BLACKPINK's Jisoo will take the Coachella stage again in April, and she won't be the only Korean name on the 2027 poster. Coachella revealed its lineup on the 10th (local time), and alongside her it features the band Leenalchi, the group NCT and the girl group BABYMONSTER, plus the Berlin-based Korean DJ Peggy Gou.

The festival takes place in Indio, California, across two April weekends. Jisoo, Leenalchi and Peggy Gou are scheduled for April 9 and 16, NCT for April 10 and 17, and BABYMONSTER for April 11 and 18.

Who is new and who is back

Except for Jisoo and Peggy Gou, every Korean act on the bill is making a Coachella debut. Jisoo performed at the festival with BLACKPINK in 2019 and 2023, and in 2023 she also performed her solo track "Flower" there. Peggy Gou first played in 2018, then returned in 2022 and 2024 with her DJ sets.

For NCT and BABYMONSTER, this is a first. NCT is listed under the team name alone, with no unit breakdown. BABYMONSTER, for its part, has talked about Coachella as a goal since its earliest days after debut, so this booking is the realization of a long-stated dream for the group.

Leenalchi, which toured North America and Europe this year, is expected to bring its modern reinterpretation of pansori, the traditional Korean narrative singing style, to the festival.

The wider lineup

The headliners for 2027 are Dua Lipa, Tame Impala and SZA, with Madonna also on the bill.

With several Korean acts spread across the three nights of each weekend, the lineup gives fans a lot to plan around. Leenalchi's pansori-driven sound alongside two large K-pop acts should make for an interesting contrast on the same festival grounds.
