Rising artist d4vd had a rocky start at Coachella 2025, after taking a dramatic spill on stage during a stunt gone wrong — a moment that nearly knocked him out in front of thousands of festivalgoers.
The singer hit the Gobi Stage on Friday evening around 6 PM, ready to kick off his highly anticipated set with high energy. But midway through performing his song “Leave Her,” d4vd attempted a backflip that didn’t go as planned … at all.

In a now-viral video from the event, d4vd is seen launching into a backflip but completely faceplants onto the stage. The crash was so intense, he appeared dazed and possibly disoriented for several moments — raising concerns among fans that he may have suffered a mild concussion.
Despite the harsh fall, d4vd managed to get checked out on stage and, to the relief of his fans, appeared to laugh off the mishap. The moment added a raw, very real twist to his Coachella debut — and it definitely became one of the most talked-about moments from Day 1 of the iconic festival.
