Even if you’re not so familiar with K-pop, you might recognise BLACKPINK as the wildly popular ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’ singers. No big deal or anything but the music video for the tune has more than 582,000,000 views on YouTube. Not to mention, it was uploaded six whole months ago and fans are still leaving daily comments on the video.
In other words, the four-member group is huge.
BLACKPINK will take to the stage on April 12 and 19.
You can suss the whole lineup below.
Korea will also be represented by indie band HYUKOH while J-pop (Japanese pop) will leave its mark on the festival when Perfume perform. They’ll both be playing the fest on April 14 and 21.
BLACKPINK will be the second Korean pop group to perform at Coachella, joining the lads from Epik High who took to the stage back in 2016.
Just look at this thread to see how bloody excited fans are.
