BLACKPINK’s Jennie is set to take the stage as a headliner at next year’s 2026 Mad Cool Festival in Madrid, Spain. According to the lineup announced on Tuesday, she will headline the festival’s July 9 show, part of the four-day event running from July 8 to 11, 2026.
Jennie’s appearance is particularly notable as she joins a star-studded lineup of global icons, including Foo Fighters, Florence + The Machine, Twenty One Pilots, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. She is also the only K-pop artist on the festival’s lineup, drawing significant attention from fans worldwide.
Since its debut in 2016, the Mad Cool Festival has grown into one of Europe’s premier music events, showcasing top-tier talent across genres such as rock, indie, alternative, pop, and electronic music. Past performers include Muse, Gracie Abrams, Olivia Rodrigo, and Lizzo.
Jennie’s headlining role at Mad Cool follows her historic performance earlier this year at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, America’s largest music festival. As the first K-pop solo artist to perform on Coachella’s Outdoor Theatre stage, she delivered a show-stopping performance that cemented her reputation as a global superstar.
