BLACKPINK will reportedly be the first all-female K-pop act to perform at the event.
The group – made up of Jisoo, Jennie, Rose, and Lisa – is known for hits such as As If It’s Your Last, Playing with Fire and the viral Ddu-Du Ddu-Du, which has already garnered more than 583 million views on YouTube since its release on June 15, 2018.
The South Korean indie band Hyukoh will also perform at the event, which is being held from April 12 to 21.
In 2016, South Korean hip-hop group Epik High also appeared at Coachella.
This year’s headline acts include Childish Gambino, Tame Impala and Ariana Grande.
General admission to Coachella will cost US$429 this year, while VIP passes cost US$999.
