Recently announced as a headliner on Coachella 2023 – alongside Frank Ocean and Bad Bunny – BLACKPINK are on a meteoric rise, becoming the first ever K-pop act to headline the festival. They have taken on stages around the world, including multiple sold out nights at London’s iconic O2 Arena. Delivering striking live performances on US television programs Jimmy Kimmel Live!, James Corden, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and more, BLACKPINK are without doubt one of the world’s most exciting music acts.
