“Grimes’ Coachella 2024 Set: A Futuristic Entrance Marred by Technical Hurdles”
Grimes kicked off her performance at Coachella 2024 with flair, arriving at the Sahara Stage on a futuristic walking vehicle reminiscent of a spider’s crawl. However, technical glitches marred the electronic singer-songwriter’s 50-minute set.

Midway through, Grimes encountered significant issues with her song “Music 4 Machines,” which repeatedly played at double speed. Amidst frustrated restarts, she candidly addressed the audience, admitting the challenge of recalculating on the spot and apologizing for the disruption. Despite her efforts to salvage the performance by introducing unreleased tracks recorded in recent days, she struggled to maintain momentum, punctuating pauses with angsty outbursts.
Expressing frustration at her inability to adjust in real-time, Grim acknowledged her limitations in mathematics, lamenting the unforeseen setbacks. Ultimately, she managed to conclude with “Genesis” before abruptly exiting the stage.
With a career spanning five albums, including 2020’s “Miss Anthropocene,” Grim has remained active, releasing three singles last year, demonstrating her ongoing creative output.
