BLACKPINK's Jennie headlined the Lollapalooza Chicago festival on Saturday (U.S. time), closing the main Bud Light stage with an 18-song, roughly one-hour performance that included a surprise unreleased track, her agency said.
OA Entertainment said Monday that Jennie appeared as the final act of the day on the Bud Light stage, a slot previously held by global headliners, including The Cure, Coldplay and The Weeknd.
She joined this year's top-billed names, such as Charli xcx, Lorde and Olivia Dean, becoming the first female K-pop act to headline the festival.
Jennie gave the first live performance of her latest single, "Less than a Lover," released July 24. Fans sang along as the single played, and Jennie further energized the crowd by debuting an unreleased song for the first time, according to the agency.
She is scheduled to perform at Japan's Summer Sonic 2026 festival on Aug. 14.
