BLACKPINK will launch its 2025 world tour with two concerts at Goyang Stadium in South Korea on July 5–6, marking the first time a K-pop girl group headlines solo shows at the venue. The tour, produced by Live Nation, includes 18 stadium performances across 10 cities in Asia, North America, and Europe, concluding with three nights at Tokyo Dome in January 2026.
Historic Kickoff in Goyang
The Goyang concerts will take place at the 35,000-capacity Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium, a milestone for K-pop girl groups. The shows will feature upgraded production compared to the group’s 2022 Born Pink tour, with larger stages, advanced lighting, and high-resolution screens. Pre-sale tickets for BLINK Membership holders on Weverse begin May 8, 2025, followed by general sales on May 15.
Expanded Tour Schedule Across Three Continents
After Goyang, BLACKPINK will perform in Los Angeles (July 12–13), Chicago (July 18), Toronto (July 22–23), and New York (July 26–27). European stops include Paris (August 2–3), Milan (August 6), Barcelona (August 9), and London (August 15–16), where they will become the first K-pop girl group to headline Wembley Stadium. The tour concludes with three Tokyo Dome shows in January 2026.
Due to high demand, additional dates were added in Los Angeles, Toronto, New York, Paris, and London after initial tickets sold out within hours.
Ticketing Process and Pricing
BLINK Membership holders gain access to premium seating by entering their Weverse membership number during Ticketmaster sales. General tickets start at $100 for upper-level seating, with VIP packages exceeding $4,000. Resale tickets are available via platforms like StubHub, though fans are cautioned against unauthorized sellers.
Production and Setlist Expectations
The tour will include hits like DDU-DU DDU-DU, How You Like That, and tracks from the Born Pink album. Solo stages are anticipated, featuring members’ individual projects, such as Rosé’s APT and Lisa’s Born Again. Concerts will run approximately 2–2.5 hours, with merchandise including light sticks ($50–70) and tour-exclusive collectibles.
Members’ Solo Careers and New Music
Since renewing group contracts with YG Entertainment in late 2023, the members have pursued solo ventures:
Lisa signed with RCA Records, released Alter Ego, and stars in HBO’s The White Lotus Season 3.
Rosé partnered with Atlantic Records and topped charts with APT.
Jennie joined Columbia Records and will debut her album Ruby in March 2025.
Jisoo released her EP Amortage and stars in Netflix’s Boyfriend on Demand.
Rosé hinted at potential new group music during the tour, though no official announcements have been made.
Fan Reactions and Industry Impact
The tour announcement sparked excitement among BLINKs, with social media posts amassing millions of engagements. However, fans in Southeast Asia and South America expressed disappointment over omitted stops. The Born Pink tour previously drew 1.8 million attendees, grossing $148.3 million, and remains the highest-grossing tour by a K-pop girl group.
BLACKPINK’s 2025 tour reinforces their status as global icons, following achievements like headlining Coachella 2023 and holding YouTube’s most-subscribed music channel (95 million).
