BLACKPINK to Launch 2025 World Tour, Starting in Seoul in July and Ending at Wembley Stadium in August

BLACKPINK, the flagship group of global K-pop, is set to embark on its 2025 world tour. Produced by Live Nation, this tour will begin on July 5 at the Goyang Stadium in Seoul and conclude on August 15 at Wembley Stadium in London. The group plans to hold limited stadium-scale performances across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The tour schedule starts with two days of shows in Seoul on July 5 and 6, followed by stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, and Barcelona, before ending at Wembley Stadium. The performance at Wembley Stadium is particularly significant as it marks the first time BLACKPINK will headline this historic venue as a K-pop female group. BLACKPINK is returning to full-scale album activities after approximately 3 years and 5 months since the release of its second studio album, *Born Pink*, in September 2022. Their third mini-album, *DEADLINE*, set to be released on the 27th, is highly anticipated as it captures the group’s current status ahead of their 10th anniversary. The album will feature a total of 5 tracks, including the title track “GO.” The lead single “JUMP,” released last July, reached number 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and Global Exclusives US charts, as well as number 28 on the Hot 100. On Spotify, it recorded 7 million streams on its first day, setting the highest debut performance record for a K-pop single in 2025. Between tour dates, BLACKPINK’s members have also made significant strides in their solo careers. Rosé became the first K-pop artist to be nominated for major Grammy Awards categories such as Record of the Year with her hit song “APT.,” and she even performed at the ceremony’s opening stage. Jennie had her first studio album, *Ruby*, named one of Rolling Stone’s “Best Albums of 2025” and won the Global Force award at the Billboard Music Awards. Jisoo dominated Billboard charts with her solo songs “Earthquake” and “Eyes Closed,” while Lisa achieved the first solo artist to win three awards in the “Best K-Pop” category at the MTV VMA Awards with “Born Again.” BLACKPINK also delivered outstanding results as a group. They successfully completed their world tour, which included 33 performances in 16 cities around the world. Notably, they became the first K-pop female singer to perform at Wembley Stadium in London. The “Born Pink World Tour” held from 2022 to 2023 set a record as the highest-grossing tour by a female group, attracting over 1.8 million fans worldwide. They also hold the title of the artist with the most subscribers on YouTube, currently boasting over 95 million subscribers. Meanwhile, ahead of the release of their new album *DEADLINE* on February 27, BLACKPINK is expected to face chart competition with IVE. As IVE releases its second studio album, *REVIVE+*, on the 23rd, a fierce rivalry between the top K-pop female groups is likely to unfold with just four days separating their releases.
