Lisa of the girl group BLACKPINK and boy band Stray Kids will take the stage next month at a charity concert in France.

The Paris-based Accor Arena on Dec. 26 said on its official website that Lisa and Stray Kids will perform on Jan. 26 at the Yellow Coin Concert in the French capital.

Launched in 1989, Operation Yellow Coins, a fundraising drive for hospitalized children and teens, is run by the Fondation des Hopitaux (Hospital Foundation), a French organization that hosts the annual charity event. French first lady Brigitte Macron is the chair of the concert, which will mark its 35th year in 2024. 

BLACKPINK this year became the first K-pop act to receive an invitation to the event, appearing at the concert on Jan. 30 at Le Zenith Arena in Paris and performing in the finale.

Other acts scheduled to appear include J Balvin, Maroon 5 and Pharrell Williams. Tickets will go on sale from Jan. 9.
