When it comes to the global phenomenon that is BLACKPINK, no introductions are needed. Since their 2016 debut, the K-pop girl group has dominated not only music and dance but also fashion and acting, solidifying their status as one of the leading pioneers of the Korean Wave. Now, BLACKPINK have kicked off their “DEADLINE” World Tour with a two-day concert in Goyang, South Korea, on July 5th and 6th, thrilling fans with new music and unforgettable performances.

The “DEADLINE” World Tour marks BLACKPINK’s third worldwide concert tour and fourth tour overall. It’s also their first all-stadium tour, which began on July 5th, 2025, at Goyang Stadium in South Korea and is set to conclude on January 25th, 2026, at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong.

This long-awaited tour is BLACKPINK’s first in three years, and naturally, excitement and speculation about the setlist and potential new releases had BLINKs around the world buzzing with anticipation. Ahead of opening day, YG Entertainment dropped an official tour trailer featuring all four members dressed in stunning outfits, cruising down the road in a convertible car with license plates boldly displaying the fandom’s official name, “BL1NK”. The group also released a “Pink Zone” map of Seoul on YG’s website, hinting at events coinciding with the tour.


The tour kicked off with a bang at Goyang Stadium, where members Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa delivered two unforgettable shows.


The concerts in Goyang featured powerful renditions of BLACKPINK’s all-time classics like “Kill This Love”, “Pink Venom”, BOOMBAYAH and “DDU-DU DDU-DU”. Each member also brought her own unique flair to the stage through solo sets that highlighted their individual artistry.



Jisoo enchanted the crowd with emotional performances of “earthquake” and “Your Love”, showcasing her elegant vocals and graceful stage presence. Lisa lit up the arena with fierce charisma and sharp execution of choreography during “New Woman” and “Rockstar”. Jennie commanded the stage with confident swagger, delivering dynamic versions of “Mantra”, “with the IE (way up)”, and “like JENNIE”. Meanwhile, Rosé captivated fans with her soulful voice and heartfelt emotion in “3am”, “toxic till the end”, and, of course, “APT.”.


During the two-day event, the group also premiered their upcoming single, “Jump”, marking their first new release since their 2022 Born Pink studio album. 



While the venue was packed with fans, what caught even more attention was the surprising celebrity turnout. Among the attendees were BTS’s J-Hope, TWICE’s Nayeon and Jihyo, Red Velvet’s Irene and Seulgi, SEVENTEEN members Mingyu, The8, and Jeonghan, LE SSERAFIM, IVE, BABYMONSTER, EXO’s Suho, i-dle’s Minnie, Hyeri, and actor Lee Min Ho, just to name a few.

From Goyang, BLACKPINK will go on to perform in 15 more stops, including shows in LA, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, and more.
