BLACKPINK’s Jennie made an unforgettable solo statement at Coachella 2025, commanding the stage on April 13 (local time) with her signature charisma, fierce energy, and live vocal prowess.
Taking over the Outdoor Theatre, Jennie delivered a dynamic one-hour set that spanned multiple hits from her solo debut album RUBY, including fan-favorite tracks “Mantra,” “ZEN,” and her chart-topping anthem “Like JENNIE.” Dressed in an all-red “ruby” concept complete with a cowboy hat, sunglasses, and hot pants, Jennie’s fiery aesthetic perfectly matched the intensity of her performance.
This marks Jennie’s third Coachella appearance, but her first as a solo headliner, following BLACKPINK’s trailblazing group stages in 2019 and 2023. Despite standing alone, Jennie captivated the crowd with polished choreography, powerful vocals, and commanding stage presence, all while leading a large ensemble of dancers.
The audience responded with overwhelming enthusiasm, waving BLACKPINK lightsticks and singing along word-for-word. A Korean version of her name lit up the screen behind her during “Like JENNIE,” adding a touching cultural moment to the global performance.
Adding to the excitement were fellow BLACKPINK members Rosé and Lisa, who were spotted in the audience dancing and cheering Jennie on. Their support thrilled fans, reinforcing the group’s tight bond even during solo activities.
Jennie also surprised the crowd with a special guest appearance from Kali Uchis, who joined her on stage to perform their collab “Damn Right” live, elevating the set’s energy even further.
In an emotional closing statement, Jennie said, “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.” She bowed deeply to the roaring crowd, tears brimming in her eyes.
Jennie will return for a second performance at Coachella on April 20, following Lisa’s electrifying solo debut earlier in the weekend. As BLACKPINK members continue to conquer the global stage individually, their impact on music and culture only grows stronger.
