David Lee Roth Crashes Teddy SwimsCoachella Set for Surprise ‘Jump’ Duet

The cameo serves as timely visibility ahead of his U.S. tour starting April 16.

Overview

  • The Van Halen singer joined Swims on the Coachella main stage on Friday in Indio after a doorbell cue announced a final guest.
  • Swims built his set as a mock apartment with a working front door, which earlier welcomed Joe Jonas for “When You Look Me in the Eyes” and Vanessa Carlton for “A Thousand Miles.”
  • Roth and Swims traded lines on “Jump” as Roth strutted the catwalk and twirled his mic stand, with the pair laughing off a brief missed cue while the crowd sang along.
  • Clips of the cameo spread across social feeds within hours, and Roth posted “Touchdown, Coachella” on Instagram next to a hug shot with Swims.
  • The appearance arrives days before Roth starts a U.S. tour on April 16 in Airway Heights, Washington, with dates listed through June and a Sturgis stop on August 7.
