They say rock is dead, but it’s wearing a sequined catsuit, headlining the first night at Coachella and called Harry Styles. But tonight, all the bombast and pomp of a Big Stadium Pop-Rock Show is in flamboyant full force. It’s a perfectly fine acoustic number, with quadruple-pronged harmonies, continuing the pretty-ditty leanings of his last album by him. But live, it’s clear that the stuff that makes Styles is his gift from him as a nimble performer. Part of the fun of Coachella is who gets brought on stage for a guest warble, but Styles keeps it light on surprises.
