Danny Elfman performed at Coachella on Saturday after releasing his first new solo album in almost four decades last year. Elfman, who was supposed to play Coachella in 2020 before it got cancelled because of the pandemic, played some songs off that album, a bunch of Oingo Boingo songs, and some of his most iconic scores from over the years, including his work for The Simpsons, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and his 1989 Batman theme. Band members included Nili Brosh and Wes Borland on guitar, Josh Freese on drums, and Stu Brooks on bass.
Check out some clips from the show below.
