Watch Brockhampton's Full Performance at The Novo
This weekend, Brockhampton performed a set at Coachella, complete with a string section and a helicopter on stage.
Unfortunately, the performance was riddled with technical difficulties—most noticeably mic problems for Dom McLennon and Bearface. "I’m very sad about our performance," Kevin Abstract tweeted the next day. "We didn't start on time because somehow Bearface’s mic quit working seconds before we went on stage. While we were trying to fix the issue every minute backstage felt like an hour and I’m sorry if you came out and waited."
I’m really sad because this was a moment me and my friends put so much time and emotion into. We were all extremely emotionally invested. I’m sorry I let y’all down. It felt like a nightmare.

Kevin Abstract promised, "We’ll be back next week and things will be better. Anytime there’s an issue we try to fix it and do better. I really wanted y’all to experience this new era the right way."
Three days later, they delivered. Recreating the performance at The Novo in Los Angeles, they live streamed the show themselves on Facebook Live. "I wanted the quality to be as good as Coachella’s live stream and Facebook was willing to help us make this happen on such short notice," Kevin Abstract explained. "This is for the fans who don’t live in LA I wanna make sure y’all see this the right way!"
This time, on their own terms, the performance went off without a hitch. Kevin was right. This "new era" of Brockhampton already feels special. You can watch video of the full show above.
