Starting with BLACKPINK member Lisa, Jennie and ENHYPEN will sequentially debut at the 2025 Coachella.
From 11th (local time), the largest music festival in the U.S., the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (hereinafter 'Coachella'), will be held in Indio, California.
Amid several K-pop artists gaining attention on the Coachella stage, this year, BLACKPINK's Jennie and Lisa will each perform solo, and ENHYPEN will make its first appearance at Coachella, the only K-pop boy group to do so.
Lisa is set to showcase her stage on the 11th and 18th, ENHYPEN on the 12th and 19th, and Jennie on the 13th and 20th. This will be the third Coachella stage for Jennie and Lisa, after BLACKPINK made history in 2019 as the first K-pop girl group to perform and became the first K-pop artists to headline in 2023.
Earlier, Jennie released her first full album, 'Ruby,' while Lisa's first full album, 'ALTER EGO,' received a warm response from fans both domestically and internationally. Expectations are high for the performances of these individuals who will grace the Coachella stage for the first time as solo artists.
Additionally, ENHYPEN is the only K-pop boy group on this year's lineup, breaking records for the fastest entry into Coachella after debuting. Previously, ENHYPEN had showcased its skills and popularity at various large-scale overseas festivals, and they are determined to demonstrate their true potential as 'Performance Kings' at this year's Coachella.
According to their agency, BELIFT LAB, ENHYPEN aims to elevate the status of K-pop with an immersive performance showcasing overwhelming stage presence and near-perfect performances. Members have shared diverse opinions to create a setlist that excites the audience and have actively participated in organizing the performance, ensuring thorough preparation.
Moreover, the global girl group XG, based on the K-pop system, is also set to take the Coachella stage on the 13th and 20th.
Meanwhile, Coachella, which has been held since 1999, boasts tradition and prestige. This music festival takes place over two weeks in Indio, California, attracting about 300,000 spectators each year. The Coachella venue is approximately 92 times the size of Seoul's Jamsil Stadium and serves as a festival where trends in music, fashion, lifestyle, and overall culture intersect.
This year's performances will feature headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone, and Travis Scott is also scheduled to perform on the main stage. Lisa, the first K-pop artist to grace the stage, is expected to appear at 11:45 a.m. on the 12th Korean time and will be broadcast live on the official Coachella YouTube channel.
