Indio, CA @ Coachella: Weekend 1 - April 12th, 2024

[Pink Flamingo 17,145]

Well here is my review.

 

1. the entrance and exit was the most iconic thing she could have done, at that moment she looked like a superstar. 
2. The performance with Billie was beautiful, and Billie SHINED.
3. The microphone sucked, honestly. I've read comments saying it sounded great live. I feel like it's the mic problem that hurt the whole atmosphere.
4. The set list definitely could have been better..... It's coachella and she should keep the crowd upbeat and happy, plus I feel like there wasn't much energy in her voice. Sometimes she served vocals (when the microphone felt like working)
5. SHE LOOKED BEAUTIFUL, FOR A MOMENT I THOUGHT IT WAS 2012. 

6. she should've mentioned LASSO (we still have weekend two)

 

All in all I feel like this was a stand out show, but at the same time it felt like another Lana show, especially with the repeated setlist, I feel like she could have done so much more and made this the best show of her career.

Now why are people saying one of the background singers looked pissed? Can someone pinpoint when that was? I have a huntch the energy was off for everyone on stage. 

I only say Lana mad dogging a backup singer who did a solo. She was SHOOK that she was upstaged.

Literally lmao y’all around here are being so negative about a show that was really good

I hope y’all eat your words and the critics/magazines/articles shower her with praise so y’all can shut up. And even if they don’t, who cares? 
 

i mean it’s more in context w the fact that it’s coachella hyping her up and lana saying “yes” in regards to ben saying there would be multiple new songs and multiple guests rumor on instagram

and then her starting off w a remix of kehlanis gangsta  with jealous girl… opening with without you, doing only part of west coast and then going into mainly slow piano ballads for the entire rest of the show with a little jimmy jimmy cocoa puff surprise thrown in only at the very end

and whatever was going on with that shabby microphone/sound engineering the entire time (which isn’t lanas fault)

outside that it was a really great show and the set and her look was beautiful but i think there were a lot of high expectations for her to do something bolder or new

side note: her look tonight reminded me so much of blue banisters video

Candy necklace was the best part of the concert

The Independent you will always be famous. 

 

Lana Del Rey was joined by Billie Eilish and Jon Batiste during her rapturously received and beautifully staged headline performance on the Friday night of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2024.

The only thing that really pissed me off is the crowd being so low but then singing loudly to Ocean Eyes like ☠️☠️☠️ that was just cringe for me

 

Obviously, a crowd of that many doesn't know songs like The Grants, Bartender, Chemtrails, Candy Necklace, Arcadia, Hope and Burnt Norton - can you blame them???

 

She shot herself in the foot with the set list.

 

I bet you when Ocean Eyes came on - a song the crowd actually knows - everyone was relieved.

 

I still can't believe that she chose, like 500 songs people have literally never heard of.

I saw Ocean Blvd. live last summer and this background singer did the same thing then, pretty sure this little bit is planned. What I meant was that people were saying that one of them looked pissed during or after Candy Necklace...

I didn’t see that at all. They definitely smiled at lana a few times (genuinely) and Lana kept pointing to them/directing attention so I imagine they feel appreciated. I think they were just serving face

Yeah, I think it was just shots where they are sat in background not on the actual song, but tbf, could 100% be a case of RBF lol
