d4vd might “Feel It” after his mishap, but he’s remaining in good spirits.
The 20-year-old musician is going viral after an unsuccessful backflip attempt during his set at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival — when he attempted to launch himself off part of the stage, before slipping and landing face first.
But regardless of how it looks, he’s taking it in stride.
In a clip he shared to Instagram and X, the “Romantic Homicide” singer detailed the faceplant moment, which left him smiling on the ground in the middle of his debut performance at the festival.
In a follow up video, d4vd shared a look at himself landing a flip a little later in the set, letting fans know that he got his “aura” right back. “GOT UP AND GOT DA AURA RIGHT BACK HO LMAOOO FUN SET FUN MF SET,” he wrote in a caption.
As the faceplant clip continued to gain traction on social media, d4vd — born David Anthony Burke — eventually posted a meme of a peaceful-looking dog, alongside the caption: “humiliation ritual complete … see u next week coachella i love u.”
Still, d4vd isn’t the first performer to take a tumble on stage in recent months, as plenty of other performers have also had some “oops” moments of their own, including Scotty McCreery and Olivia Rodrigo — who notably fell through a hole during a Guts World Tour show in Australia in October.
As for d4vd, the musician recently caught up with PEOPLE ahead of his Coachella gig and the release of his debut album, Withered, which is set to drop on April 25.
“I’m moving with a lot of intention nowadays,” he said. “I’ve never been big on planning. I’ve never been big on setting goals cause looking too far ahead makes you lose what you’re doing today. But I’m moving very militant, very tactical, very intentional with this year.”
“With this project, it is very mature,” he added. “It feels evolved, and I pray my fans hear that and feel that through the music as well.”
