Currently, BLACKPINK is preparing for their performance in the U.S. as they are slated to be among the main headliners of Coachella 2023 in California.
The K-pop group is performing on the music festival's weekend stages, April 15 and 22.
They previously performed in Coachella in 2019, which was also their first time at the festival.
In a recent interview from Billboard, Rosé reflected on their 2019 Coachella experience. “I think performing for Coachella in 2019 was a moment that really woke us up as BLACKPINK--to be motivated, to dream on and dream big. But we never expected anything as big as being the headliner of a festival we've all grown up admiring and hoping someday we could find ourselves in the crowd of.”
