d4vd’s Coachella Performance Takes an Unexpected Turn

d4vd faced an unusual moment during his set at Coachella on April 11. The young artist, known for his hit song “Feel It,” attempted a daring backflip off part of the stage but unfortunately lost his footing, resulting in a face-first fall that has since gone viral.

Despite the mishap, the 20-year-old singer is maintaining a light-hearted attitude. His backflip was part of his performance at the renowned 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where the artist aimed to engage the crowd with an energetic display.

In a now-popular clip shared across social media platforms, d4vd was seen smiling while lying on the ground, showcasing his ability to laugh at the situation during what was a significant moment in his career. The footage, capturing his debut at the festival, has drawn considerable attention, illustrating both the vulnerability and rawness of live performances.

Following the incident, d4vd posted another video, demonstrating his recovery with another successful flip later in the set. In a humorous caption, he expressed his excitement about the performance, stating, “GOT UP AND GOT DA AURA RIGHT BACK HO LMAOOO FUN SET FUN MF SET.”

As the initial faceplant clip spread across the internet, d4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, shared a meme featuring a serene dog, captioned: “humiliation ritual complete … see u next week coachella i love u.” This further solidified his willingness to embrace the moment with humor.

The reality is that d4vd is not alone in experiencing on-stage mishaps. Other artists, including Scotty McCreery and Olivia Rodrigo, have also made headlines for their own performance blunders in recent months, underscoring the inevitability of such slip-ups in live entertainment.

Recently, d4vd spoke with PEOPLE about his performance and his upcoming debut album, Withered, set to release on April 25. He mentioned, “I’m moving with a lot of intention nowadays,” reflecting on his artistic journey and growth.

d4vd also acknowledged his evolving artistry, stating, “This project feels very mature. It feels evolved, and I pray my fans hear that and feel that through the music as well.”
