XG, Japanese Girl Group, To Perform At Coachella 2025- Deets Inside

In a groundbreaking move for Japanese music, XG, a HipHop/R&B-influenced girl group, is slated to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2025. This marks their first appearance at one of the most prestigious music festivals in the United States, setting a significant milestone as they will be the only Japanese act taking the stage.

The Coachella Festival, known for its eclectic mix of artists and bands, will host its 2025 iteration in the scenic desert of Indio, California. Spanning two weekends, from April 11–13 to April 18–20, the event promises an array of musical talents. Among them, XG is scheduled to perform on April 13 and April 20, showcasing their unique sound to a diverse international audience.

This year's festival lineup boasts a stellar array of headliners including Travis Scott, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, Missy Elliott, Charli XCX, and Megan Thee Stallion. XG finds themselves positioned in the second tier of the lineup, an impressive feat for Japanese female artists, underscoring the anticipation surrounding their upcoming performances.

XG, comprising members JURIN, CHISA, HINATA, HARVEY, JURIA, MAYA, and COCONA, burst onto the music scene in March 2022 with their debut single "Tippy Toes." Their rapid rise to fame has been marked by significant achievements, including topping the Billboard Hot Trending Songs Powered by Twitter chart—a first for Japanese artists. Additionally, their groundbreaking appearance on the cover of Billboard magazine as the first Japanese girl group cements their growing influence in the global music scene. Their presence at major festivals like Head In The Clouds further demonstrates their rising prominence.

In 2024, XG embarked on their first global tour, "XG 1st WORLD TOUR: The first HOWL," captivating audiences in approximately 30 cities worldwide. Their tour attracted 120,000 fans across Asia and an additional 50,000 in North America. Presently, they are performing in six European cities, including notable stops in Manchester, London, Berlin, Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam, indicating their widespread appeal and international fan base.

On the heels of their global tour, XG released their second mini-album, "AWE," on November 8. The album achieved significant success, debuting at No. 3 on the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking and Billboard Japan's Hot Albums chart. Internationally, "AWE" reached No. 12 on the Apple Music Worldwide Album Chart and charted in 48 countries on Apple Music's Top 200 Albums. The mini-album's lead track, "HOWLING," made waves on YouTube, trending in 10 countries, and secured the No. 8 spot on the U.S. Billboard Rap Digital Song Sales chart. These accomplishments highlight XG's growing status as a global musical phenomenon.

As XG prepares to take the Coachella stage in 2025, their journey from a promising debut to global stardom reflects their unique artistry and the universal appeal of their music. Their upcoming performance at Coachella not only signifies a historic moment for the group but also represents a significant step forward in bringing Japanese music to the global stage.
