The bar was set high for Coachella’s second weekend, even though Frank Ocean announced he would be dropping out. Weekend one was filled with notable guest appearances, song debuts, and more. In his closing set, singer and songwriter Labrinth was sure to fire off on all cylinders. After bringing out Billie Eilish for an exceptional performance of their song, “Never Felt So Alone,” last Saturday, April 15, fans were curious how he would one-up himself.

On Saturday, April 22, Labrinth was joined onstage by Zendaya for a surprise Euphoria-centered musical performance. After singing songs “I’m Tired” and “All for Us,” fans of the show were giddy to see the two coming together for this monumental moment to close out his Coachella 2023 appearance.

While Zendaya has become one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood, at one point in her career she was avidly pursuing music, leading to the actress and Labrinth’s initial pairing. Labrinth composed the series’ score and, along with the series creator Sam Levinson, co-wrote both “I’m Tired” and “Elliott’s Song.” Eventually, Zendaya walked away from music due to the “difficulties” she faced behind the scenes.

Zendaya took a moment during her set to thank Labrinth for providing her with the opportunity to perform at the festival, saying, “I cannot express my gratitude enough for this magical night. Thank you to my brother [Labrinth] for inviting me and giving me the most beautiful safe space to be on a stage again…wow…my heart is so full; I can’t thank you enough for the love I received tonight, made all my nerves melt away.”

Kaytranada Brings Out H.E.R., Tinashe & Anderson .Paak At Coachella

Kaytranada brought out H.E.R., Tinashe, and Anderson .Paak for a star-studded Coachella performance on Friday night. With H.E.R., the two performed their collaboration, “Intimidated.” For Tinashe, they handled “The Worst In Me” from Kaytranada’s 2019 album, Bubba. Finally, Anderson .Paak performed “Glowed Up” from 99.9% with Kaytranada.

Fans on social media were ecstatic about the set. “@KAYTRANADA seeing you last night @coachella reminded me when I saw you LIVE @LIVmiami with Abel @theweeknd & The AHTD tour opening as well. It was [fire emojis] you did WONDERFUL !! I have videos but I know they will be removed so yeah I’m not going to post them” one user wrote. Another added: Kaytranada never fails to impress! This Cuff It flip is straight [fire emoji] and reminds me why his set at Coachella is a must-see.”

As for future collaborations, Kaytranada and Aminé will release an album together called Kaytraminé, next month. The project will be the first for Aminé since dropping TwoPointFive back in November 2021. As for Kaytranada, he released Bubba in 2019 although he’s produced music for several other popular artists in the time since, including Ravyn Lenae, Joyce Wrice, and PinkPantheress. He also handled IDK’s 2022 album, Simple.

While Kaytranada’s Coachella performance went over smoothly, not everyone’s appearances have gone so well. Frank Ocean dropped out of his week two performance after fans were upset with his effort at the first go-around. It was later reported that he suffered an ankle injury beforehand and was unable to go through with the set that he had planned. In a statement shared with Rolling Stone afterward, he said: “It was chaotic. There is some beauty in chaos. It isn’t what I intended to show but I did enjoy being out there and I’ll see you soon.” The festival has yet to announce a replacement headliner in Ocean’s stead, although Blink-182 was originally reported to do so.

Bad Bunny Apologized To Harry Styles For Displaying A Shady Tweet During His Coachella Performance

Bad Bunny‘s performance at weekend two of Coachella was even more electrifying than that of the first weekend. During his set last night (April 21), he brought out Latin music legends Grupo Frontero, and Jose Feliciano. He also addressed a controversial tweet that displayed on the screen during his set last week.

During Bad Bunny’s performance at weekend one, a tweet directed at Harry Styles suggested that Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, could perform one of Styles’ hits better than he could, and Styles couldn’t ever perform one of Bad Bunny’s hits.

“goodnight benito could do as it was but harry could never do el apagon,” read the aforementioned tweet.

This was one of the most talked about moments of Coachella last week, as many thought Bad Bunny was purposely throwing shade at Styles.

Last night, Bad Bunny cleared the air by sharing a new message on-screen, apologizing for the mix-up.

“Sorry Harry. It was a mistake from my team. We love you. <3,” read the message.

Perhaps this means a collaboration is in order. After all, Bad Bunny did express that he is a fan of Styles during a special episode of Carpool Karaoke.

Kaytranada Ran Through His Iconic Collaborations With HER, Tinashe, And Anderson .Paak At Coachella

A bad Kaytranada collaboration doesn’t exist. And the prolific DJ and producer has proven that with his star-studded albums 99.9% and Bubba. Last night (April 21), Kaytranada brought out several guests who have given his songs the magic touch over the years.

Early in the set, HER joined Kaytranada in a performance of their collaboration, “Intimidated.”

Shortly after, Tinashe arrived to the stage to perform “The Worst In Me” from Kaytranada’s 2019 album, Bubba. During this performance, Tinashe displayed her signature silky, futuristic vocals, while grooving flawlessly to the beat.

In another surprise, Kaytranada and Anderson. Paak threw it all the way back to 2016 for a performance of “Glowed Up” from 99.9%. As Anderson says on the song’s opening line, this magical pairing between him and Kaytranada proves that there still ain’t a damn thing you can tell them.

This comprehensive set proved that Kaytranada doesn’t miss, and in the coming weeks, he’ll have even more hits in his arsenal.

Next month, Kaytranada and Aminé will release a collaborative album called Kaytraminé.

In the meantime, you can see some clips from the performance above.

Kaytraminé is out 5/12 via CLBN and Kaytranada Music.

Bad Bunny Returns To Headline Weekend 2 Of Coachella

by

Bad Bunny returned to Coachella this weekend to headline night one of the final weekend of the festival. The artist performed on a platform on the huge stage, flanked by dancers and surrounded by massive screens displaying a backdrop of a sky full of stars. The performance was also live-streamed on Youtube. It was clearly a huge production, and fans showed their enthusiasm with a constant dull roar of cheering throughout the set. The singer performed all of his hits, including tracks from his latest album, 2022’s Un Verano Sin Ti. Bad Bunny looked enthusiastic about the set, hyping up the crowd at every chance he got. It is unknown if his alleged girlfriend, Kendall Jenner, was in attendance. However, she did make it out to last weeks performance.

For those unfamiliar, Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter who has made a name for himself in the Latin and American music scenes. He is known for his unique blend of reggaeton, trap, and Latin pop. Bad Bunny has become a global phenomenon over the last few years. He first gained popularity with his debut single “Soy Peor” in 2017 and has since released multiple chart-topping albums and collaborated with various artists, including Cardi B, J Balvin, and Drake. Bad Bunny has won multiple awards for his music, including a Grammy Award and Latin Grammy Award, and continues to push boundaries in the music industry with his unique style and artistic vision.

Bad Bunny Brushes Off Harry Styles Drama

Bad Bunny also headlined weekend one of Coachella. While his performance went off without a hitch, there were some technical issues. Additionally, a bit of unexpected drama hit social media after the set ended. Bad Bunny, or rather his team, seems to have started a war with Harry Styles fans. During his performance, the screen behind the singer was displaying various pictures and tweets, many of them from fans. Unfortunately for Bad Bunny, this included one tweet that threw shade at pop star Harry Styles. It read, “Good night, Benito could do ‘As It Was’, but Harry could never do ‘El Apagon’.” Of course, Harry Styles fans took this and ran with is, as they often do, leading to a firestorm.

Bad Bunny and his team responded to the backlash very quickly to explain that it was all a misunderstanding. “Our intention is to create light hearted designs that embody Bad Bunny’s personality and amplify the experience he presents as a performer,” his team said. “The request from the artist during the visuals for ‘El Apagón’ performance was to use the image only and not text from the tweet, which we take responsibility for and correct it for Friday’s performance.” So, as it stands, the inclusion of the tweet was accidental and not something Bad Bunny approved.

Frank Ocean Dropping Out Of Coachella Reportedly Cost The Festival Millions

Goldenvoice, the promotion company behind Coachella, reportedly lost millions as Frank Ocean pulled out of the festival’s second weekend, according to Billboard.

The losses come mainly in the form of the cost of the giant ice pad that was to be employed during Frank’s performance and went unused due to his last-minute ankle fracture and in tickets for the second weekend that could go unsold due to the news of Frank’s cancelation.

Billboard‘s sources say Goldenvoice is looking for another use for the ice pad; although it cannot be used as a public skating rink, there may be a use for it in another artist’s set.

Frank was to be paid $8 million for the two weekends and despite Frank dropping half of that fee with his cancelation, replacement headliners Blink-182 will need to be paid, as well as the recently booked combo of Four Tet, Fred Again…, and Skrillex.

Goldenvoice still stands to make a profit from the festival, though, despite Frank’s set accruing additional costs including fines from Indio for going over curfew (about $133,000 over the weekend) and the energy needed to keep the rink cool (and melt it down). According to Billboard, the promoter averages $115 million in ticket sales across both weekends and another eight figures on concessions.

What Time Does Bad Bunny Perform At Coachella 2023 Weekend 2?

Bad Bunny is undoubtedly one of today’s global superstars. That status can be credited in large part to the success of his 2022 album Un Verano Sin Ti. The project was a mainstay on the charts and it set multiple records along the way. Since its release, Bad Bunny performed several shows that gave fans from all over the opportunity to hear those songs live. That trend continues with Bad Bunny’s headlining gig at Coachella’s 2023 festival. After headlining the showcase last weekend with Frank Ocean and Blackpink, Bad Bunny will return this weekend to fulfill his full Coachella duties alongside Blackpink, Fred Again.., Four Tet, and Skrillex.

A day before Coachella kicked off its second weekend, they revealed the official set times for weekend two. Thanks to that, we now know that Bad Bunny will perform at 11:00 p.m. PT on Friday, April 21. His performance will take place on the Coachella Stage following sets by Gorillaz (8:35 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.), Burna Boy (7:05 p.m. to 7:50 p.m.), Becky G (5:35 p.m. to 6:20 p.m.), Pusha T (4:20 p.m. to 5:05 p.m.), Doechii (3:20 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.).

Don’t worry at all if you’re unable to make your way to Indio, California. Coachella will livestream the performances on YouTube with each stage having its own feed, barring any exceptions.

To prepare for Bad Bunny’s upcoming headlining performance, you can revisit his setlist from weekend one here.

Latto Drops Single “Put It On Da Floor”: Listen

by

Latto is back with a new single. Last weekend, the rapper performed at the first weekend of Coachella. It was a weekend marked with messy mishaps, cancelations, late arrivals, and more. Latto, however, really gave it her all, and she did so without any real missteps. There was, however, the issue of her bringing up her previous beef with Nicki Minaj. At the end of her set, Latto took a few shots at the Queen before leaving the stage. “Pussy ho, let a bitch know,” she said. “We tired of the subtweets this year.” The two had seemingly moved on from their squabble, but it would appear that the the rivalry is still very much alive.

Latto’s previous single, “Lottery,” was released a few months ago. The song features Latto speaking about how lucky her partner is to have gotten her. It charted at number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100. The rapper’s new song, however, is much cattier in tone. The rapper performed the new single during her Coachella set, and fans were quick to point out that the lyrics could be about Nicki. Whether or not that is true remains unconfirmed.

Latto Is Tired Of Fighting Sneaky

Latto’s new single is all about how she isn’t going anywhere. She also talks quite about about how she’s tired of people trying to throw shade and be sneaky, hence the title. While there is no clear cut Nicki shade, it’s pretty obvious that some of the lyrics are about her given the timing. However, Latto really does shine on this song, and for the most part, the lyrics don’t seem to have much to do with Nicki.

The chorus is catchy, but that’s usually the case with Latto’s hooks. “I done done it all, feel like Shawty LO / Laughin’ to the bank but shit is not a joke,” the rapper quips. “Say she got a problem, imaginary smoke /Bitches said it’s up then put it on the floor.” What do you think of Latto’s new song? Let us know in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics:

Bitches like to run their mouths
But I’m the type to run the fade
When your diamonds hit like this
You don’t ever see the shade
