Watch Diplo Skydive Onto a Racetrack and DJ at a Horse Race
Diplo was the headliner for Baltimore’s InfieldFest on Saturday (May 18), which took place ahead of the 144th Preakness Stakes horse races at Pimlico Race Course. Despite Diplo’s recent embrace of country music, he did not arrive at the racetrack by horse, but by parachute. Diplo flew in shortly after the U.S. Navy’s parachute team, the Leap Frogs. He then headed straight for the stage to play his set. Watch it go down below.
Diplo recently cameoed in Lil Nas X’s highly-anticipated video for “Old Town Road” (he previously remixed Billy Ray Cyrus’ rendition of the song). Last month, Diplo announced his new country music project under the moniker Thomas Wesley, an abridged version of his birth name: Thomas Wesley Pentz, Jr. This year, Diplo has already released the Europa EP, as well as the debut studio album from LSD, his collaboration with Sia and Labrinth.
