i’m so curious what he has planned… clearly coachella is an important part of whatever rollout he has in mind, or it’s just gonna be a legacy performance from him where he’ll play the greatest hits and collect a bag
he had three years to cancel so i honestly doubt he will pull out despite his track record
my personal feeling is… i’m not sure we’ll get an album, but definitely a few new songs. a new setlist, stage design, merch… it’ll be cool.
but my heart is saying we’re gonna get a new record from him.
curious what everyone else truly thinks
i think we get the record after coachella. summer 2023
this last merch drop felt like a warehouse clean up
Found a couple Blonde vinyls in the back collecting dust
this will be his most exciting and ambitious record. an instant universal classic imo esp w the way he’s moving.

i just don’t think hes about to get up on that stage and perform old s*** that’s just me but i don’t really have any gauge on if he’s dropping before or after
also does anyone have an archive of his IG feed before he archived all of his posts?
agree @XTAL @atthepyramids
bc like… everyone is dropping before coachella this year so i feel like frank wouldn’t do that
but… if it was close to being done three years ago then i feel like it has to be pretty much set by now… can’t imagine he’s gonna be tweaking it like crazy by april
my wild guess would be a drop immediately after the second coachella set. play half the record weekend 1 and half the record weekend 2
or one new record for each wknd ? hahahaha
maybe coachella is the start of the rollout vs. the end of the rollout?
so many questions with this man. just feels wild to check his songkick page and see “two upcoming concerts”

It seems like this Coachella performance has always been centered around a new album, and I don’t think he’d debut new songs during the performances.
I think the album will drop in March-April before the first Coachella weekend.
I’d predict we get more info sometime in February

why is this even a convo? u think ppl will boycott a frank ocean show bc he’s playing for most beloved album of the 10s? plus he’s only played that project like 7 times so not only is it rare for fans but also for frank himself

It’s not like Frank is a frequent performer or has already toured Blonde/Endless (I don’t count the festival circuit)
The overwhelming majority of people have never heard any of his stuff live, he can absolutely get away with performing old s***.

ur making it seem like performing old music is a negative, i’m just being hyperbolic

i mean it would be weird to all of a sudden return to performing after 6 years and releasing an albums worth of singles
only to play a greatest hits set
especially for the artist who refused to issue nostalgia lite bc it wouldn’t be “icy”
i wouldn’t be mad at a frank greatest hits set
but to only play the old songs when ur only 36 would definitely not be “icy”

it isn’t a negative
i just don’t think he would do it for his first big performance back

i suppose
I’m guessing he does a short medley from behind the shadows then steps out to new music

he’s dropped 4 songs since 2017, what “albums worth of singles” are you talking about? he’s already performed the blonded singles in the blonde four as well
