Coachella headliner Billie Eilish makes falling on stage easy

Billie Eilish laughed after falling on stage while headlining the second Saturday of the Coachella music festival.

The pop megastar told fans she fell on her face after tripping over a piece of firefighting gear in the dark between songs.

The 20-year-old Oscar winner performed an explosive set that included the use of a crane and healthy accents, including a duet with her brother and co-writer Finneas and a home video compilation.

Eilish finished one of her numbers, cried out, then laughed and explained, “Guys, I just ate shit up here.

“It was dark, it was pitch black (and) I tripped over the damn fire thing. ow!

“I went… and fell right on my face.”

Fans were treated to a string of hits including Bury A Friend, Oxytocin, Bad Guy and Happier Than Ever.

A compilation of baby videos, including clips of Eilish playing with her brother and parents, accompanied Getting Older.

While performing her song Ocean Eyes, which she wrote when she was just 13, Eilish was lifted 20 feet in the air on a mechanical platform and soared above the crowd as she sang.

She also brought out Paramore singer Hayley Williams as a surprise guest for a rendition of Misery Business and later helped close the set.

It comes after her Coachella colleague Harry Styles brought out Lizzo on Friday to duet his One Direction hit What Makes You Beautiful.

Ahead of Eilish on the main stage, Megan Thee Stallion gave a bold and energetic performance punctuated by gunfire and air horns.

The rapper fired off several of her own hits, including WAP, which features Cardi B, although the latter didn’t perform live.

For the second weekend in a row, British award winner Arlo Parks brought US singer Phoebe Bridgers on stage for a duet.

Leeds-based rockers Yard Act performed earlier in the day after a string of US tour dates including a guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Elsewhere at Coachella, the curtain fell on the seven-piece US rap band Brockhampton, who delivered their final live performance together as a group.

There’s just one day left until this year’s festival, taking place in the Southern California city of Indio.
