Despite facing online scrutiny over their vocal performance, LE SSERAFIM has emerged as a surprising draw at Coachella, pulling in a massive crowd for their second weekend set at the esteemed music festival.
For those unfamiliar, Coachella is a giant among music festivals, with multiple stages hosting simultaneous performances. Attendees have the freedom to roam the expansive festival grounds in California and choose among the artists playing at any given time. This setup makes the crowd size at a particular stage a fairly accurate barometer of an artist’s popularity and draw in the United States.
LE SSERAFIM’s ability to attract such a considerable audience speaks volumes about their pulling power. Fans and casual festival-goers alike gathered in droves at their stage, eager to catch the group perform their hits like “UNFORGIVEN,” “FEARLESS,” “ANTIFRAGILE,” and “EASY,” along with “SMART,” and the new unreleased track “1-800-Hot & Fun.”
They’re unstoppable @le_sserafim
