Just announced!

epicurus · Postby **epicurus** » Wed Jan 11, 2023 6:54 am

So, what do we think?
- orkestral continues?
- or is this a proper fossora gig?

Is Coachella the one where every single concert is streamed?!

odduck · Postby **odduck** » Wed Jan 11, 2023 8:33 am

Whatever it is, I hope it's streamed

i'd say orkestral

merged

this is so exciting! but also conflicting as coachella changed so much since her last time there (well she was considered a headliner there). but regardless,

been booking so many exciting festivals lately i hope that keeps coming, and eventually she allows them to film it cause we need professional fossora recording eventually

a_sugarcube_fan · Postby **a_sugarcube_fan** » Fri Jan 13, 2023 10:26 pm

orkestral. primavera sound has the same vibe yet they got only strings and the audience didn't care, so i bet on another orkestral show.

jp4151 · Postby **jp4151** » Thu Jan 19, 2023 7:26 am

it is an orkestral show. confirmed by bjorktour.com

the original orkestral shows in Reykjavik didi have electronica and beats am i wrong? she should do that at coachella peoples mind would be absolutely blown

you're right.

as mad i was when she did put already-recorded beats over her music in the orkestral streamed shows (because she promised acoustic), i think some beats over her live show would work better in an outdoor festival with non-fans, before frank ocean.

Next stop … coachella
I wonder how the american festival audience will react to an orchestra only performance

unless she managed to sneak in a clause in her contract that prohibits this, björk’s orkestral show will be streamed live on youtube and “highlights” will be later available to watch on demand

For the first time, we will be going LIVE from ALL stages with SIX feeds across BOTH weekends of the iconic desert fest!

…

This year we will be live streaming Coachella from more stages than ever before with 6 feeds in action (double the amount from last year) across both weekends! Whether you're watching from home, abroad, or at parties with friends, anyone can tune into Coachella’s YouTube Channel, pick a stage, and watch the performances happening live with the rest of the fans.

…

If you can’t tune in live, the festival sets will be on repeat after the night’s final performance until the live show picks back up at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET the next day. Highlights from many of the weekend’s performances will be made available on demand, so be sure to check back here to rewatch your faves.

Interesting.

She did allow Glastobury to broadcast her Volta set, so who knows!

that would be 4 am CET

but iirc you can bring back the stream on youtube

i hope some of us tech-savys manages to record the live stream

Simontreal · Postby **Simontreal** » Sun Apr 16, 2023 10:03 pm

very excited about watching it live tonight.

and it will be an official orkestral tour visual, like we had a dvd. And knowing that cornucopia will be filmed in iceland (i personnally hope something not-too changed as a souvenir dvd from 2019 and follolwing years), I feel very like a grateful grapefruit.

looks like bjork (and frank ocean) won't be streamed

from the youtube description:

Sunday, April 16:
4:00pm - Livestream returns
4:05pm - GloRilla
4:45pm - Porter Robinson
6:00pm - Kali Uchis
[Rebroadcast]

i'm always down to support her but this is getting a bit too much secretive, especially since this is coachella and not a small intimate gig. I hope this is not the final schedule, I'd be so disappointed in her and frank, who i was so excited to watch live since he's one of my favorite artists of all time alongside her

its downright aggravating

and a stupid decision for her career. most americans have forgotten about bjork so why turn down a concert film experience she/oli don't have to fund/find funding for that would only raise her profile?

bizarre... almost as strange as bringing orkestral to coachella in the first place

Simontreal · Postby **Simontreal** » Mon Apr 17, 2023 1:49 am

the livestream of the 2007 was just ahead of

's release and

's tour. I think then that it could have been too early for a broadcast when people have still not bought tickets (or it could be promo too to have new fans). and that show was 100 % broadcasted live

but this time, i don't understand the logic. the orkestral shows are almost over, no ?

Simontreal · Postby **Simontreal** » Mon Apr 17, 2023 2:03 am

i did expect it so much. i don't want to be too negative on the 4um but i anticipated so much that stream...

Sorry, guys.

I am disappointed, too.

humbuk · Postby **humbuk** » Mon Apr 17, 2023 1:46 pm

this move was super unsympathetic move its just saying buy the tickets or sod off disappointing. i know she is special but come on...

kiknos · Postby **kiknos** » Mon Apr 17, 2023 5:12 pm

The drones do look beautiful! and that dress is phenomenal!

i do wonder why she decided not to stream it! Such a wasted opportunity! i was kind of hoping that, after the orkestral concerts in reykjavík, we'd be getting more streamed concerts. it feels like that would be a no brainer to widen the audience and maybe sell a few more tickets with little to no effort. But maybe it also has something to do with copyright stuff?

u•ɹɥʇ•ɯ · Postby **u•ɹɥʇ•ɯ** » Mon Apr 17, 2023 5:30 pm

yeah, disappointing but not surprising — if i’m not mistaken she hasn’t allowed a gig to be broadcast live since the náttúra benefit back in 2008, save for the harpa shows, obviously

while i understand she wouldn’t want to stream a cornucopia show since they are planning to record and release it as a concert film, this nostalgic / greatest hits orkestral set would have been a lovely gift to the fanbase indeed

oh well, at least we got to watch pretty much the same strings set streamed from reykjavík back in 2021

btw love this vulncura-reprise outfit

a short but lovely write-up from p4k (props to jill mapes for calling out the predictably lame coachella crowd):

Can Coachella Even Handle Björk’s Emotional Intensity?

A master of elaborate masks and costumes, Björk knows how to shield herself off in fantastical ways while accessing the deep emotional truths within her music. Her armor last night on the main stage included spidery prosthetics on her face, and a dress that looked like a sculpture by glass artist Dale Chihuly on top, a leather mini in the middle, and a chain-link-fence with black mesh on the bottom. Think of her on the Vulnicura album cover done up for the symphony.

With Icelandic conductor Bjarni Frímann Bjarnason waving at an orchestra behind her, Björk played a career-spanning set for the heads, mixing ’90s hits with deeper cuts. But one thing that bummed me out as I stood near the front was how many people were making comments like “this scares me” or “I don’t even know anyone who likes this music.” (Uh, literally look around you?) How could you not be moved by “Hunter” gone full Hans Zimmer, or a baroque take on “Isobel”? Near the end, she stepped inside a plastic-y orb, before walking off to horror-movie strings. Mother has left the building. –Jill Mapes

f u c k bjork.br for encouraging “stans” to complain about this on her social media posts. all they ever do is steal content and spread stupid rumors.

meisbaer · Postby **meisbaer** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 12:09 am

I don't think she is very comfortable being live recorded

. There are a couple of exceptions (Jools Holland for instance), but she always looks very nervous on camera. It always takes a couple of songs to get a bit relaxed.

Erik · Postby **Erik** » Tue Apr 18, 2023 7:25 am

it doesn't happen very often that i go to a concert and think "this scares me", but oh my god would i be thrilled to find music that is actually scary!

i just literally can not fathom this attitude - i have never been to festivals because they
re always crazy expensive and i don't want to risk paying hundreds to listen to music i don't like for 12 hours in a raw, but it has never happened to me that i didn't appreciate the support bands that I've seen at concerts.

blink 182 is taking over

at least coachella will now have something livestreamed from the main stage sunday night, even if it's only blink 182...
