North West wowed the audience at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash 2026 music festival with his first solo music festival performance.
The video, shared on Instagram on Friday and re-shared by proud parents Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, shows the 12-year-old performing like a pro as the crowd sings along to her songs.
For her performance, she wore a long blue wig and styled it with two half-up, half-down ponytails, a black Balenciaga top and matching skirt, black sneaker boots, and oversized black shades.
In one post, the SKIMS founder, 45, showed photos of two backstage passes with North’s face and name on the front.
West, 49, reposted a clip of his eldest daughter performing her 2024 song “TALKING,” from her album “Vultures 1.”
Several posts from Kim’s stylist Dani Levi feature more footage from the show, including photos of her and North posing together backstage and clips of them performing on stage.
Other family members who showed support for North via social media included uncle Rob Kardashian, aunt Khloé Kardashian, and grandmother Kris Jenner.
It’s no surprise that Kardashian appears alongside her daughter. Kardashian has long been a vocal supporter of her daughter’s creative expression online. She has been widely criticized in recent years for her edgy appearance, which includes finger piercings and a darkened grill.
In October 2025, she defended North, silencing those who criticized his 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 shocked fans with a surprise cameo at the Rolling Loud Music Festival in Orlando, Florida in May, marking his first time performing at a music festival.
At the time, she shared the stage with rapper Molly Santana, performing an unreleased collaboration.
She wore her signature blue hair for the performance, dark sunglasses, a leather top, and a matching skirt.
The young musician took the stage in May, just days after releasing his debut EP, N0rth4evr.
North is only 12 years old and seems like a natural at being on stage after performing a few shows with his famous father.
She joined her father on stage at Kanye’s comeback concert in Los Angeles in April, performing “Piercing My Hand,” among other songs.
