Blackpink made a magical return to Coachella tonight (April 15). During their astonishing set, the iconic K-Pop quartet shined as they went through much of their catalog.
Before they arrived to the stage, fans noticed a large, light-up butterfly floating in the sky.

While this is the group’s first time headlining Coachella, this is actually their second time performing at the festival. Blackpink made their Coachella debut back in 2019. As headliners, the group made history as the first ever Korean group to headline Coachella.
If you couldn’t make Coachella, fret not! It looks like Blackpink will once again be in your area in the near future. This past week, the group teased an “encore” of their Born Pink North American tour with a countdown on their website. At the drop of midnight tonight, the countdown expired and the new tour dates have been revealed.
You can check out clips of Blackpink’s Coachella performance above and the upcoming tour dates for the Born Pink North American Encore below.
