BLACKPINK made history following its appearance at the 2023 Coachella Festival.
The girl supergroup had been tapped to become one of the three main headliners in the two-weekend festival, which started on April 14. The event, which is being held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, has BLACKPINK, Frank Ocean, and Bad Bunny as headliners.
BLACKPINK previously set a record when it was tapped to perform at the 2019 Coachella Festival, making them the first group to appear at the event. But the girl group did not stop there as it made history with its recently headlining appearance at the same festival.
