Blackpink singer ROSÉ will be the musical guest at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Art+Film Gala on 7 November 2026.

The museum, LACMA in Los Angeles, confirmed the booking on 13 October, as reported by ARTnews. This year is the 15th annual edition of the event. The date puts it in the first week of November, in line with the museum's autumn calendar.

This year's honourees are artist Vija Celmins and filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, according to LACMA. The gala honours one person from the visual arts and one from film each year. Both will be recognised during the evening programme. ROSÉ is booked to perform as the musical guest.

The 7 November date was listed by WWD. The gala takes place at the museum in Los Angeles. It is an evening fundraiser, meaning a dinner with presentations that raises money for the museum's exhibitions and programmes.

The guest list is deliberately mixed. LACMA describes the gala as a gathering of supporters from the art, film, fashion and entertainment industries. In practice that means artists and curators sit alongside actors, directors, designers and patrons. The museum relies on that broad base of support for its work through the year.

Eva Chow will serve as a co-host of the 15th edition, the Los Angeles Times reported in July. Chow has steered the gala since its early years. Full details of the evening's hosts and seating are normally confirmed closer to the date.

For fans, this means seeing ROSÉ in a different kind of room. She is known around the world as a member of the pop group Blackpink. A gala performance is not a tour show. It is usually a short set played late in the evening, in front of a seated audience of a few hundred people from across the creative industries.

No set list has been announced. That is normal for this kind of booking, where the music is kept back for the night itself. The focus remains on Celmins and Villeneuve, with ROSÉ to close the evening.
