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.

Frank Ocean has pulled out of his headline performance at Coachella's second weekend. 

The show must go on. Frank Ocean will no longer headline the final weekend of Coachella after his polarizing first performance the week prior.

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.

Unconditional brotherly love. Frank Ocean’s brother got a tribute at his headlining Coachella set. The “Pyramids” artist reminisced about the times that he spent with his deceased brother at the desert music festival when he headlined on April 16, 2023.

Frank Ocean made a highly-anticipated return to the stage at California's Coachella festival over the weekend, but the show ended up disastrous and fans have blasted his comeback performance as "terrible."

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

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Justin Bieber came to the defense of Frank Ocean in an Instagram post in which the “Peaches” singer praised Ocean’s controversial Coachella performance. Ocean headlined Coachella 2023 along with Bad Bunny and Blackpink, but his April 16 set proved to be a massive disappointment for fans after he started an hour late, skipped over many fan-favorite songs, performed mostly sitting down and with his back to the crowd and lip-synched to several tracks. He also ran past the Coachella curfew and abruptly ended his set after less than 90 minutes. While Ocean has received pans for his performance, Bieber had nothing but raves for his fellow musician. Bieber, who memorably surprised Coachella in 2019 by joining Ariana Granda’s headlining set, praised Ocean’s artistry and voice in a heartfelt note on social media.

and influencers have risen to the challenge of bringing bold looks to the highly anticipated event.Lele Pons, a Venezuelan and American YouTuber who got her social media start on Vine before its closure in 2016, teamed up with fellow internet personality Hannah Stocking.The pair both wore varying shades of blue denim shorts and high-hair looks.But, the attention-grabbing piece on their outfits was their tops, with Lele wearing a silver top that looked akin to a suit of armor or melted candle wax.Hannah wore a matching version, but this time opted for a gold color.One social media called the outfit “drippy” while another said it was their favorite look out of the music festival so far.Another added: “How were those tops made? I need to know!”Bad Bunny, Blackpink and Frank Ocean are set to headline, with other musical acts such as Blink-182, Gorillaz, Blondie, The Chemical Brothers, The Kid Laroi, Björk and Calvin Harris also making an appearance.The glammed-up cowboy look appeared to be the choice of many attendees, with one woman wearing a tan hat, a blue bikini top and skirt featuring fringing with gold boots to finish.Another woman, with pink plaits in her hair, wore tan boots, a black hat, leopard print shorts and a top with the word “feral” written over it.Lele also embraced the “cowboy” trend seen on many attendees.She wore a cow print one piece with matching boots, completing the look with a brown hat and sunglasses.During the festival, another trend that seemed to seep through in many outfits was the use of fluoro yellow and green.One young woman, pictured taking a selfie on the grass surrounded by two of her friends, used bold colors in her mini skirt and bikini top combo.Another attendee matched their fluoro
