- Catch BLACKPINK's Second Coachella Headlining Act Live on YouTube 목차
K-pop sensation BLACKPINK is set to take the stage for the second time as a headliner at America's largest music festival, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, today at 1:20 pm Korean time. Fans around the world will have the chance to watch the performance live on the group's official YouTube channel.
The first performance, which took place on April 16, was also broadcast live on Coachella's official YouTube channel. The second performance's live streaming on BLACKPINK's channel is a privilege exclusive to Coachella's headliners.
With 87.1 million subscribers, BLACKPINK boasts the highest number of subscribers among artists on YouTube, making their performance easily accessible to fans worldwide. The live broadcast is expected to garner a positive response, giving fans who cannot attend the festival a chance to experience the electrifying atmosphere.
BLACKPINK has made K-pop history by becoming the first Korean artist to headline Coachella. The group's captivating performance, featuring a medley of their global mega hits and colorful solo stages, captivated 125,000 spectators for approximately 95 minutes.
International media outlets, including CNN, Billboard, Variety, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone, have showered praise on the group's performance. YG Entertainment's stage production, which seamlessly blended Korean aesthetics with BLACKPINK's live performance, has been credited with creating the perfect synergy.
CNN hailed the performance as one that "will go down in history," while the LA Times compared it to Beyoncé's 2018 Coachella performance, raising expectations for BLACKPINK's second act.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK continues their largest world tour, 'BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK],' with an estimated 1.5 million attendees. Following successful concerts in North America and Europe last year, the group is now heading to Asia to meet more fans. In July, BLACKPINK will make history again as the first K-pop artists to headline the UK's prestigious Hyde Park British Summertime Festival, after completing a stadium tour in Paris, France, and visiting four cities in North America.
