According to two hockey players, Frank Ocean originally had an epic ice-skating routine planned for his Coachella 2023 performance.
After he was originally set to headline the music festival in 2020 -- before the pandemic shut down the festival -- Ocean returned to Indio, California, on Sunday to headline the first weekend of this year's star-studded music festival. The performance was the singer's first in six years since 2017's Flow Festival in Finland.would not be included in YouTube's livestream
Brothers Dan and Chris Powers say there was even more chaos behind the scenes leading up to Sunday's performance, including an entire routine being scrapped the day of Ocean's performance. , the Powers brothers claimed that they were part of about 120 skaters -- including several well-known Olympians and hockey veterans -- who had been hired for the show and had been rehearsing on a makeshift ice rink at Paramount for weeks.
The brothers noted that some skaters did take part in the performance fans saw on Sunday, but they simply walked onstage in customized Prada outfits and face paint, not in their skates on ice as planned. "And that means that these people bused to Coachella without a pass can't go into the festival," he also claimed."They are literally sitting in a tent in the baking sun. This is a group of people who [were] about to perform onstage with the headliner and were not given passes. Which blew my mind."
