Frank Ocean's Sweden Performance Featuring a String Orchestra Will Give You Major FOMO

The live Ocean experience is unlike any other.

Imagine living a sanctified enough life to not only catch Frank Ocean perform in Sweden, but to catch Frank Ocean perform in Sweden with live fucking strings.

Ocean went all out for his performance at the Way Out West Festival in Gothenburg Thursday. Ocean—sans Brad Pitt, sadly—treated the audience with memorable renditions of "Good Guy," "Nikes," "Ivy," "Forrest Gump," the Jackson 5 classic "Never Can Say Goodbye," and more.

Check out footage from the performance below, then curse yourself for missing it:

Once again, Ocean was rocking a tTshirt that I immediately want to throw all my money at:

The Way Out West Festival continues through Aug. 12 and also boasts Young Thug, Vince Staples, Perfume Genius, Lana Del Rey, Danny Brown, and Migos on the lineup.

Last week, Ocean and ASAP Rocky surprised the crowd at Tyler, the Creator's secret NYC show at the Studio at Webster Hall. The extremely intimate performance was only open to the first 100 people who purchased Tyler's Converse collaboration.

If you haven't been fortunate enough to catch Ocean live, you can always just live vicariously through these firsthand accounts from recent shows in London, New York, and Los Angeles.
