The group ENHYPEN is on the verge of a 'dream stage.' The United States' largest music festival, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (hereafter 'Coachella'), which sees about 300,000 participants annually, is their stage.
ENHYPEN will perform on the 12th (local time hereinafter) and the 19th. Both performances are scheduled for the hottest Saturdays of the festival. They are the only K-pop boy group listed in the 'Coachella 2025' lineup and are expected to draw tremendous interest from global music fans as they challenge for the title of 'Performance King.'
According to their agency, BELIF+ on the 11th, ENHYPEN is determined to elevate the status of K-pop with an immersive performance that showcases overwhelming stage dominance and near-perfect execution. The members shared various opinions for a setlist that boosts audience excitement and have actively participated in the performance composition, completing thorough preparations. There are high expectations for the exhilarating atmosphere that these 'performance champions' will create.
Previously, ENHYPEN has proven their true worth at large-scale festivals such as SUMMER SONIC and the ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL. They captivated audiences with powerful energy, showcasing not only their idol group features but also charismatic vocals and impressive guitar skills, completing a rich rock sound.
A broad musical spectrum that transcends genres, high-quality performances with relaxed stage manners, and a deep connection with the audience based on original narratives characterize these performances. The unique nature of outdoor stages, which are heavily influenced by surrounding environments, adds to the confidence of ENHYPEN, who already possess extensive experience in stadium performances.
Debuting at 'Coachella' is expected to be a significant turning point in ENHYPEN's musical journey. Entering 'Coachella' itself is a testament to an artist's global recognition and influence. Not only musicians but artists from various fields visit the site. It is also seen as an opportunity to assert their presence as trendsetters in culture, leading areas such as fashion and lifestyle.
Previously popular in South Korea and Japan, ENHYPEN expanded its global influence last year, gaining recognition in the United States. They celebrated setting a new personal best on the Billboard 200 with their second studio album, ROMANCE: UNTOLD, reaching a peak position of 2. Additionally, they are on par with Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish in the annual report of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, including the settlement of account chart.
As ENHYPEN strengthens its presence in the mainstream pop market beyond South Korea and Japan, anticipation builds for how they will captivate global music fans at this 'Coachella.' ENHYPEN's debut stage at 'Coachella' will take place at the Sahara stage at 8:35 p.m. on the 12th and 19th, which is 12:35 p.m. on the 13th and 20th in Korean time, and the performance will be broadcast live on 'Coachella's official YouTube channel.
