Lady Gaga kills, bury and resurrect Lady Gaga from the past in her impressive concert at the Coachella festival | Culture
When your name is written with the largest lyrics at the most famous poster of the music festival, you have a mission. And Lady Gaga (New York, 39 years old) knew how to fulfill it. The singer and actress returned to their origin on Friday evening in Coachelle (California), putting gold brooch on the first day of the three festival to present their new album, Chaoswhich is launched just a month ago And that I first saw the light on stage. But it was not only to sing an album. It went much further. The artist examined almost 20 years of career and many of her great success, in a grandiose and melodramatic production, and she both likes her.
Of the more than 120,000 participants in Coachella, many of them gathered on the main stage to see the first show Stefani Joan Angelina Jerotta, as the singer is called, with her new album, who will go on a tour with almost everything that has already been sold since July. They were lucky. They knew about the privilege to see the artist in order to give birth to a new stage of her career, in which he shows how she cost her to live with herself, but, as she knew, she would always be there. He said this at the end of the concert: “Monsters never die”, in connection with the name “monsters” who give their followers, as well as their themes, their stories, their demons. They do not leave. In a huge scenario, like an old theater, with its boxes and colonnates, Lady Gaga killed Lady Gaga. He killed Lady Gaga from the past: so often they appeared on her double stage, exactly the same, dressed and hairstyles of her time bad Romance or AlexanderThe songs that launched her, fame. And she fought against those Alter EgoI eliminated them with a clean fist and left them. But always, like her, they surfaced from their ashes to give a new version of their own.
Lady Gaga made much more to imagine ChaosHe placed him in his discography and his biography, scattered him and showed what place he occupies in his life: she proudly publishes her own and original music, which (without compilations or soundtracks) Not for five yearsHe divided the concert into half a dozen events, and in all of them he placed songs from this eighth studio album (opening up, of course, Abracadabra), but also from other albums. He danced with skeletons and dead, rose and lowered the stairs, stood up, touched the piano, batteries and even an electric guitar, walked along the catwalk, which connected the main scene with a small quadrangle (sometimes turned into a chessboard), he went down from him and greeted his followers for a long time. And, thanks to this exciting production intended for the public, but also for the camera, it implied that it was not a concert for saving Coachella and its transformation, which, in a viral window: it was a snack, probably more cut (it lasted an hour and 45 minutes), 48 concert rounds.
What will see the audience around the world, from Las Vegas in July, at least Sydney in December, Passing three concerts in BarcelonaThis is the magnificent Lady Gaga in vocals (although something sometimes drowned in physical, both imposed, with a lot of sighs, and sometimes real) and decided to demonstrate what it was: scene artist. In the absence of knowledge of the configuration, when it reaches stadiums, the show is almost a musical, vital review with dozens of musicians, dancers, locker rooms, lights and fireworks. Yeah The tour of the era, He managed to raise Swift from Taylor 2000 million dollars (1761 million euros) around the world for about 20 monthsLady Gaga managed to follow a very similar rhythm (career review, a mixture of old and new successes, a huge production) and can lengthen and stretch it as much as you want. Give it much more for this.
Concerts in the middle of the heat wave
Before Herpotta remained with the ears of the public of the festival, the day was loaded with concerts, heat and tails. Coachella is huge and leaves any tormented, more when these days South California suffers from the heat. In India, up to 42 degrees were reached, the cities in which two weekends are held in a row of hundreds of thousands of people, and this is done by August in April, with exhausted rooms and crazy prices (where, for example, one night for $ 1,000 is not average). Only the first day 61 took concerts from one day to one in the morning, in its 2.6 square kilometers. Really infinite, even for the most experienced festival.
One of the first strong dishes of the day was the British Lola Young, in just 24 years – of those people who were already born in the 21st century, and this, in the blink of an eye, won – and her irresistible topic SloppyThanks to him (even a dozen), he filled the stage of Mohava (only eight tips), despite the fact that he was a peak time of embarrassment of the day. Young, from Tiktok to the world. But this is not lonely. This, as it was for several years, seems to be one of the maxim of the festival. There are no heads of posters (Last year, thanks to Lana Del Rey, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, weighty feathers or J. Balvina, it seemed more related to the moment), but there is an old glory that attracts nostalgia (for example, a green day, a child prodigy or Kraftwerk) or those viral phenomena control thanks to the platforms. One hit miracle– And they fill the scene, even in small 50 -minute stripes: from young to Benson Bun (him Beautiful things It has 2000 million reproductions in Spotify), Artemas (p I like how you kiss me), Tila (p Toilet), REMA (p Calm down) or Joe (with The end of the beginning)
Although Bun, meanwhile, gave the public a little more. In the second largest script and enjoying the sunset, he rushed to sing on stage and with solvency no less than Bohemian RhapsodyQueen. But surprise happened when he also took the guitarist Sir Brian May. These types of surprises go crazy for the public. For example, Tila went to Bekki G., by the way, Lady Gaga did not go out with Bruno Mars in her Die with a smileFor which they won Grammy together a couple of months ago.
In the Latin chapter, this year is far from the brightness of 2023, when Rosalia and Bad Bunny were postersOr even last year. But there is diversity and quality. On Friday, two very different groups presented their music. Firstly, Los Mirlos, the first Peruvian group that operates in Coachella, with its cheerful and dance Amazonian kumbia, as they call it. Later, at an hour, it is already very noble (from eight, when the sun falls and the stages are quoted more), the disclosure with CA7Riel and Paco Amoroso appeared. Two Argentina also became Viral gratitude to his tiny table, recorded mini -postsAmerican public radio. But instead of one success, they represent themselves as a group with a dozen musicians and the production and various topics that they intend to achieve outside. The public gave everything with its memorable choir and even with Rave They installed, full of green lasers. In the end, virality lies in how everyone knows how One hit miracle Or an uncontrollable musical diva. Coachella knows a lot about this.
