Sia’s 13 song set on Sunday in Indio at Coachella is being raved about by fans and critics alike. The singer performed “Diamonds”, “Cheap Thrills”, “Bird Set Free”, “Elastic Heart”, “Chandelier”, and more with the help of Maddie Ziegler, Kristen Wiig, Paul Dano, Tig Notaro, and a giant panda head in person or on the big screen.
“The oddity of seeing something closer to performance art than pop music onstage during Coachella was captivating for thousands, but seemingly confounding for just as many,” wrote Billboard in its review. “At a Coachella defined by surprise pop-star cameos, Sia’s performance Sunday night cleverly flipped the script,” said the Los Angeles Times.
Plenty of others agreed:
The most elevated, spiritual experience was had watching @Sia do her thing effortlessly, naturally. @coachella
