BLACKPINK Historic Moment at Coachella 2023

On April 15, Kpop sensation BLACKPINK took the stage as the headliner at Coachella, held in Indio, California. BLACKPINK made a historic moment at Coachella as the first-ever Korean act to headline the largest music festival in the States.

“Four years ago, we were invited to perform for you guys here at Coachella over there at the Sahara Tent, and that made a mark in all of our hearts and made us remember the passion performing for you guys. Thank you so much. I feel like the reason all four of us are here is all because of you guys.”

The quartet’s highlights included the hip-hop bangers Kick It, Whistle, Pink Venom, and How You Like That. Not only that, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa also made an exceptional siren sing-along Kill This Love, a chair-danced Pretty Savage, a laser-beamed Boombayah, and a feathered Vegas-follies version of Typa Girl.

After leaving audiences with awesome performances, Jackson Wang also treated audiences with a shocking epic ending. At the end of the show, he climbed the set of stairs at the center of the stage. Then, he effortlessly laid on a sword, supposedly piercing in and out of his body. Hanging by the sword inside his body, the singer slowly descended down the stage, concluding his stage performance.
