BLACKPINK’s Lisa is set to make history as she takes the stage at the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony in Los Angeles on 12 June – cementing her place as both the first Thai artist and the first female K-pop act to ever perform at football’s biggest global stage.
The Thai superstar will share the spotlight with an electrifying lineup that includes Katy Perry, Anitta, Future, Rema and Tyla, ahead of the United States’ opening clash against Paraguay at Los Angeles Stadium. The ceremony kicks off at 7:30am MYT/SGT. This is a performance that fans of BLACKPINK, called Blinks, will not miss.
This year’s World Cup marks a landmark edition, with opening ceremonies held across all three host nations — the United States, Mexico and Canada — for the very first time. Over 200,000 stadium spectators are expected, with hundreds of millions more watching around the world.
For Lisa, it’s yet another milestone in a career that continues to redefine boundaries. From K-pop icon to global phenomenon, she’s showing the world exactly what she’s made of!
