On April 12, BLACKPINK’s Lisa took the stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, one of the largest music festivals in the United States.
LISA’s Appearance
Lisa’s performance at the Sahara Stage was her first solo appearance at the festival, following BLACKPINK’s previous group performances. Lisa captivated the audience with a bold and unique performance, showcasing her personal style through both her outfits and performance.
Dressed in a striking bodysuit reminiscent of a “space warrior,” Lisa began with songs like “Thunder,” “Rockstar,” “F*** Up the World,” “Chill,” “Dream,” and “Born Again” in a 55-minute set. She changed into four different outfits during her performance, including a crop top with a kitty design and a red outfit that exposed her hips, creating different atmospheres for each segment. Lisa’s performance also featured intense dance moves, including lying down on the stage and daring pairing choreography with male dancers.
The crowd cheered loudly, and during a brief stage transition, the audience chanted Lisa’s name. The LA Times praised Lisa’s solo performance, writing, “Lisa turned the Sahara stage upside down,” noting that her setlist deviated from typical K-pop melodies and elements.
Lisa will return to the stage on April 19, and the energy from her performance was carried on by ENHYPEN and BLACKPINK’s Jennie.
ENHYPEN’s Stage
ENHYPEN took the stage on April 13, performing 13 songs in an hour. With a desert-themed LED screen backdrop, ENHYPEN opened with “Blockbuster (Like an Action Movie)” and continued with tracks like “Blessed-Cursed,” “Future Perfect (Pass the MIC),” “Paranormal,” and “Sweet Venom.”
ENHYPEN, the second K-pop boy group to perform at Coachella after ATEEZ last year, shook the festival with their passion and skillful performances. They also encouraged crowd participation with phrases like “Are you ready to have a good time?” and added breakdance segments during their set.
The crowd’s reaction was enthusiastic, and online support poured in through Coachella’s official YouTube channel. ENHYPEN is set to return to the stage on April 20, continuing to capture the hearts of international fans.
JENNIE’s Anticipation
Jennie, who released her first full-length album last month, will take the stage solo on April 14. With her recent global popularity, she is set to further boost her international career through her Coachella performance.
Jennie’s debut solo album “Ruby” made it to No. 7 on the Billboard 200, achieving her best chart position to date. With first-week sales of 661,130 copies, she also set a new record for K-pop female soloists this year.
The title track “Like Jennie” has remained high on Korean music charts, and despite not attending music broadcasts, she achieved five wins. Her “The Ruby Experience” show last month dazzled fans with its chic stage production, and now, like Lisa, Jennie’s Coachella performance is highly anticipated as she continues to define her identity as an artist.
