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.

The 2023 Coachella Music Festival is kicking off this weekend and some of our favorite performers will be hitting the stage throughout the festival.

Ethan Shanfeld Porter Robinson is a student of live music. Just days before the acclaimed DJ and musician flies to Los Angeles to begin rehearsing for his main stage Coachella set, he spends much of our 20-minute interview recounting recent performances that stuck out to him. But when discussing his favorite concerts, Robinson is mostly focused on how the artists carry themselves onstage. He first brings up James Ivy, the Korean-American singer and producer who opened for Robinson on his North American “Nurture” tour, whom he calls “one of the most talented young artists in the world right now.” “When he made a mistake on the guitar in his show, he would just laugh and talk about it,” Robinson says of Ivy. “It was so endearing. You could see everybody relax as soon as he did that. That kind of genuine, honest, unflattering vulnerability is so likable. It’s hard, especially when you’re in front of a bajillion people in a live stream like Coachella. But it makes for some of the most memorable moments.”
