On April 11, BLACKPINK's LISA lit up the Sahara Stage at this year's 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival' in Indio, California.
This was Lisa's third appearance at Coachella, having previously appeared with her group BLACKPINK twice, first in 2019 on the same Sahara Stage, and then in 2023, where they headlined the festival, making history. However, this time would not only be her first solo concert on the festival stage but also the first time an Asian solo artist performed (an achievement she shares with her friend Jennie), setting an important precedent for future editions and a challenge considering the overwhelming temperatures of the California desert that day.
Lisa's solo performance added even more fire to the night. With a dramatic entrance, dazzling production, constant costume changes, explosive energy, her unmatched on-stage charisma, and a performance that ranged from sweet to devilishly sexy, she left the audience wanting more.
In front of a massive audience chanting her name at the top of their lungs, LISA performed hit songs from her album ALTER EGO while introducing her five alter egos: Roxi, Kiki, Vixi, Sunni, and Speedi with an incredible performance, singing, dancing and serving fashion like a pro. Lisa performed for 55 minutes to a set list consisting of "Thunder", "FXCK UP THE WORLD", "LALISA", "New Woman", "When I'm With You", "Dream", "Moonlit Floor" (Kiss Me), "Chill", "Elastigirl", "Money", "Born Again", "Lifestyle" and "Rockstar".
Netizens and attendees dubbed her performance “LISACHELLA” and “THAICONIC,” a nod to her Thai heritage and commanding stage presence. Lisa was trending #1 on X and Worldwide hashtags right now, amassing over 1.12M and 1.28M posts across top tweets and hashtags, becoming the most-mentioned artist, surpassing Lady Gaga. However, this was celebrated by fans of both artists, who agreed that both Lisa and Lady Gaga delivered a memorable and iconic performance, getting their respective audiences to sing along.
BLACKPINK Lisa's performances were applauded and praised by various international media outlets such as Billboard, Los Angeles Times, TIMES NOW, The Desert Sun, The Hollywood Reporter and many more.
