They highlighted the words "main stage" and stated that the news isn't supposed to be confused with BLACKPINK, who performed on the Sahara stage, and not the main stage back in 2019.luke || Coaechella 🎇@aespamiese@aespa_official Alot of you guys must be confused.

The girls lit up the stage with their mind-blowing performances and a set-list that made thousands of partygoers jump with joy.Girl group 2NE1 reunited at Coachella on April 17, 2022. After K-pop singer CL ended her solo performance, group members Bom, Dara, and Minzy joined her on stage to perform their previous hit, I AM THE BEST. The members performed together 6 years after the group’s disbandment.Fans called out the group’s social media management team for not acknowledging the facts and stated that this kind of announcement was completely uncalled for.Meanwhile, aespa is set to deliver a historical performance at Coachella 2022. The Savage singers will be performing their hits, Black Mamba, Savage, and Next Level.The agency also announced that the group will be singing an unreleased track. The performance will be broadcasted live via Coachella's YouTube channel on April 23 for American viewers and April 24 for Korean viewers.
