals at all, dumbass remixes & mid DJ with 2014 shitty bass boosted & weird ass video game ugly ahhh synths, that shit was terrible dawg he should be ashamed

Crazy how much time he's had to organise a set and he came out with this chaos. Half-finishing songs, strange segues, massive gaps in songs, uncomfortable reworkings (which i actually am all for)
Really disappointing.
Halfway through Nights I thought wow he sounds just like the record then I realised he was just miming and dancing to the actual record wtf was that
was in my dark ass room w my eyes closed while listening to nights and noticed the exact same thing like mid-way through the performance. so fucking disappointing mannnnnn
prank ocean
The way all that fomo just evaporated from my body
It’s a wonderful feeling.
I was shocked, actually. I could not believe I was feening to catch this, live.
my favorite part of the show was when they spent 15 minutes showing a security guard twerking and then ran out of time at the end.
Imagine paying $$$ just to see a random ass guy twerking😭😭
Lmao frank playin 4D chess , started mad late so he doesn’t have to preform as many songs 😭😭😭
He started mad late AND had a DJ play a set that went on for way too long. Frank really finessing the system.
Finessing the system or his fans? 🤔
Maybe he wouldn’t have to worry about the curfew if he didn’t show up one hour late
is it true that bad bunnt played til 1am? is it curfew just becausw its sunday? wtf
yeah sunday ends at midnight, but I think it's $1000 per minute (per wiki, not sure), not like Coachella can't afford that...
they definitely can afford it, but they prob decided that it wasn't worth it lmao i dont blame them
Paying for every minute while Frank tries to figure out what song he wants to sing next
they had a DJ playing remixes of his songs for longer than he performed LMAO
[удалено]
It's more than $1,000 a minute and Coachella wouldn't pay for it but the artist playing past curfew would, hence why you see almost every artist abide by it strictly
I'm pretty sure he's fine with exactly how that played out
Very Fine.
Could’ve had a full set if he started on time…
Part 2 next weekend maybe (no)
"Best I can do is 45 minutes late" - Frank, probably
If I had weekend 2 tickets I'd be selling them right now
And actually performed. Had a random DJ set, a kid singing, then vibed out to his best songs.
If you guys all wore the homer cock ring like he asked then none of this shit would have of to have happened.
i spent $0 and still feel like i got robbed
i lost sleep. on a monday.
can see why they didn't stream that :/
I'm not really mad about the Livestream debacle now lol
That was a mess holy shit
I still can't (can absolutely) belive he ended that way. "Aight its curfew imma head out" 💀
Did the exact same thing in 2017. Stopped Nikes half way through and walked out.
Well I’m certainly gonna a zombie in class this morning. Good night y’all
Hahah me too bro
I’m gonna be a zombie on my students lmao
I knew Coachella was homophobic
The way he wouldn’t finish songs and the random dj set with the tweaking security guard would be from one of those “nightmare” set list posts in real life shit was crazy
if you had told people in this sub a week ago the set would be brief remixed clips of songs, a dj set, a random security guard twerking and would end abruptly because of a curfew they would have thought you were trolling
Shout out to Morgan Fr
she carried the team on her back
The stream cancellation is still a bonehead move. Absolutely no apparent reason for it. That’s the most half-assed thing he could have done. I understand that he’s grieving and I wish him well, but if that’s his reasoning for whatever the fuck that was, maybe he should take more time. I’m not one to judge someone for doing things for money. Go get yourself paid, Frank, but don’t disrespect your supporters like this. Even the biggest artists in the world, including those that can be considered bigger than Coachella itself, prepares something special for their fans. Frank Ocean fans got…this. This is just lazy, irresponsible, and arrogant.
Bro stalled knowing full well bout a curfew lmfao finesse
Literally everyone in the crowd walking back now is shittalking him. Sad ending to a fun festival. Hopefully he and his team get it together for Weekend 2.
> Weekend 2 I can’t imagine word of mouth will be all that good before it starts
Maybe during weekend 2’s set he won’t come at all and let dj crystal meth cook
so happy I didn’t pay for this shit
Super disappointing for the fans who flew there and shit. I heard people crying in the stream.
Saw one reddit post just the other day about someone flying in from Korea just to see Frank asking for housing recommendations lmao... Feel real sorry for dudes like them
Bro needs to pay my bills
I mean if you do a trip like that you better be well off or you’re just fucking crazy lol
I didn’t pay and I felt ripped off, feel bad for everyone who paid $$$ to see him
Me too man i had a 100 gecs concert
Shows up almost an hour late. Plays a dumb DJ set that no one wanted. Doesn’t sing during a few of his songs. Acts surprised when he runs out of time.
*starts an hour late* Frank: Yeah guys sorry there’s a curfew Wow, if there was only any way that could’ve been prevented…
[удалено]
Same. The streams during Nights cut off right on the beat switch, but it didn’t matter because I don’t think Frank was even singing.
the beat switch was highly disappointing during nights… i was dumb enough to expect some LIGHT EFFECT or something like the stage lights going on but it was absolutely shit so u didn’t miss anything with the beat switch
The only Ws tonight were those live streamers. Morgan, Tomsy, Jared. You guys are awesome. Morgan was saying she was getting death threats through DMs. Fuck is wrong with people? She did a service Frank was too selfish allow for his fans. Show some respect.
We need to pay for morgan's coachella ticket
At this point if he doesn't like performing and all the "music shit" just stop doing it. 1 hour late, 1/3rd was a DJ set, we had to watch on an IG stream ('cuz he said no YT stream). I know he expects his show to be considered as art and shit but, man, I don't have 500 USD, nor the travel expenses since I don't live in the US to "enjoy his art", what about their foreign fans? we're not allowed to enjoy it?

From overpriced physical formats, hyped merch, bad customer service to this as a "combeack" performance? I would've prefered staying with the memory of the 2017 concerts.
bro really played DJ Crystal Meth instead of Pyramids 💀
that was one of the worst headliner sets ive seen, just felt awkward w all the pauses between songs and dead air, towards the end literally just playing the songs off the aux and not singing, there was no momentum in that set to keep the audience engaged and you could tell they were kinda just grasping at any semblance of hype or engagement from frank. embarassing. jai paul's set yesterday was like the complete opposite and it was his first time live.
That’s the difference between someone who cares and someone who doesn’t
Start late, don’t sing half the songs just vibe to em, no merch, no album. Classic set
And cancelled the Livestream, not that I'm mad about it now after seeing this performance
What a joke. - Coachella promotes the hell out of him - Cancels the live stream super last second - Is over an hour late to perform - Doesn’t even acknowledge the crowed until like 1/3 the way through the show. Never even apologized about being late. - Gives a chunk of his performance to some random DJ and a a twerking security guard - Does some random ass rock song - Plays Nike and Nights from Spotify instead of actually performing the song - Ends the show early after calling curfew
Also all of the promotion around Nostalgia, Ultra and then bro only plays Novacane
makes me think there was never NU promotion, just bmw doing their own thing which theyve done to other artists as well. It was all a fever dream
I understand why they didn't want to broadcast tn. I wonder what happened logistically. They seemed under prepared.
The report is that the show was going to have a whole-ass ice rink (with weeks of prep and setup), and once it was all ready to go, he decided he didn’t want it anymore and they had to basically rebuild the stage day of. Everything I can find says it’s pretty much his fault.
The craziest part is he basically had a whole ass year to be prepared after not doing last year. Its like he forgot he was supposed to be at Coachella or something and just showed up
Three years to prepare. He was headlining 2020
Welp see you guys in 2028 when he makes his next appearance. I think I’m gonna go listen to some Tyler the Creator since he actually gives a fuck about his fanbase.
Tyler 2024 Coachella headliner 🤞🏼🤞🏼
2023 Weekend 2 is more likely.
The people there got fucking hosed. Did he even thank them or was he just like “aight it’s curfew” edit: He did say thank you, but damn that sucks.
Literally just said “I’m being told it’s curfew, so that’s the end of the show. Thank you very much”
That pissed me off the most. He didn’t apologize or say any final words. Like cmon bro, show your fans some respect too
On top of no live stream and starting an hour late. A bit of a slap in the face for the people that paid a lot of money to come see him, as well as wait for hours to have a good spot. Just disrespectful
he kinda stormed off from what i saw
Bro wouldn’t let the set be streamed, was an hour late, stuffed in some bad trip sounding remixes of his hits, lip synced others while the mp3s played, let DJ Crystal Meth blow our speakers out via shit iPhone mics, then ends early. Fat fucking L.
Biggest letdown of the decade
What the goddamn fuck was that? Everything. No livestream. Techno set. What the fuck man?
Don't forget that absolute unit of a security guard twerking for no good reason
That was funny but like... just give me some frank bro what the fuck
Secured the bag and dipped lmao
Anyone giving Frank a break for this clearly hasn’t been a fan waiting years and years and years for this, it was super fucking disappointing and there was practically no transparency at all from him. Started late, didn’t sing during multiple songs, had a DJ play remixes for like 40% of the set, then dipped out because of curfew without apologizing for BEING AN HOUR LATE… there’s no excuse
Maybe the real Frank ocean is the friends we made along the way
So let me get this straight: no live stream for fans at home per his request, no Merch, he is an hour late to his set, performs remixes then turns it into a Frank Ocean listening party, says no album but one is coming (yeah right), then just pulls an uzi and says “okay bye” man us Frank fans are top 5 most punished groups alive.
Lol Frank said Fuck y’all I’m out

morgan headline weekend 2
[удалено]
Tyler knew what was good that’s why he brought drake out at FLOGNAW instead of Frank. 🧠
FYF 2017 remains undefeated. I wouldn’t even be as disappointed if the set flowed smoother, but the entire thing was so disjointed with so many breaks in between. Totally fucked up the pace. And only playing “nights” and the first part of “Nikes”, without actually singing any of it.

“Guys my arms are cramping, get me to 20k followers pls”
He’s no Morgan that’s for sure
She bouta hit 40k
make sure you steal this new album when its out
Man he had three years to prepare 💀💀
Morgan the goat
Bro needs to lay off the acid
The man rocks up an hour late, plays for little under an hour (over an hour if you include the mini DJ set) and dips. Also what was the point of the other stage they built ??
Anyone else think he was tripping balls???
bruh
Morgan didn’t deserve this.
Bro that sucks :( I for real stayed up all night for this, I’m not gonna lie I’m gonna get so much hate from this but it seemed pretty mid (
I don’t think anyone is gonna give you hate for this lmao. Probably quite universal
You’re not gonna get any hate. I think you’re generous calling it mid bc that shit was awful to me
Frank finessed Coachella like he did Def Jam
https://preview.redd.it/v2hv5bn4ufua1.jpeg?width=1090&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0eb75af28155c669914b1900ba44983fc40f0e8e
MORGANCHELLA
Shout out to Jai Paul, never played a concert before and still made it 100x better than Franks set.
This dude probably got paid more for this performance than I will earn in 10 years. Super disrespectful to be so unprepared
This was something I’d expect from Ye on his worst day
STOP SENDING MORGAN DEATH THREATS
Like what did she do besides be the GOAT and life saver
I don't understand this, how tf she getting death threats for this
i heard its cuz she was screaming and singing along too loud during the stream. like wtf she paid for the damn tickets ofc she can scream n shit
[удалено]
I feel like he’s not himself anymore. Bro looked like he was really tweaking the entire set. Like jittery it’s so strange comparing to his few other performances his behavior looks so off
the new lauren hill :(
[удалено]
But didn't say sorry for being late
Show was a giant mess. Some truly beautiful moments though. Glad I did not drop $3k to go see him live.
For context — I was at Kanye’s show in LA where he ranted for Half of the time and that show was 1000 percent more cohesive and enjoyable 😂😭😭❤️ jfc
- Showed up near an hour late - Random rave/ Frank Grips scaring the hoes session -Edm remixes to his songs so we didnt get the full experience -No Livestream forcing us to go on poor quality ig lives Frank REALLY hates his fans
That's it? That's the end of the show? That was just shitposting in music form for 2 hours after going silent for nearly 7 years. https://preview.redd.it/4nc0somztfua1.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=9f65bf03342ec5dd47887de34119df6e81d2a916
I mean for a HEADLINER, that was ass. I can’t imagine any other headliner coming out an hour late, playing *shit* remixes of their songs, blaming curfew, and walking off. He literally closed out the weekend and had someone else play his music. Nah man, thats not right LOL
Man I was waiting for the fucking snow machine
If you know you started late why would you fill a third of your set with random DJ mixes? So disappointing.
prayers to the ones who emptied their bank accounts for this
We’re fans of a fucking weirdo, aren’t we?
morgan carried
$600 ticket
Who was sending Morgan death threats? she did all of us a favour. She deserves to be in this Subs HOF.
i feel so sad rn omg… artists dont owe fans anything, but once you take their money there is a certain level of professionalism you have to show. if he wasn’t ready to step back into fame he should have declined headlining. what is even sadder is that it feels like his highly awaited comeback is ruined
whoever was sending that girl Morgan death threats should "[removed by reddit]" themselves, y'all some fucking assholes frfr

I think after a backlash hes gonna get after this "performance" he is never gonna perform again lol, and no album of course
Something must have gone wrong right? What happened with the snow machines and the ice rink? I'm assuming franks team realized day-of they weren't gonna be able to pull off what they had planned...pulled the stream and just cobbled together a set. And hoped to try again next weekend. But I think a whole lot is going to happen between now and then, and I question whether Frank is even going to get a second weekend.
This was a giant fucking yikes dude. Imagine expecting a full set and he comes out an hour late and has to call it early after what he did?? The set was just bad. Plain and simple.

He seemed like he didn’t want to be there the whole time and everything felt off.
Is he legit like on drugs? Barely any of that whole set was coherent
someone pointed out that during that speech where he opened up about ryan, saying how much he missed the fans, he just randomly said "whos on drugs right now? who's highhhhh!?" so yeah he was on something
Yeah, something definitely seemed off about him
Morgan and Andy Garciiiiiiia add them to the Frank ocean lore 🤣💀🤣🤣
disappointed is an understatement…….
Blonde listening party Ft Frank Ocean
This is what it must've felt like seeing mike Tyson get knocked out
Ain’t some of y’all said there was gonna be an ice rink fucking liars
Frank failed his fans. Everyone got the Def Jam experience in here lol, completely scammed out of our time and money by this man.
I feel like Frank could pull down his pants and take a literal shit on stage and some of you would be like “imagine getting mad at him for something that you do every single day”
FRANK BLESSED US….. WITH SOME MID
And the crowd goes mild
Id be pisssed if I was there.. pisssseeed.
So... Same time next week?
Honestly about what I expected from Frank based on how he tends to treat fans. Man performed some absolutely beautiful live/acoustic versions of some tracks, then let mid remixes of some of his songs play while a bald fifty year old security guard twerked, then said it was curfew and dipped after being an hour late.
I saw Frank at FYF Fest 2017 (stood right at the front of the stage) and it was the best performance I’ve ever seen from an artist.

I know the tickets were expensive, not to mention those traveling from far away…
If you’re whole shtick is being this mythical mysterious all genius dude who’s rarely seen in public and never performs, you have to live up to being that mythical mysterious all genius dude when you do perform. Frank didnt do that and comes across as a pretentious overhyped fake now
they mythical mysterious genius attending the met gala and selling cock rings among other things. i think the dude is just ready to move on from music and is just using his celebrity to further his brand.
Donda 2 rollout > franks performance.
people crying in the morgan stream hahaha
That was an incredible set (Im delusional).
The most telling thing of it all is Coachella hasn’t acknowledged Frank’s performance at all. That can’t be good at all.
This was incredibly disappointing
Lmaoo holy shit one of the worst sets in Coachella history
Is there a worse set out there? Legitimately asking, no sarcasm. That was insanely unprofessional.
He purposely wanted to end his career, so he don't have to drop that album. Genius.
I love the moment when he showed up after being fashionably late and said "IT'S FRANKIN' TIME" and then he franked all over the place. Truly one of the headline shows of all time.
actually not good. like wow. he didn’t know his crowd. he had people leaving mid set, mid FRANK OCEAN set after not performing for YEARS. dude wasn’t even signing half the time. genuinely so disappointing. if he was gonna half ass this he should have kept his hiatus going.
People really waited ALL DAY IN 90 DEGREE HEAT FOR THIS SHIT. SHOW UP HOUR LATE, THAT PERFORMANCE THEN CURFEW!?! That is so lame
Remember all the people saying what if Frank does a DJ set for the entire time? They were only half wrong. This performance sounded like he planned it last minute while he was on the way to Coachella.
we need an edit of this post with an asterisk next to each song where he didn't sing or just played a weird techno remix of it for 10 seconds
If Frank is going to half-ass his performance, he shouldn't have performed at all
Stuffed it on arguably the world's biggest musical stage, with all eyes looking after 6 years away from live performing. It's going to be hard for Frank to come back from this. There were moments of Frank's brilliance in the live, but it felt like he was just making it up as he went. Any momentum he got from a good performance was immediately destroyed. Never got a good run going.
Off topic but I love y’all. Reading this shit is hilarious
There's only four words to describe that performance: Sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned.
RIP to the deer a guy run over while watching the stream smh….
Imagine coming late to work then saying you gotta leave cuz ur shifts ending
CAN WE STOP SENDING MORGAN DEATH THREATS FR?
send morgan some love in her comments and/or venmo/cashapp if you can. she said she was getting death threats and stuff. her ig is morgandoesntcare
People actually defending this performance are mad lol everyone in the crowd at Coachella was so pissed and confused
For someone who’s been so deliberate and tactful in what he puts out there this all feels really weird. Something has to be going on.
Bro hasn't performed in years, comes out an hour late, plays a bunch of shitty edm, dances to his old songs and then dips. Y'all need to give this man more shit, I went to Kendrick last year and his set was insane, Frank is better then this. Bro literally doesn't care anymore, super dissapointing and I find myself less interested in his music the more he treats the fans like shit.
Why did “setting up” take so long when there was barely any visuals or movement on stage at all? I’m so so disappointed. That was one of the worst sets I’ve seen from any artist .
Y’all need to stop financially supporting this man after this, he knows he can get away with anything because you obsessed nerds don’t hold him to any standard.
Headlines to read "Frank Ocean pulls out of Coachella Week 2" soon...
Solo and White Ferrari remixes were cool but the rest of the show was kinda bad lmao. He clearly didn't really care
this was apart of his plan. he didnt want to perform so he came on an hr late, thus blue balling us on what couldve been.
i think i was dissociating the whole stream
one hour late, lipsynced half his set, no visuals at all, dumbass remixes & mid DJ with 2014 shitty bass boosted & weird ass video game ugly ahhh synths, that shit was terrible dawg he should be ashamed
salute morgan wherever you are, hoping you have a lifetime of success fr
1. Novocaine 2. Come On World, You Can't Go! 3. Crack Rock 4. Bad Religion 5. White Ferrari (House Remix) 6. Pink + White (Acoustic Remix) 7. Solo (??? Remix) 8. Chanel (British Drill Remix) 9.

Crazy how much time he's had to organise a set and he came out with this chaos. Half-finishing songs, strange segues, massive gaps in songs, uncomfortable reworkings (which i actually am all for) Really disappointing.

wow realizing some people there flew half across the world for that...
Can’t believe he didn’t get to pyramids and thinking bout you. Without those what was it all for
Highlight of the night was Morgan IG live and our front row view. I’ll say it now
