Frank Ocean was set to headline Coachella on Sunday evening. But after years of seemingly dodging live shows, seems like Coachella was no different… at least for fans at home waiting for the livestream. The Frank Ocean Coachella livestream didn’t happen. As for those who were there live, after fans waited hours for his performance, Frank was at least an hour late before he hit the stage. Fans debated on social media whether they were in for a Frank Ocean Coachella no show or whether if was just a Frank Ocean lateness.

Right around 2:15am EST, Frank Ocean finally hit the stage, opening his performance with his classic, “Novacane.”

YouTube announced that the Frank Ocean Coachella 2023 performance would not be livestreamed just hours ahead of his expected set time:

Fans were livid that they were unable to watch the livestream on YouTube as expected.

It’s been 5 years since Frank Ocean sung a song on a stage and when he finally decides to it’s not even going to be livestreamed. This the type of heartbreak Blond was made for
