Frank Ocean’s Coachella Performance Dropped From YouTube Livestream, Fans React Strongly

Fans of Frank Ocean were eagerly awaiting his return to the Coachella stage this year, but many were left disappointed when it was revealed that his performance would not be included in the festival’s livestream on YouTube. The news sparked strong reactions from fans, who expressed their frustration on social media and questioned why Ocean’s set was not being broadcast.

Ocean, who was originally slated to headline Coachella in 2020 before the pandemic forced the cancellation of the festival, returned to Indio, California to perform at the event’s first weekend this year. For many fans, his appearance was one of the most anticipated of the festival, and they were looking forward to being able to watch his set from home via the livestream.

However, just a few hours before Ocean was set to take the stage, YouTube announced that his performance would not be included in the livestream. The company provided no explanation for the decision, leaving fans to speculate about why Ocean’s set had been dropped.

Some fans speculated that the decision may have been related to the fact that Ocean is notoriously private and has been known to limit his public appearances. Others suggested that there may have been technical difficulties or legal issues preventing his set from being livestreamed.

Whatever the reason, the decision was met with disappointment and anger from many fans, who took to social media to express their frustration. Many felt that they had been misled by YouTube, which had advertised the livestream as featuring “over 100 acts” and “four days of non-stop music.” Some even called for a boycott of YouTube, arguing that the company had let them down by failing to deliver on its promises.

Despite the controversy surrounding the livestream, Ocean’s performance itself was widely praised by those in attendance at Coachella. The singer, who had not performed in six years prior to this appearance, delivered a memorable set that included many of his most popular songs.

Some fans who were unable to watch the performance via the livestream expressed their hope that footage of the set would be made available online in the coming days. However, as of this writing, it is unclear whether any such footage exists, or whether it will ever be released to the public.

For now, fans will have to content themselves with the memories of Ocean’s long-awaited return to the Coachella stage. And while the decision to exclude his performance from the livestream may have been disappointing, it is clear that his fans remain as passionate and devoted as ever.
