K-pop superstars BLACKPINK set pulses racing during their exhilarating performance on Saturday night at Coachella in Indio, California.
The megastars — Jisoo, Jennie, Rose and Lisa — made history as the first K-pop act to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The reaction from fans in the crowd and on social media was wildly enthusiastic after the South Korean girl group took the stage.
BLACKPINK holds the title of the most-subscribed act on YouTube, with over 82 million subscribers, and has won two MTV Video Music Awards
During their six-year career, they have released two studio albums. Their first release, The Album, was released in 2020 and reached number two on the UK album charts.
On fire: Roseanne Park, known as Rose, performed with her South Korean K-pop group Blackpink at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Saturday night in Indio California
Breaking boundaries: The megastars — Jisoo, Jennie, Rose and Lisa — made history as the first K-pop act to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
Their follow-up album, Born Pink, was released in 2022 and topped the UK charts.
They have collaborated with several global superstars, including Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, and Dua Lipa.
The group is currently on the road for their 2022/2023 Born Pink tour and added four stadium shows to their list of upcoming North American tour dates: East Rutherford, New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium (Aug. 12), Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium (Aug. 18), San Francisco’s Oracle Park (Aug. 22) and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium (Aug. 26).
On Sunday, the group announced more North American dates on their Instagram Story with a pink poster and a link to where fans can register for ticket presale access, according to Billboard.
The tour, which kicked off last year, has already produced sold-out concerts in South Korea, North America, and Europe.
The quartet will perform two shows in Melbourne‘s Rod Laver Arena on June 10 and 11 and another two shows at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on June 16 and 17.
BLACKPINK is one of the most popular K-pop groups Down Under due to their connection to Australia and New Zealand.
Member Roseanne ‘Rosé’ Park was born in Auckland and raised in Melbourne, while Jennie Kim spent five years studying in New Zealand.

So fun: The reaction from fans in the crowd and on social media was wildly enthusiastic after the South Korean girl group took the stage
Rising stars: The quartet have collaborated with several global superstars, including Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, and Dua Lipa
Rosé covered Australian Vogue magazine in 2021 and 2022 and is a global brand ambassador for Yves Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co.
The tour, which kicked off last year, has already produced sold-out concerts in South Korea, North America, and Europe.
As the performers stepped onto the stage much to the delight of the anticipated crowd, the members all sported black and pink ensembles, in tribute to the name of their K-pop group.
Rose, who was born in New Zealand, donned a black laced ensemble that contained thin straps that wrapped around her shoulders.
A floral detail could be seen towards the low neckline of the outfit, where strips of pink fabric flowed downwards towards her knees.
A black belt with a gold buckle was wrapped around her slim waist on top of the flowy material. She slipped into a pair of combat-styled boots that contained white laces on the front.
Her long locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. Lisa, who was born in Thailand, wore a pair of black shorts that contained corseted details on the front for a sultry flare.
The rapper of the group paired the shorts with a black cropped top that contained long, sheer sleeves that sparkled under the bright stage lights surrounding the stars.

The quartet are very popular in Australia and will perform two shows in Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on June 10 and 11 and another two shows at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on June 16 and 17
Last year, they achieved their first No. 1 single Down Under with Pink Venom
Smash hit: Born Pink has since sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide
Similar to Rose, ruffled pink strips of fabric flowed down from the waist of the LALISA hitmaker’s shorts as she performed numerous routines with her fellow members.
Jisoo also slipped into a pair of black shorts which contained pink ruffled strips of material wrapped around the waist.
She also wore a cropped, black and pink cropped that contained a high neckline which was bordered with rhinestone details.
Jennie had a bit of contrast to her look, and unlike the other three members, the singer wore a pair of hot pink shorts that contained sparkling details around the pockets.
The Solo hitmaker additionally donned a pink, corset cropped top with silver, glittering details on the boning of the semi-sheer top.
The Chanel ambassador threw on a black jacket with eye-catching details to layer her overall ensemble for the memorable performance.
A large strip of pink, lacey fabric flowed down from the left side of her shorts for a final touch to the look.
All four members coordinated their styles by wearing combat-styled black boots to make moving about the stage simple and easy. The members took to the stage to perform a number of their hits, such as Pink Venom.
Jisoo from the K-pop girl group recently went into the recording studio to work on her long-awaited debut solo album
