Pop Culture & Art February 20, 2025

Global K-pop sensation BLACKPINK has officially announced their highly anticipated 2025 world tour, including U.S. stadium dates and stops across Asia and Europe.

The chart-topping quartet—Lisa, Rosé, Jisoo, and Jennie—will kick off their summer tour in Seoul, South Korea, before making their way to major cities like Los Angeles, New York, and London.

YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun-suk previously teased the group’s comeback, stating in July 2024: "There will be a highly anticipated comeback from BLACKPINK, and it will also be the year BLACKPINK starts their world tour."

Since their 2016 debut, BLACKPINK has dominated the global music scene with hits like "Boombayah," "DDU-DU DDU-DU," and "Kill This Love." They also made history as the first Korean girl group to perform at Coachella in 2019.

Their last tour, Born Pink World Tour (2022-2023), shattered records with 66 shows and 1.8 million tickets sold.

While excitement surrounds BLACKPINK’s 2025 world tour, many fans have expressed frustration and disappointment over the limited tour locations, as the group is once again performing in the same select countries they have historically visited. BLINKs from regions like South America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia feel left out, calling for more diverse tour stops.

Additionally, some fans are discontented with the lack of new group music, as BLACKPINK has not released any collective material since their 2022 Born Pink album. Instead, the focus has been on solo projects, with members Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo pursuing individual careers.

Tickets for BLACKPINK’s world tour go on sale on Thursday, February 27, via LiveNation.com.
