Coachella Chaos: Frank Ocean's Cancellation and Blink-182's Headlining Set

Former hockey players and Empty Netters podcast hosts Dan and Chris Powers have detailed the extensive rehearsal before Frank Ocean's Coachella stage stunt was scrapped due to Ocean's leg injury. The elaborate setup was to spotlight a hockey rink as a stage, which required more than a month of rehearsals for the pair and dozens of other professional hockey and figure skaters. The skaters went to the Indio location last week to do rehearsals on the main stage for Ocean’s first major performance since 2017. Instead of the ice rink, the performance found Ocean hanging behind a giant screen for most of the set of reimagined version of his most beloved songs.
