On May 25, 2025, Benson Boone delivered a show-stopping performance at BottleRock Napa Valley, captivating the crowd with not only his powerful vocals and emotional depth, but also a surprise element that no one saw coming—acrobatic flips across the stage. In a festival known for its blend of music, food, and wine, Boone’s set stood out as one of the most talked-about moments of the weekend.

Taking to the JaM Cellars Stage in front of thousands of fans, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter appeared confident and energized, dressed in a sleek all-black outfit with silver accents that reflected the evening sun. The crowd, already buzzing with anticipation, erupted in cheers as Boone opened with his breakout hit “Ghost Town.” His voice, raw and full of emotion, echoed across the Napa Valley air as fans sang along, word for word.

What made this performance truly unforgettable, however, was what came next. During his second song, Boone stunned the audience by sprinting across the stage and executing a flawless backflip. The crowd roared in disbelief. It wasn’t a gimmick—it was pure energy, confidence, and showmanship. And he didn’t stop there. Throughout the set, Benson included several more flips and jumps, seamlessly incorporating them into his transitions and musical breaks. It felt more like a combination of a concert and a Cirque du Soleil act—something fresh, unique, and thrilling.

Beyond the flips, Benson’s performance was deeply emotional. He slowed things down mid-set to perform “In the Stars,” a heart-wrenching ballad about loss that has become a fan favorite. Under soft lighting, with just a piano accompanying him, Boone poured his heart into every lyric. Many in the audience were visibly moved, swaying in silence or holding hands with loved ones. It was a poignant reminder of Benson’s artistic depth—he’s not just a performer, he’s a storyteller.

The highlight of the evening came near the end of the set when he performed “Slow It Down,” his latest single. With fireworks in the background and fans singing louder than ever, Boone ran to the front of the stage, flipped again, and landed to a perfect finish as the song reached its final note. The applause was deafening.

Boone then took a moment to thank the crowd: “This is what I live for. Thank you for giving me this night.” His humility, paired with undeniable talent and stage presence, left a lasting impression.

Benson Boone’s performance at BottleRock 2025 wasn’t just another festival slot—it was a defining moment. He proved himself as more than a rising pop star; he proved he’s a true entertainer with the passion, creativity, and heart to lead the next generation of live music.

With a voice that can break hearts and a backflip that can raise them, Benson Boone flipped BottleRock—literally and figuratively.
