ATEEZ will become the first K-pop boy band to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the largest outdoor music festival in North America.

The festival's official social media in announcing this year's lineup on Jan. 17 said the eight-member group will appear on April 12 and 19.

 
ATEEZ has stayed on the Billboard 200 albums chart for six straight weeks since its second regular album, "The World Episode Final: Will," topped the chart after its release on Dec. 1 last year.

LE SSERAFIM will also appear at the festival on April 13 and 20 as just the second K-pop girl group to perform there after BLACKPINK, which headlined Coachella last year.

Also scheduled to perform at this year's event include American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, rapper and producer Tyler, The Creator, and rapper Doja Cat. 

Since its launch in 1999, Coachella is held annually as one of the largest pop music festivals in America. This year's edition runs from April 12-14 and 19-21 in Indio,  California.
