ROSÉ made her highly anticipated debut at the 2025 Global Citizen Festival, taking the stage as a special guest and dazzling over 60,000 fans on the Great Lawn of Central Park in New York City. Just days after the surprise announcement, the BLACKPINK star and soloist proved why she remains one of the most captivating voices in global pop.
The set opened with “APT.”, her chart-topping collaboration with Bruno Mars and lead single from her debut album Rosie. Backed by a live band and accompanied by roaring cheers, ROSÉ delivered the high-energy track with ease, blending her signature airy tone with commanding stage presence.

From there, she transitioned into “Two Years”, a fan-favorite album cut that showcased her vocal precision and emotional delivery. The mood shifted again with a cover of The Cranberries’ “Linger”, during which the crowd sang along in unison, turning Central Park into a chorus of voices echoing the song’s soaring refrain.
Closing with “Toxic Till The End”, one of the most powerful ballads from Rosie, ROSÉ brought the festival to a heartfelt conclusion. She poured raw emotion into every line, ending her set with gratitude: “Give it up for the band!” she shouted, extending her thanks to both her team and the audience.
Her appearance at Global Citizen Festival marked another milestone in what has been a landmark year. Rosie, released in December 2024, earned international acclaim. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, setting a Guinness World Record as the highest-charting album by a K-pop female soloist, and has since been certified double platinum in South Korea.
