KATSEYE Debuts at Coachella With 'Golden' Surprise and First Live 'Pinky Up'

The set signaled a fast U.S. breakout for HYBEGeffen’s audition-built act.

Overview

  • KATSEYE made its Sahara Stage debut on Friday as a five-member lineup because Manon Bannerman remains on a health-related hiatus, according to HYBE.
  • The group gave the first live performance of new single Pinky Up, released the day before the festival slot.
  • EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami joined for a reworked, slower version of Golden from Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters, blending harmonies with the group.
  • The Coachella set ran about 45 minutes with 11 songs, including Gnarly and Gabriela, and Pinky Up jumped to No. 10 on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs USA after the show, per the labels.
  • Manon did not perform and recently told fans she is healthy and in positive talks with HYBE x Geffen, though neither she nor the agency has shared a return timeline.
