North West rocked the crowd at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash 2026 music festival in her first solo music festival performance.
Videos shared on Instagram Friday — which were reshared by proud parents Kim Kardashian and Kanye West — showed the 12-year-old performing like a pro as the crowd sang along to her songs.
She wore a long blue wig, which she styled in a half-up, half-down look with two pony tails, a black balenciaga top and matching skirt, black sneaker boots, and a pair of oversized black shades for the performance.
In one post, the SKIMS founder, 45, showed a photo of two backstage passes with North’s face and name across the front.
West, 49, reposted a clip of his eldest daughter giving a rendition of their 2024 song, “TALKING,” which is featured on his album “Vultures 1.”
Several posts from Kim’s stylist, Dani Levi, showed more footage from the show including a photo of her and North posing backstage together as well as a clip of her performing onstage.
Other family members who showed their support for North via social media included her uncle Rob Kardashian, aunt Khloé Kardashian, and grandmother Kris Jenner.
Kardashian’s appearance at her daughter’s side comes as no surprise as the reality star has long been a vocal supporter of her daughter’s creative expression online — which has been widely criticized in recent years due to its edgy look that includes finger piercings and blackened grills.
In October 2025, she came to North’s defense when she shut down critics of North’s fashion choices.
“You know, [expressing herself] makes [North] so happy. I would never take that creativity away from her,” Kardashian said on an episode of “Call Her Daddy.”
North made her first music festival performance appearance in May when she shocked fans with a surprise cameo at Rolling Loud music festival in Orlando, Florida.
At the time, she joined rapper Molly Santana onstage where they performed an unreleased collaboration.
She wore her signature blue hair for the performance, along with a pair of dark sunglasses, a leather top and matching skirt.
The young musician hit the stage in May just days after she released her debut EP, “N0rth4evr.”
At just 12, North appears to be a natural on stage after having done several shows with her famous dad.
She joined her dad onstage at Kanye’s comeback concert in Los Angeles in April where she notably, performed “Piercing My Hand.”
