After a very chaotic and polarizing set at Coachella Weekend 1, many music fest fans are asking: who is replacing Frank Ocean at Coachella? 

Frank Ocean‘s Coachella set have spoken out about how their performance was axed.It was reported earlier this week that an on-stage ice rink for Ocean’s headlining set was scrapped after he injured his ankle during his on-ground rehearsals, causing several last-minute changes.Now, brothers Dan and Chris Powers have discussed their alleged involvement with Ocean’s scrapped stage production on the Empty Netters podcast.The Powers brothers spoke about auditioning for the performance on an elevated ice rink, and rehearsing for roughly a month leading up to Ocean’s set. They claimed that they were rehearsing with other hockey skaters and Olympic figure skaters up until April 11, and did not learn about the production changes until hours before Ocean’s set.“We get our call sheet, we have to go to this hotel to be picked up by a runner to be brought over to wardrobe and makeup,” said Dan Powers. “That moment is where the wheels started to fall off.

A major change is being made to the lineup for the second weekend of Coachella!

Frank Ocean has canceled his appearance at Coachella and will not return for the second week of the music festival, multiple media outlets report.

Frank Ocean is no longer set to headline the second weekend of Coachella after a divisive and poorly received performance last Sunday.A rep for the singer released a statement to ET confirming, «Frank Ocean will not be performing at weekend 2 of Coachella.»«After suffering an injury to his leg on festival grounds in the week leading up to weekend 1, Frank Ocean was unable to perform the intended show but was still intent on performing, and in 72 hours, the show was reworked out of necessity.»The rep's statement said that, «on doctor’s advice,» Ocean will not perform again «due to two fractures and a sprain in his left leg.»The statement included remarks from Ocean himself, who commented on his first weekend set, sharing, «It was chaotic. There is some beauty in chaos.

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.When it came time for his performance, fans became irate when not only was it announced that his set would not be included in YouTube's livestream from the festival, but signs placed around the venue declared that no Frank Ocean merchandise would be available for purchase at the festival.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Two former hockey players who bailed on Frank Ocean’s Coachella performance after it seemingly became enveloped in chaos Sunday have spoken up about the experience in a podcast. Brothers Dan and Chris Powers say that they and more than a hundred other skaters had a positive experience through a good month of rehearsal in L.A., and even a successful dress rehearsal on the Coachella main stage — only to have Ocean render most of the skaters’ services unnecessary as he scrapped the entire epic ice-capades setup as the festival grounds were filling up. In the first segment of their “Empty Netters” podcast, released Tuesday, the Powers brothers said that there were about 120 skaters who’d been hired for the show and had been rehearsing on a makeshift ice rink at Paramount for weeks — including, they said, several Olympians well-known in the figure skating community, as well as hockey veterans like themselves. In the end, they said, the vast majority of these skating extras were left waiting on buses or in hot tents for hours on the perimeter of the festival grounds as Ocean made the last-minute call to dissemble the ice rink and ditch the planned skate choreography.

Justin Bieber has defended Frank Ocean‘s controversial headline set at Coachella last weekend.Just hours he was set to take the stage on April 16 – which would mark his first live performance in six years – it was announced that his set (along with Björk’s) would not be streamed on Coachella’s official YouTube channels, causing an uproar online.His performance, which was then cut short after being informed that the festival had hit its curfew limi, received mix reactions from fans. Some praised Ocean and the set for its unexpected remixes and Ocean’s vocals, while others criticised the singer for being late and ending his set abruptly.One supporter was Justin Bieber – who took to Instagram to share his support Ocean by posting a photo from the set while declaring that he had been “blown away”.“His artistry is simply unmatched, his style, his taste, his voice, his attention to detail,” wrote Bieber. “I was deeply moved.

Jake Gyllenhaal knows all about those «Jacked Gyllenhaal» memes. The actor — who is currently in intense UFC training for the upcoming remake — recently sat down with ET's Cassie DiLaura to discuss his new film,, and weigh in on the internet's unquenchable thirst for his movie muscles.«That's a wonderful nickname,» he joked. «It's been an incredible experience and it is [amazing] working with actual real fighters, working with the UFC, reimagining a classic.

Justin Bieber has weighed in on Frank Ocean‘s 2023 Coachella Music Festival performance.

Coachella festival, the biggest in North America. So the fact that Frank Ocean’s festival-closing performance — his first in nearly six years — was so shambolic left many concertgoers distressed, depressed, annoyed and other similar emotions (and left exponentially more people feeling similar kinds of ways when his set was unexpectedly not livestreamed). The energy was low, he and the band were obscured by a battery of people walking in a circle around the stage, he performed a seeming ad-hoc setlist with a bizarrely timed DJ set in the middle, and the show started an hour late. A post early Monday from the music-festival-centric Twitter site the Festive Owl offered a seemingly plausible basic explanation for what transpired, several basic facts of which have been confirmed by sources to Variety, along with reports in Rolling Stone and TMZ. Reps for Coachella promoter Goldenvoice, its parent company AEG and Ocean did not immediately respond to Variety’s requests for comment.

Jeff Miller Sunday night’s Coachella-headlining performance by the enigmatic R&B star Frank Ocean was unquestionably the most highly-anticipated set of the festival: Ocean who had not performed live in nearly six years, was set to headline the fest in 2020 before the pandemic hit, and then again last year before he postponed it to 2023. Rumors swirled beforehand about the likelihood of new music (Ocean hasn’t released an album since 2016’s “Blonde”) the potential for a reunion with his Odd Future bandmates, and the odds of a performance as moving and revelatory as the last time Ocean played Southern California, at a near-universally lauded headlining set at the now defunct FYF festival during his brief tour in the summer of 2017.

After he was originally set to headline Coachella in 2020 — before the pandemic shut that year down — Frank Ocean again returned to Indio on Sunday to headline the first weekend of this year’s star-studded music festival.

It appears that a new album from Frank Ocean is on the way, even if it didn't drop just after his Coachella headline set like the internet assumed.
