Sid Sriram’s first Coachella

“@sidsriram got the Coachella livestream started right,” wrote Coachella, sharing a short video of Sid performing an English R&B song with Carnatic touches. Dressed in a white t-shirt, a neutral-toned co-ord set, sunglasses on and his long hair up in a man-bun, the audience seemed to enjoy his performance.

He performed to songs like Do The Dance from his album, apart from Tamil songs like Kannalanae from Bombay, apart from adding spiritual touches to his numbers, according to Giant. Sharing the video taken at Coachella on his Instagram stories, Sid wrote, “Coachella weekend 1 felt special. Understood the beast. Truly look forward to next week.”
