The lineup of K-pop artists appearing at the U.S.’s largest music festival, Coachella 2027, has been revealed. On November 10 (local time), Coachella announced the 2027 lineup for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (hereinafter “Coachella”). The published roster included BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, NCT, BABYMONSTER, DJ and producer Peggy Gou, and the band Leenalchi. Jisoo will take the Coachella stage not as a member of BLACKPINK, but as a solo artist. Previously, BLACKPINK appeared as a sub-headliner in 2019, and in 2023 became the first Asian act to serve as a headliner and grace the main stage. Members Jennie and Lisa have also previously taken the Coachella stage as solo artists. Jisoo will perform on April 9 and 11 next year. NCT will appear at Coachella for the first time since their debut. In this lineup, they are listed under the name “NCT” rather than individual unit names, and they will take the stage on April 10 and 17 next year. BABYMONSTER will also make its first Coachella appearance through this performance. Leenalchi, who has presented unique music based on Korean traditional music, is also included in the lineup, bringing the diverse appeal of Korean music, including K-pop, to audiences around the world. Meanwhile, there had been interest in whether BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) would appear, but they were not included in the final lineup. Amid overseas media reports that the organizing company Goldenvoice had been actively pursuing negotiations for BTS’s appearance, TMZ recently reported that BTS had declined the offer to perform. Coachella 2027 will be held in April next year at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, USA. • BLACKPINK’s Jisoo signs with major U.S. agency WME!
