Goldenvoice, the promoter behind Coachella, is actively trying to figure out how to use the ditched ice rink that was custom-built for Frank Ocean's headlining set, Billboard reports. They're reportedly hoping to incorporate it into the second weekend of the festival in some fashion in order to help mitigate the losses stemming from Ocean's cancellation of his performance on Sunday, which will reportedly cost the festival "several million dollars." The rink, constructed for an onstage performance of over 100 ice skaters and the most expensive element of the production, was nixed by Ocean the day of his performance after the singer was injured on the festival grounds.

Frank Ocean originally had an epic ice-skating routine planned for his Coachella 2023 performance. After he was originally set to headline the music festival in 2020 — before the pandemic shut down the festival — Ocean returned to Indio, California, on Sunday to headline the first weekend of this year's star-studded music festival. The performance was the singer's first in six years since 2017's Flow Festival in Finland.When it came time for his performance, fans became irate when not only was it announced that his set would not be included in YouTube's livestream from the festival, but signs placed around the venue declared that no Frank Ocean merchandise would be available for purchase at the festival.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Two former hockey players who bailed on Frank Ocean’s Coachella performance after it seemingly became enveloped in chaos Sunday have spoken up about the experience in a podcast. Brothers Dan and Chris Powers say that they and more than a hundred other skaters had a positive experience through a good month of rehearsal in L.A., and even a successful dress rehearsal on the Coachella main stage — only to have Ocean render most of the skaters’ services unnecessary as he scrapped the entire epic ice-capades setup as the festival grounds were filling up. In the first segment of their “Empty Netters” podcast, released Tuesday, the Powers brothers said that there were about 120 skaters who’d been hired for the show and had been rehearsing on a makeshift ice rink at Paramount for weeks — including, they said, several Olympians well-known in the figure skating community, as well as hockey veterans like themselves. In the end, they said, the vast majority of these skating extras were left waiting on buses or in hot tents for hours on the perimeter of the festival grounds as Ocean made the last-minute call to dissemble the ice rink and ditch the planned skate choreography.
