BLACKPINK Paints Coachella Pink: An Unforgettable Headliner Finale

Once again, BLACKPINK (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa) set the 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival' ablaze with their electrifying performance.

On April 23 (KST), BLACKPINK took to the stage as headliners at the largest local music festival in Indio, California. Following their performance on the 16th, their second appearance at Coachella marked another significant milestone in K-pop history.

The performance was also available for viewing through BLACKPINK's official YouTube channel, a privilege reserved for Coachella headliners. With the highest number of subscribers (81.7 million) among global artists, countless fans worldwide could feel the exhilarating atmosphere on site.

Opening their headliner performance with a stunning drone show, BLACKPINK started with a band arrangement of "Pink Venom." The audience erupted in cheers as Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa appeared in sparkling pink outfits amidst the smoke. Inspired by the silhouette of armor worn by Joseon Dynasty warriors, their costumes were unique and eye-catching. Traditional Korean tiled roofs adorned the stage behind them.

The group showcased their charisma with hits like "Kill This Love," while also engaging with the audience by shouting "Hi, Coachella" and "I Love Coachella." They continued with fan-favorites such as "How You Like That," "Pretty Savage," and "Kick It."

Following their string of hit songs, each member showcased their individual charms through solo performances. Jennie's unreleased song "You & Me" kicked off the solos, followed by Jisoo's "Flower," Rosé's "Gone" and "On The Ground," and Lisa's "Money."

BLACKPINK then returned to perform more hits, including "Boombayah," "Love sick Girls," "Playing with Fire," "Typa Girl," and "Shut Down." During a brief talk break, Rosé and Lisa sat down and looked out at the audience. Rosé exclaimed, "Crazy, Oh my god," when Lisa mentioned the size of the crowd in Korean.

Jisoo expressed her gratitude, saying, "I didn't realize how many people were here four years ago. I'm so thankful that we had fun on stage while preparing hard, even though there were some regrets."

The group performed "Tally," featuring a fan dance, and wrapped up their dazzling finale with "DDU-DU DDU-DU" and "Forever Young." They shared warm hugs on stage, holding hands and saying, "We were Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa of BLACKPINK. Thank you!" before disappearing below the stage with bright smiles.

Coachella, held since 1999, is the largest festival in the US, attracting over 200,000 attendees annually. BLACKPINK first entered Coachella as a Korean girl group in 2019 and this year made history as the first K-pop headliners. They are also the first Asian artists to headline the festival.
