Coachella 2022: Danny Elfman treats festival with 'The Simpsons' immortal theme

On Saturday night, Danny Elfman performed at Coachella for the first time in 27 years. Elfman has become one of the most famous film/TV composers in the world since his band Oingo Boingo broke up, so for his set, he mixed Boingo and solo songs with some of his most famous themes.

To accomplish so, he put together a band that includes guitarists Wes Borland and Nili Brosh, drummer Josh Freese, bassist Stu Brooks, and a complete orchestra and choir coordinated by Steve Bartek of Oingo Boingo, who also played guitar on a number of the band's songs.

Danny's Coachella concert includes "Insects," "Nothing to Fear," "Just Another Day," "Insanity," "Only a Lad," "Dead Man's Party," and "Who Do You Want to Be?" He and the orchestra also performed a medley of songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman, Spider-Man, and The Simpsons themes, as well as songs from Edward Scissorhands, Pee-Big wee's Adventure, Alice in Wonderland, and other films.
