The post Fred Again & Skrillex Closed Coachella W/ A Set That Rivalled Fred’s Pop-Up Melbourne Raves appeared first on PEDESTRIAN.TV .

have successfully rescued Coachella after threatened to derail the festival’s A1 status last weekend. The duo behind the hit song “Rumble” was joined for a set behind the 1’s and 2’s by UK producer for a big dollop of closing night chaos. The festival, which runs each year in California over two weekends, wrapped up on Sunday night (US time). Organisers had previously marked the closing night spot as “TBA”, following the original festival closer Frank Ocean’s  the previous weekend. Then, a few days before the final night, Four Tet posted a  wearing a shirt that read “OMG TBA”, hinting that he would be the one taking the spot. Low and behold, the trio emerged onto the stage and dropped banger after banger in a set list that included Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, a remix of ‘ “Party in the USA”,’s “Love Story” and ‘s “Call Me Maybe”. There was dancing on the decks, fireworks, and even ‘s “Country Riddim” being played on two separate occasions. Fans at the festival as well as those online absolutely frothed the set. Many commented on the fact that while the three collaborators were stylistically super different, they’d still come together effortlessly to smash it out of the park. Fans also noted the barebones nature of the set regarding tech. Unlike at most EDM gigs, there wasn’t a giant screen behind them, nor were there any smoke machines or lasers — just the raw vibes, please and thank you. Earlier in 2023, Fred Again caused an absolute stir in Australia when he performed a handful of pop-up shows. The gigs and refreshing Fred Again’s Instagram, searching for the next clue drop became an hourly habit for many EDM heads. In my humble opinion, the Melbourne live music scene definitely prepared him for the Coachella stage. He couldn’t have done it without us. You’re welcome, Fred.
