The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has become a globally renowned event, praised for its "clαѕѕy" artist lineup, enchanting atmosphere, and is an icon of art and culture in the sunny California desert.
Every year, the festival attracts thousands of visitors eager to experience this extraordinary event, which combines music, art, and unforgettable moments. This year, the event lasted for two weeks, with week 1 lasting from April 11 to 13 and week 2 from April 18 to 20.
Although the 2 weeks of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival have ended, the heat has not cooled down. On social networks, the phrase "Coachella 2025" is still a hot topic of discussion among not only fans but also industry experts.
In addition to legendary US-UK artists, Coachella 2025 continues to feature K-pop artists. Since Black Pink's explosive performance at Coachella 2019, K-pop music has become an indispensable part of the world's largest music festival.
This year, K-pop artists such as Enhypen, Le SSerafim, and solo performances by BLACKPINK members Jennie and Lisa have received much love from fans and critics around the world.
However, as Coachella Valley 2025 comes to an end, they have also made predictions about which K-pop artists are likely to be the main artists for next year. ScreenRant announced the list of "5 K-Pop Acts Who Are Ready To Headline Coachella In 2026" on the 19th, ranking BTS at number one.
BTS is aiming for a reunion this year, with all members set to return from military service by the end of June 2025. While HYBE officials have not confirmed the news of the group's comeback this year, at least the members will be together after a long hiatus.
According to ScreenRant, "Their 2025 reunion deserves all the stops". "It only makes sense that they'd save the achievement of the second кσяєαn act to headline the festival for the most popular boy band in the world", the wrote about BTS.
Moreover, in case the group activities are not ready, ScreenRant brings a glimmer of hope of one of the members performing solo at the summer festival. "At the time of writing this, Jin and j-hope are the only members who have completed their service so far, each releasing new solo music almost immediately after their return, and j-hope is currently embarking on his first solo world tour. If this trend continues, we can at least expect solo music from the other members this summer".
With this premise and the expectation of BTS's reunion after 3 years of military service from au∂ιєnces around the world, the most anticipated number 1 spot at Coachella is certainly none other than Kpop superstars.
Experts also commented that Coachella could be an opportunity for BTS to promote the group's music project in the first half of next year, before they embark on a busy world tour. Previously, there was also an insider source saying that BTS would launch a project to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the release of the legendary album "Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa".
In addition to BTS being the top name, ScreenRant also named 4 other artists on this list, including ATEEZ, aespa, Big Bang and Taemin.
