Excitement is in the air as BLACKPINK gears up for their highly anticipated Deadline World Tour. Fans, affectionately known as BLINKs, were treated to a captivating teaser that has heightened expectations and generated buzz across social media platforms. The 30-second promotional video, released on May 23, features a dramatic sonic landscape underscored by a strong, metallic synth drone. As the visuals unfold, three-dimensional letters emerge from a shimmering pool of pink glitter, culminating with the dramatic announcement of “DEADLINE” as the sparkles dissolve away.
This tour marks an exciting return for BLACKPINK after their successful Born Pink World Tour, which took place during 2022-2023. That tour grossed an impressive $148.3 million, selling over 703,000 tickets across 29 shows, positioning the group prominently on Billboard’s 2023 Top Tours chart. Fans can expect the Deadline World Tour to kick off at Goyang Stadium in Goyang, South Korea, on July 5, before they embark on a series of performances across major cities globally.
After their initial two shows in Goyang, BLACKPINK will take their electrifying performances to iconic stadiums in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, and London, ultimately concluding the tour in Tokyo, Japan, on January 16-18, 2026. This extensive itinerary reflects the group’s growing global influence and the unwavering support from their fan base. Every stop promises to be filled with unforgettable moments, showcasing BLACKPINK’s signature blend of music, dance, and charisma.
Fans are not only looking forward to the tour but are also hopeful for new music. Since their last album, Born Pink, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2022, there has been a noticeable absence of new releases from the quartet. However, the members have hinted at studio sessions prior to the tour. LISA recently shared her enthusiasm, revealing in a Variety interview that they were working on new material. “We’re all so super excited to get back together and go on tour. We really miss the BLINKs. We can’t wait to see them,” she expressed, adding to the anticipation of what’s to come.
The upcoming tour will also provide a perfect reunion for the members who have spent the last couple of years pursuing individual projects. Each member has made significant strides in their solo careers—ROSÉ and JENNIE both released their debut albums, while JISOO wowed audiences with a solo EP and ventured into acting. This diverse array of projects showcases their individual talents and artistic growth, while also fueling excitement for their collaboration as a group. The blend of solo experiences is sure to enhance the dynamic of the tour, creating a rich tapestry of performances that celebrate both their individuality and unity.
As the countdown progresses, fans are eagerly awaiting the launch of the Deadline World Tour. The teaser has set the stage, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in an experience that promises to be visually stunning and sonically captivating. Those wishing to catch a glimpse of this thrilling new chapter for BLACKPINK can watch the trailer online, further amplifying the excitement as the tour date approaches.
