BLACKPINK is back on the road, and this time, they are going bigger than ever. The group launched their third worldwide concert tour, named the DEADLINE World Tour, on July 5, 2025.
It marks their first all-stadium tour and stands as the largest tour by any K-pop girl group in history. YG Entertainment confirmed the tour on February 5, 2025, and fans have been following every stop since.
This tour is not just another round of concerts. It is a full-scale global run that stretches across five continents. With 33 concerts across 16 major cities, it shows how far BLACKPINK has come since their debut.
Each stop has seen packed stadiums, glowing fan oceans, and high-profile moments that turn heads across the industry.
The schedule runs from July 2025 to January 2026. Right now, the tour is in progress. The North America and Europe legs have wrapped up successfully. The next stops will be in Asia from October 2025 through January 2026.
BLACKPINK DEADLINE World Tour 2025 Full Schedule
The tour opened in Goyang, South Korea, with two back-to-back nights on July 5 and 6. Those shows alone brought in over $19 million in revenue and more than 75,000 fans each night.
They then crossed the Pacific for their North America leg. Los Angeles came first on July 12 and 13 at SoFi Stadium. It included a surprise moment when Bruno Mars joined Rosé on stage to perform “APT.”
The crowd went wild. Celebrity guests like BTS’s RM and SUGA were also seen at the LA shows, proving how widely respected the group is among their peers.
Chicago followed on July 18 at Soldier Field, then Toronto on July 22 and 23 at Rogers Stadium. They closed the North America run with two sold-out nights at New York’s Citi Field on July 26 and 27.
Europe took over August. Paris welcomed them on August 2 and 3 at the Stade de France. Milan saw them on August 6, Barcelona on August 9, and London on August 15 and 16 at Wembley Stadium. Every show sold out within minutes.
Now, the focus shifts to Asia. These are the confirmed dates:

These extra shows in Singapore and Hong Kong were announced recently due to overwhelming demand. Tickets for most stops sold out almost instantly, which pushed YG Entertainment to add more shows.
Breaking Records and Making History
The DEADLINE World Tour is more than just a milestone for BLACKPINK. It is changing how people see K-pop girl groups on a global scale. This is the first time they are performing only in massive stadiums, and it sets a new benchmark for female acts in the industry.
Each venue seats more than 75,000 fans. The opening shows in Goyang alone pulled in around $19.26 million in revenue. It signals not only their popularity but also their staying power after a 17-month break since the Born Pink tour.
Fans are also seeing something new from the group. They are performing “JUMP,” a brand-new comeback single, as part of the setlist. Each member also has solo stages that highlight their latest music. These solo moments let them show different sides of their artistry.
The tour has become known for its celebrity presence. Seeing big names from the music world and fellow K-pop idols in the audience has become common. It builds a sense of scale and proves BLACKPINK’s influence beyond just their fanbase.
Ticket Access and Global Demand
Finding tickets has been a challenge for many fans. Most shows sold out within minutes. Some cities had fans camping online hours before sales opened. YG has responded by adding new dates in markets where demand kept growing, like Singapore and Hong Kong.
Fans can get tickets through platforms like Weverse, Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and various local vendors. A few Asian stops still have limited availability, but they are disappearing quickly.
The interest proves how wide the tour’s reach has become. BLACKPINK has managed to turn this tour into a global event while keeping their performances sharp and high energy.
Your DEADLINE Tour Experience: A Fan’s Guide
Planning to see BLACKPINK live? Here’s what you need to know to make the most of it, based on patterns from the earlier legs:
-
Merchandise: Official tour merch booths outside the venues have been notorious for long lines. The most sought-after items (limited edition lightsticks, tour-exclusive hoodies) often sell out within the first hour. Consider arriving very early if specific merch is a priority.
-
Setlist Timing: While the setlist is a closely guarded secret, fan reports indicate the concert runtime is approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes, including encore. Solo stages typically occur in the middle third of the show.
-
Fan Projects: BLINKs are known for organized fan projects. Check Twitter/X and Instagram feeds for official fan unions in your city (#DEADLINE_[CityName]) in the days leading up to the concert for details on coordinated banner waves, slogans, or lightstick cues during specific songs.
-
Transportation & Safety: Stadiums hold 70,000+ people. Public transportation is always the best bet. Expect significant traffic and road closures around the venue. Plan your exit strategy beforehand; ride-share apps will have surge pricing and designated pick-up zones can be chaotic.
A Global Moment for BLACKPINK
The scale of the BLACKPINK DEADLINE World Tour 2025 schedule shows how far the group has come. They are not just performing concerts.
They are proving they can headline the biggest stadiums in the world. The success also reflects the loyalty of their fanbase, who continue to support them after years together.
As the Asia leg approaches, all eyes are on how they close out this run. By January 2026, BLACKPINK will have performed in front of millions across five continents. Few groups reach this level, and even fewer do it while staying at the top of their game.
The DEADLINE World Tour is more than a success; it’s a paradigm shift. It conclusively proves that a girl group can be the biggest draw in global music, full stop.
The question is no longer if BLACKPINK can headline stadiums, but for how long they can continue to sell them out and which groups might follow in their footsteps.
This tour isn’t just closing a chapter on their career; it’s setting the new rulebook for the next generation of K-pop acts. The deadline for everyone else to catch up starts now.
