Sia's Coachella Performance was One of The Festival's Best Ever
It's a good thing that Sia performed in the waning hours of Sunday night (Apr. 17) at Coachella, because the singer-songwriter effectively shut down one of the biggest festivals in the world with her live show. Following years of refusing to perform live, Sia offered up a staggeringly imaginative display of artistry at Coachella, composed of interpretative dance, moving performances and awe-inspiring vocal power.
During the hour-long performance, Sia ceded the majority of the main stage to a collection of dancers, who performed routines that were also previously taped and simultaneously aired on the monitors in high definition. That amount of coordination and organization was impressive enough, but watching each song get its own set piece with distinct characters and wordless plots was simply unlike anything Coachella veteran has ever seen. Sia's performance existed as a big-budget musical, and once the scope of the performance was revealed, it was a treat to watch her pull it off.
