Green Day’s Coachella performance took a dangerous turn Saturday night when a misfired firework blasted into the crowd and lit a nearby palm tree on fire, throwing the festival into chaos.
The band was wrapping up their high-energy set in Indio, California when one of the fireworks veered off course and exploded frighteningly close to the audience. The moment was caught on video, showing flames engulfing a palm tree as panicked festivalgoers scrambled for safety. Firefighters rushed in and quickly put out the blaze, while organizers were heard shouting, “Everybody out please,” over loudspeakers.
One shaken attendee posted on X, saying, “A firework just exploded next to me and all my friends at Coachella. I can’t hear out of my right ear, multiple people hurt. That was f***ing insane, I thought it was a terrorist attack.”
