Grimes bared all as she turned into a Scandinavian mythological creature for the second week of Coachella – after apologising for her disastrous set the week before.
The Canadian music artist, 36, performed at the California music festival on April 13, hitting the stage on top of a giant mechanical spider.
However, her set was plagued by technical difficulties and equipment malfunctions, resulting in her having to restart a song and later telling the audience her tracks were playing at double speed.
Determined to redeem herself for the festival’s second weekend, Grimes wrote online: ‘Who’s ready for Coachella weekend 2? I will cap the disarray at a maximum ten seconds per song – idk if there’s ever been a more rehearsed or fine tuned grimes set.’
Taking to the stage on Sunday dressed as a Valkyrie – a female figure from Norse mythology – Grimes is said to have poked fun at herself by playing a breaking-news style montage of clips of her failed set from the previous week.

Succeeding in her mission to deliver a ‘flawless’ set second time round, Grimes’s costume saw her bare her chest.
She wore a barely-there sheer, nude bodysuit from brand TTSWTRS – which gave the illusion that she was braless.
Grimes paired the mask with white shoulder pads to act as armour, which had a long flowing train.
She also sported a huge white, pointed mask with striped cut-outs over her eyes, made by cyber artist Nikita Replyanski, and finished off the ensemble with a ruched silver satin skirt and a pair of laced mules.
Her signature long platinum locks were crimped loosely and covered by the mask and she showed off a subtle make-up look in a selfie with her photographer.
It comes after she apologised following her disastrous set at Coachella the week before – which left her screaming with frustration.
It meant she had to restart her song Music 4 Machines several times with Grimes telling the crowd her tracks were all playing at double speed.
She said: ‘This is insane. All my tracks are double the tempo. This is a difficult thing to explain but we’re having a major technical error.

‘Don’t judge me for being bad a calculating things. All my tracks are double tempo and I can’t do the math. They’re borderline un-mixable, so the rest of my set won’t be mixes but it’ll still be fun.’
However, the singer was left screaming in frustration as the technical issues continued and she has now taken to X – formerly known as Twitter – to say sorry.
She wrote: ‘I want to apologise for the technical issues with the show tonight. I wanted to come back [really] strong and usually I always handle every aspect of my show myself.
‘To save time this was one of the first times I’ve outsourced essential things like rekordbox bpms and letting someone else organize the tracks on the sd card etc.
‘I had a bad feeling beforehand not having run everything thru the cdjs myself and tho [though] I flagged it I wasn’t insistent. The big lesson for me was a mix of …
‘1 If u want it done right, do it yrself. 2 Be a c- even if ppl feel bad. 3 Probably pretend it’s fine and engage w [with] the crowd rather than spend a whole show slumped over the desk trying to fix software when ur [your] meant to be entertaining [sic].’
Grimes went on to insist it will never happen again when she returns to Coachella for the festival’s second weekend.

She added: ‘I will personally organise all the files next week. I will not let such a thing happen again.
‘I’ve spent months on this show, making music and visuals, and admittedly am not in the best mood atm [at the moment].
‘Some good lessons learned. Bless y’all. The cdjs were showing me bpms like 370 so I couldn’t even mix manually by ear and the front monitors were off so it was literally sonic chaos on my end trying to guess how stuff was sounding for u guys.
‘Plz forgive me! Love, always [sic].’
In March she debuted her new romance Anyma and went Instagram official with their relationship. She posted three photos with the 35-year-old DJ to social media with the caption: ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
This comes two years after her split with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, 52.
Grimes and billionaire ex Elon share three children: X Æ A-Xii, four, Exa Dark Sideræl, around two, and Techno Mechanicus, who was born sometime in 2022.
They dated for about three years with the couple separating in March 2022.
