On April 11, 2025, BLACKPINK’s Lisa captivated the audience with an unforgettable solo performance at the Sahara Stage during the renowned Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival held in Indio, California. This event marked her third appearance at Coachella and her debut as a solo artist.
Lisa took the crowd through an exhilarating journey by showcasing five distinct alter egos from her inaugural solo album Alter Ego, which was released on February 28, 2025. Each persona—Roxi, Kiki, Vixi, Sunni, and Speedi—was highlighted through her striking outfit changes and thoughtfully selected songs.
Dynamic Stage Presence and Audience Engagement
During her 55-minute set, Lisa performed a mix of tracks including “Thunder,””LALISA,””New Woman,””Dream,””Moonlit Floor,””Money,””Born Again,””Rockstar,”and several more. Her ability to engage the audience was palpable, accentuated by her impressive five outfit transformations, such as a lizard-themed bodysuit and a vibrant Hello Kitty ensemble. These wardrobe choices not only complemented her songs but also enhanced the overall visual spectacle of the performance.
The presence of fellow BLACKPINK member Rosé in the audience drew excited cheers, symbolizing the unbreakable bond within the group. Fans were also thrilled to see Lisa’s co-stars from The White Lotus Season 3, Tayme Thapthimthong and Patrick Schwarzenegger, supporting her at this significant event, proudly waving Lisa’s lightstick.
Acknowledge of Her Dual Role
Setting an engaging tone for her performance, Lisa addressed the crowd, humorously acknowledging her recent acting success:
“This is Lisa. For the White Lotus fans, you might be surprised to see Mook onstage. This is her when she’s not working, you know?”
This statement seamlessly bridged her transition from acting back to her musical roots. Her setlist beautifully blended 14 new tracks along with earlier hits, carefully curated to reflect her artistic evolution.
