BLACKPINK's Jennie delivers a fierce performance during her Weekend 2 of Coachella 2025
Taking the stage, Jennie delivered a setlist that highlighted her versatility. She began with tracks like Filter and Mantra, initially utilizing backing tracks to support her vocals.
As the performance progressed, she transitioned to a handheld microphone, highlighting her vocals through songs such as Extra, Like Jennie, and others.
For her second show, the artist also performed on her first solo single titled SOLO, making her fans nostalgic. The ZEN rapper's Coachella Day 2 was a full circle moment as this was the first time she performed at the festival as a soloist, after she headlined the stage with her group BLACKPINK in both 2019 and 2023.
She ended her Coachella set with the song Starlight from her album Ruby and further thanked the audience, her band, and the dancers.
Beyond music, Jennie has explored acting, making her debut in the HBO series The Idol starring alongside Lily Rose Depp and The Weekend. In the show, she portrayed Dyanne, a backup dancer entangled in the complex world of the music industry.
