During their Head in the Clouds Forever event at Coachella’s opening weekend, the 88rising collective unveiled one massive surprise—a reunion from the pioneering and beloved K-pop girl group 2NE1. It was the group’s first performance together since 2015. Watch it happen below and follow all of Pitchfork’s Coachella 2022 coverage.

2NE1—the group comprising Bom, CL, Dara, and Minzy—disbanded in 2016. The group’s 2011 single “I Am the Best” became an international sensation, ultimately getting placement in a U.S. Microsoft ad, and 2NE1 also performed at the 2018 Winter Olympics’ closing ceremony. The group’s final album was 2014’s Crush, and a final single, “Goodbye,” came out in 2017.
