Coachella 2023: Blackpink Creates History, Becomes The First Ever K-POP Group To Perform At The Festival
South Korean girl band Blackpink made history by becoming the first Korean act to headline Coachella. After becoming the first K-pop girl group to play the world-famous music spectacular in 2019, the 'Pink Venom' hitmakers - comprised of Jennie, Jisoo, Rose, and Lisa - are now officially the first Korean talent to have headlined the bill on the main stage at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
Their energetic set included hits including "Kill This Love," "How You Like That," and "Pink Venom." The K-pop girl trio returned to the music festival four years after their first visit to make history once more. This time, they played new songs as well as solo performances, showcasing that each member is a force to be reckoned with in their own right.

Jennie's solo performance at Coachella 2023 was certainly one of the night's highlights. When her name appeared on the screen, the crowd erupted into a frenzy, chanting her name. Jennie's performance was nothing short of outstanding.
"We are so happy to be back here," Jennie said.It's incredible that in four years, we went from the Sahara to the main stage, and we love you, Coachella."
According to reports, the group's big concert went down a storm, with the girls becoming hot and sweating in the California desert and joking that it was because of their fans, whom they lovingly refer to as Blinks.
Rose stated after high-energy performances of fan favourites such as 'Pretty Savage' and 'Kick It,' "It's getting absolutely hot." I guess it's because of the Blinks; it's so hot because of you guys."
'Light Up the Sky,' a Netflix documentary, previously covered the group's road to Coachella 2019.
