Coachella is an annual music and arts festival held in California.

Spanning over six days, this year's acts include Travis Scott, Rich Brian, Frank Ocean and Lil Nas X.

The band's performance at the music festival was first hinted at on Instagram by one of their members, T.O.P:

This makes BIGBANG the second consecutive K-pop band to perform at the music festival, after labelmates BLACKPINK.

First comeback after two years

The band will have a lot of firsts this year.

This is the band's first comeback since they last toured for their 10th anniversary MADE album in 2017, as the band has been on a hiatus to complete their military service.

It is also the first time that they will be touring as a four-member band, following the departure of former member Seungri.

Seungri retired from the entertainment industry in 2019 after he was said to be involved in the Burning Sun scandal:
