For his Coachella debut, Benson Boone’s performance pushes the boundaries of traditional stagecraft featuring a stage designed as a pyramidical rise. The set design transforms the Coachella stage into a playground and a bold reflection of Benson Boone’s energy and athleticism.

At the core of the design stands a monumental, pyramid-like riser, engineered for modular movement throughout the performance. The show begins with a striking spectacle: Benson Boone bursts onto the stage via a toaster lift, launching into a backflip off the towering riser and landing on the stage below. This vertical terrain is bold and commanding—one that few artists could master or even attempt.
Flanking the central structure are sculptural slides and staircases, enabling Boone to navigate the set with dynamic, rapid movement. Integrated video elements transform the set into a glowing canvas of evolving light and imagery, synchronized with the rhythm of the performance.
Elevating the visual experience are telescoping lighting posts that extend and shift in real time, casting dramatic beams and reshaping the atmosphere with every movement.
