Singer Jennie will be performing at ‘Coachella’ as a solo artist.

According to the lineup for ‘Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Coachella’), the largest music festival in the U.S., announced on the 20th (local time), Jennie will perform on April 13th and 20th, 2025.

Jennie has drawn attention by being named as a solo artist on the 2025 ‘Coachella’ lineup. Jennie made history as the first K-pop girl group to perform at ‘Coachella’ as a member of BLACKPINK in 2019, and as the first K-pop artist to headline in 2023. At the time, Jennie displayed a strong presence with a perfect live performance and a high-quality stage, so fans around the world are paying close attention to the stage she will show as a soloist.

‘Coachella’ is a music festival that started in 1999. It is held in Indio, California, USA for two weeks and is considered the largest music festival in the United States, gathering over 200,000 people every year. The 2025 concert will feature popular pop stars such as Lady GaGa, Green Day, Post Malone, Missy Elliott, Charli XCX, and Megan Thee Stallion along with Jennie.

Jennie recently received much love for her new song ‘Mantra’, which entered Billboard‘s main single chart, the ‘Hot 100’, for two weeks in a row, and has been steadily gaining popularity by charting on the ‘Global (excluding the US)’ and ‘Global 200’ for five weeks in a row.
