Jennie headlines Lollapalooza Chicago with 18-song set

On August 3, BLACKPINK's Jennie took center stage at the Lollapalooza Chicago festival, delivering an 18-song set that lasted approximately one hour. Her agency announced that she concluded the day's performances on the Bud Light stage, a position typically reserved for major headliners, which included artists such as The Cure, Coldplay, and The Weeknd.

This marked a significant milestone as Jennie became the first female K-pop act to headline the festival. She treated the audience to the live debut of her newest single, "Less than a Lover," which was released on July 24. The song was met with enthusiastic singing from fans, and Jennie surprised them by performing an unreleased track for the very first time.

Her appearance was part of the festival's lineup alongside other notable acts like Charli xcx, Lorde, and Olivia Dean. Jennie is also set to perform at Japan's Summer Sonic 2026 festival on August 14.
