These wild speculations place aespa on the Sahara stage, where BLACKPINK performed for their now legendary 2019 performance. In the meantime, NewJeans could take over the main stage, where aespa already performed in 2022. While this sounds like a K-pop fan’s dream come true, there’s a small catch – this “leak” contains a not-so-subtle URL, “coachella2025fakesettimes,” so take this information with a grain of salt.

Although the original poster of the “leak” admits that the source is shaky, it would not be a surprise if Coachella decided to include K-pop headliners in their lineup! The event has embraced the genre with open arms, particularly with contributions from BLACKPINK, ATEEZ and THE SSERAFIMIf NewJeans and aespa are indeed included in the program, this could be another success for K-pop’s global dominance.

Let’s keep our eyes open, our fingers crossed and our wallets ready for the Coachella Festival 2025!
