Coachella festival to introduce Big Bang as new performance act for upcoming event
After much anticipation, it has been announced that K-pop sensation Big Bang will be making their debut performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. This marks a significant milestone for the band, as they were originally scheduled to perform at the festival in 2020 but had to cancel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, a renowned music and arts festival held in the US, is set to take place from April 10-19, 2023, in California. This will be the 25th edition of the festival, and Big Bang will be joining an impressive lineup of artists.
The band, composed of G Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung, have been active since 2006 and have gained a massive following worldwide. Despite not releasing new music as a group since the single "Still Life" in 2022, the members have continued to make appearances at each other's solo concerts.
In fact, Daesung recently hosted a celebration of Big Bang's 19th debut anniversary on his YouTube channel in August. G Dragon is also scheduled to have a live show in Paris for his solo "Ubermensch" tour.
Interestingly, Big Bang will not be the first K-pop boy group to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. That distinction goes to ATEEZ, who performed in 2024. However, Big Bang will be the first K-pop boy group to perform at the festival if we consider the originally scheduled 2020 lineup.
Big Bang fans can look forward to the band performing twice during the festival. While exact dates and times have yet to be announced, it's sure to be an unforgettable experience for both the band and their fans.
With their electrifying performances and catchy tunes, Big Bang is poised to make a splash at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to the world of K-pop, this is an event you won't want to miss.
