Halsey Delivers Star-Making, Brendon Urie-Assisted Coachella Performance

FUSE TV - Halsey Delivers Star-Making, Brendon Urie-Assisted Coachella Performance

"You are not in Coachella anymore. Welcome to the fucking Badlands!"

That's what Halsey declared on Saturday night (Apr. 16) at the Indio festival, after explaining to her crowd that Coachella's dry setting recalled her own retreat into the desert to find herself. Yet Halsey's Coachella set was not an escape, but an arrival. The singer-songwriter has traveled from wide obscurity to big festival draw in a relatively short amount of time, and she used Coachella to assert that she will dazzle when given the opportunity.

From the opening moments, in which Halsey emerged in a skin-tight white getup and danced as flames burst from the stage around her, the Coachella performance was an uncompromising visual spectacle. "Hold Me Down" featured stripper-pole acrobatics that were both poignant and sexually charged; "Castle" showcased fierce choreography set against a brick-wall background. "Ghost" was portrayed as Halsey's origin story, and included a segment where an animated soul left her body.
