Day one of Coachella 2024‘s first weekend has wrapped, but not without controversy as fans have been taking to social media to voice their disdain for the sound quality at this year’s festival.
Throughout the course of day one (April 12), several artists faced sound and technical issues, especially on the main stage – known as the Coachella Stage. Some of these acts include headlining Lana Del Rey, Sabrina Carpenter and The Japanese House.
The Japanese House were one of the first bands to take to the Mojave stage. Amber Bain and co. hit the stage roughly ten minutes late and were met with various technical difficulties while performing. “This is my first Coachella, can you tell?” joked Bain as she tried to solve the issues so that they could continue their set.
Though there were issues including the lack of vocals feeding into Bain’s in-ears along with too much guitar and no keys, The Japanese House were able to pull through, performing a mix of fan favorites including ‘Sad To Breathe’, ‘Touching Yourself’ and ‘Boyhood’ which Bain dedicated to all the gays.

The Japanese House spending half of her set insisting the sound is right is a show within itself

Then, Sabrina Carpenter took to the Coachella Stage, where she faced several technical difficulties including the volume of her microphone, and a sustain pedal not being set up correctly.
