Blackpink concert chronology

The Deadline World Tour is the ongoing third worldwide concert tour and the fourth overall tour by South Korean girl group Blackpink. Marketed as the group's first all-stadium tour,[a] it commenced on July 5, 2025, at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea, and will conclude on January 25, 2026, at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong.

Background

On February 5, 2025, Blackpink previewed their upcoming tour via their social media accounts. Limited details were provided at the time, with the group releasing only a brief teaser video. The clip featured fans cheering in large venues, the four members performing on stage, and ended with the message "2025 World Tour" in pink text on a black background.[3] Two weeks later on February 19, YG Entertainment unveiled a poster for a 10-city stadium tour with 13 dates, with shows across South Korea, North America, and Europe.[4]

On May 16, Blackpink announced Deadline World Tour as the tour's official title.[5] A 30-second teaser video showing the tour logo emerging from a pool of pink glitter was released on May 23.[6] On May 27, YG Entertainment announced dates for the Asia leg of the tour.[7] On June 23, the label confirmed Blackpink will debut their comeback single at the tour's first show in Goyang.[8]

On June 26, a teaser for the tour was released on various social media platforms. The trailer started off with one member at a phone booth, then showcased each member individually, and eventually all four in a pink convertible car. It then promptly ended with the phone dangling from its hook.[9] A few days later, they released a 'Pink Zone' map in Seoul, hinting at events coinciding with the tour.[10]

Reception

In a review for Rolling Stone, Tómas Mier praised the tour as a "triumphant" and "high-voltage homecoming", further describing the show to be filled with "the kind of poptimism and electric choreography we’ve come to expect from the greatest girl group of this generation". He further observed that the growth that each of the Blackpink members has achieved amidst their individual activities since the Born Pink World Tour has allowed the group to "work even better".[11] Hannah Sung of the Toronto Star scored the concert three and a half out of four stars, likewise commenting on the "spectacle" and remarking that the group was "absolutely at the top of their game, weaving hit after hit into a tight set list built into five acts plus an encore".[12]

Commercial performance

Tickets for the European and North American concerts went on sale on February 27. Due to anticipated demand, two additional shows were announced, one for each venue at Wembley Stadium in London and Stade de France in Paris.[13] Two additional shows were also announced for Citi Field in New York City, Rogers Stadium in Toronto, and SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles due to the North American shows selling out.[14]

On May 15, 2025, all tickets for the two shows at Goyang Stadium were sold out shortly after they were released.[15] Limited-view seats were then made available on May 22 to meet high demand.[16]
