Jennie added: “We are so so happy to be back here. “It’s crazy within the four years we made it from Sahara to main stage a we love you, Coachella.”
As per Female First UK, the group’s epic set went down a storm with the girls getting hot and sweaty in the California Desert and joking that it was because of their fans, who they affectionately call Blinks.
After high-energy performances of fan-favourites including ‘Pretty Savage’ and ‘Kick It’, Rose said: “It is getting absolutely hot. I think it’s because of the Blinks, it’s so hot because of you guys.”
The group previously documented their journey to Coachella 2019 on their Netflix documentary, ‘Light Up the Sky’.
The film tracks the early stages of their career, right up until their set on the Sahara tent stage.
