According to this year's festival lineup announced on the 16th (local time) by the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Heo Yunjin, Kazuha, Hong Eunchae) has been invited to perform on April 13 and 20 during the two-week event held from April 12 in Indio, California. LE SSERAFIM is the only K-pop girl group included in the 2024 lineup.

LE SSERAFIM was invited to Coachella just a year and a half after their debut, becoming the artist who has held a solo performance at this festival in the shortest time among Korean singers.

Following BLACKPINK, LE SSERAFIM is the second K-pop girl group to be officially listed in the Coachella lineup, and the first among 4th generation girl groups.

In particular, this Coachella stage marks LE SSERAFIM's debut at a U.S. music festival, attracting high interest from local music fans. Their agency, Source Music, explained that it is very unusual for a foreign rookie group to be named just below the headliner in the Coachella lineup, and since the order of the lineup generally implies the scale of the stage and performance time, it reflects LE SSERAFIM's elevated status.

Coachella, which began in 1999, is one of the largest music festivals in the United States, attracting over 200,000 attendees annually. It boasts unparalleled buzz with top-tier musicians who receive the highest attention and influence gathering in large numbers.

This year, Coachella features artists who dominate the U.S. Billboard charts and have won multiple trophies at the Grammy Awards, such as Doja Cat, Lana Del Rey, and Tyler, the Creator. LE SSERAFIM is set to stand shoulder to shoulder with these artists and leave a strong impression on global listeners.
