Jisoo will mark her first solo appearance at the event, hitting the stage April 9 and 16. Her group made its festival debut in 2019 and headlined it in 2023, a first for an Asian artist. Jennie and Lisa each performed solo in 2025.
Meanwhile, Babymonster, along with NCT 127 and NCT Dream, will enter the music fest for the first time with performances on April 10 and 17. The girl group will be able to showcase its strength in live performances, further honed through its ongoing world tour.
Although the lineup only listed NCT, its label, SM Entertainment, specified that the two subunits will be the featured performers, each performing on Saturdays, with a joint performance planned as well.
