On the morning of November 21 (Vietnam time), Coachella, the most famous music festival in the US, announced the official lineup of performers for next year's festival season.
Coachella 2025 will take place in April as usual, with 3 artists taking on the main role (headliner), respectively Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone.
Notably, next year there will be 4 Kpop artists and groups attending. The confirmed names are Jennie, Lisa of Blackpink, boy group ENHYPEN and girl group XG.
The news that Lisa and Jennie will perform at Coachella 2025 immediately caused a stir. Blackpink has performed twice at this music festival as a group (4 members Jisoo, Jennie, Rose, Lisa). The first time was in 2019 and the second time as the main performers in 2023.
Jennie and Lisa's opportunity to perform separately at Coachella shows a big step forward in each member's solo career. The two female idols' style is also considered suitable for the vibrant atmosphere of this music festival.
In another development, also this morning, the organizers of the 2024 MAMA music awards announced that Rose (Blackpink) and Bruno Mars have been added to the performing artist lineup for the awards ceremony which will take place on November 22 in Japan.
The two artists' song "APT." is sweeping global music platforms and charts, and will likely be performed for the first time on the MAMA stage.
Previously, Korean media reported that Rose flew to Japan on November 20 to prepare for MAMA.
The artists performing at MAMA this year also include G-Dragon, Seventeen, aespa, (G)I-DLE, IVE, TXT, BiBi, MEOVV, ENHYPEN, Lee Young Ji, TREASURE, Byeon Woo Seok, BoyNextDoor, ZeroBaseOne...
