Grimes said sorry to the attendees of Coachella festival due to the occurrence of significant problems with technical issues during her performance.
On Saturday the 13th of April, a person aged 36 expressed their frustration by screaming when they heard their songs being played at a speed that was twice as fast as the original.
During her performance, she stated that all of her tracks have a double tempo and she cannot perform the necessary calculations. Therefore, the tracks are almost impossible to blend together. Consequently, the remainder of her set will not consist of mixes, but she promised it will still be enjoyable.
Grimes shared on her Twitter account on Sunday that typically, she manages all aspects of her live performances independently. However, for specific tasks such as arranging the tracklist and determining the "rekordbox bpms," she decided to seek outside assistance.
Beforehand, I had a negative intuition because I didn't test everything thoroughly with the cdjs myself. Although I brought it to someone's attention, I wasn't forceful about it.
She explained that an important thing she learned was to act like everything is alright and interact with the audience instead of spending the entire show hunched over the table attempting to solve technical issues when her real job is to entertain.
"I'll take charge of arranging the documents myself next week. I assure you that this won't occur again" she guaranteed.
I've dedicated several months to this show, crafting both the music and visuals. Currently, I'm feeling a bit down, to be honest.
"However, yeah - I'm confident that everything will go smoothly through my guidance in the upcoming show at Coachella's second weekend," she remarked.

Critics on social media wasted no time labeling the performance of the Canadian musician as the "most terrible Coachella show ever."
The artist made their new relationship public on Instagram last month.
Even though she didn't mention her companion in the images, it seemed like she was taking pictures with the EDM musician Anyma, as pointed out by her supporters in their remarks.
Before, Grimes was romantically involved with billionaire Elon Musk. They were introduced to each other on social media in 2018 after he sent her a message. Recently, in September 2021, Musk disclosed to Page Six that he and Grimes have "kind of separated a bit" because their busy lifestyles and different locations made it difficult to maintain their relationship.
After two months, the duo greeted a baby girl named Exa, affectionately called Y, with the help of a surrogate mother. They already have a three-year-old son named X AE A-XII, who goes by X. Furthermore, the tech mogul and Grimes kept the arrival of their third child a secret until 9th September 2023, and they named him Techno Mechanicus.
The ex-partners have now taken legal action against each other regarding who gets custody of their three children.
