BLACKPINK’s Lisa is back and bolder than ever!

On April 11 (local time), Lisa made her solo appearance at Coachella 2025, held in Indio, California, kicking off one of the world’s biggest music festivals with around 300,000 people attending every year.

Lisa wowed the crowd with a 55-minute set, performing hit songs like “Thunder,” “FXCK UP THE WORLD,” “LALISA,” “NEW Woman,” “When I’m With You,” “The Dream,” “Born Again,” and “Rockstar.”

But it wasn’t just her vocals and performance that stood out—her eye-catching stage outfits also grabbed major attention! Lisa rocked a shiny silver bodysuit, a fun crop top and shorts with cartoon prints, a fairy-style outfit, and even a cropped top with bold star details on the chest. Her confidence, powerful dance moves, and live vocals lit up the stage.

Lisa will return for another performance on April 18, and fans can’t wait to see her again!

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK’s Jennie is also preparing to shine at Coachella. After making waves with her solo album “Ruby,” she’s set to perform on April 13 and 20 for about 50 minutes at the Outdoor Theatre.

ENHYPEN is also joining the Coachella lineup this year. The group will take the Sahara Stage on April 12 and 19 at 8:35 PM (local time). The members have been deeply involved in planning their stage, sharing that they want to show the strength of K-pop to the world. They even appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” ahead of the festival to give fans a taste of what’s coming.

Rising girl group XG will also hit the Sahara Stage on April 13 and 20. As second headliners, they’re expected to show a unique and strong performance as well.

With Lisa already slaying her solo stage and more top K-pop acts getting ready to perform, Coachella 2025 is turning into a true K-pop takeover!
