BLACKPINK’s Jennie made history once again—this time as a soloist—at Coachella 2025, delivering a jaw-dropping performance that lit up the Outdoor Theatre on April 13.
In her highly anticipated solo debut stage at Coachella, Jennie captivated tens of thousands with her powerful live vocals, bold charisma, and next-level star power. As a main headliner, she dominated the festival with a fiery one-hour set that showcased songs from her solo debut album RUBY, including global fan-favorites like “Mantra,” “ZEN,” and the viral hit “Like JENNIE.”
Rocking an all-red “ruby” ensemble—complete with a cowboy hat, hot pants, sunglasses, and boots—Jennie’s eye-catching stage look became an instant trending topic across social media. Her bold fashion perfectly embodied the album’s concept and the energy of the night.
A Milestone Moment for Jennie and BLACKPINK Fans
Although it’s her third Coachella appearance, this performance marks Jennie’s first-ever solo headline set, following BLACKPINK’s groundbreaking stages in 2019 and 2023. With flawless choreography, confident stage command, and emotion-filled vocals, Jennie proved she’s not just a K-pop idol—she’s a global pop superstar in her own right.
The massive crowd erupted as BLACKPINK lightsticks lit up the venue. Fans sang along word-for-word, especially during the emotional moment when a glowing Korean version of “Jennie” appeared behind her during “Like JENNIE,” creating a moving tribute to her roots.
Surprise Guest & BLACKPINK Sisterhood
The night got even more electric when Kali Uchis joined Jennie on stage for their first-ever live performance of their new collaboration “Damn Right.” The crowd went wild as the duo delivered an unforgettable moment that instantly became a festival highlight.
To the delight of BLINKs, Rosé and Lisa were spotted in the audience cheering Jennie on, dancing along and showing their unwavering support. The surprise appearances fueled fan excitement and emphasized the strong bond among BLACKPINK members—even as they shine in solo ventures.
Jennie’s Emotional Goodbye and What’s Next
As the set came to a close, Jennie addressed the audience with teary eyes and heartfelt words:
“It feels like a dream to be back here. I didn’t expect this many people to come. I’m so thankful you all came to my stage at Coachella.”
Jennie is scheduled to return to the Coachella stage for a second performance on April 20, continuing the momentum after Lisa’s stunning solo debut earlier in the weekend.
With each BLACKPINK member carving out her own lane on the global stage, Jennie’s solo Coachella debut isn’t just a career milestone—it’s a cultural moment. And it proves one thing: BLACKPINK isn’t just in our area—they’re everywhere.
