Lisa Performs Solo at Coachella: Everything You Need to Know
BLACKPINK’s Lisa made a landmark return to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this past weekend with a captivating solo performance.
She performed on the iconic Sahara Stage during the festival’s first weekend in Indio, California. While this marked her third appearance at Coachella, it was her first as a solo artist, following her performances with BLACKPINK in 2019 and 2023. The Thai rapper, singer, and dancer captivated the crowd with a 55-minute, high-octane set featuring 13 songs that spanned her solo discography.
Opening Shockwave
She opened with a dramatic performance of “Thunder” from her recent studio album, Alter Ego. Rising from below the stage on an elevated platform, she wore a striking black overcoat wrapped in chains. As the song intensified, Lisa descended to the stage to reveal a silver reptilian-esque armored bodysuit, gleaming with scale-like textures that set the tone for the visual spectacle ahead.

Her setlist included fan-favorite tracks such as “LALISA” and “Money” from her 2021 debut single album, alongside high-energy releases like “FXCK UP THE WORLD” and “New Woman.” For “New Woman,” she embraced a playful and nostalgic aesthetic with a Hello Kitty-themed two-piece ensemble, complete with printed boots.
Shifting Gears
Each transition flowed seamlessly, with each number showcasing a different facet of her artistry. “Dream” and “Moonlit Floor” marked a shift in tone, offering a more ethereal, slowed-down pace that emphasized her vocals.
