Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros took a fan’s GoPro at Coachella last weekend and gave it a tour of the stage - and the footage has now gone viral.

According to his comments on Reddit, Samuel Garza spent pretty much the entire weekend with a GoPro strapped to his head, so he could capture everything without using his hands. He probably looked quite a sight though - which is probably why he caught the eye of Edward Sharpe’s frontman Alex Ebert.

Ebert noticed the GoPro, and signalled for the fan to throw it to him. In the video, we see it spinning through the air before landing in Ebert’s hands. He then gives it a tour of the stage, and a glimpse of the beautiful California sunset, before returning it to its rightful owner.

The footage has since amassed over half a million views on YouTube.

Coachella Festival continues this weekend, with the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Guns N' Roses, Sia, Chvrches, The 1975 and Calvin Harris set to perform again.
