On the 20th, YG Entertainment posted the 'BLACKPINK 2025 WORLD TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT' on their official blog. The announcement includes a poster detailing the new world tour schedule that will take them to various countries around the world, including South Korea, North America, Europe, and Japan.

While the full details have not yet been revealed, all the locations disclosed so far are stadium-level venues that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, drawing attention. Notably, BLACKPINK will be the first K-pop female artist to perform at London's Wembley Stadium, known as the 'dream stage' in the heart of pop music. Additionally, their solo concert at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium will also be a first for a K-pop girl group.
Moreover, BLACKPINK will once again stand shoulder to shoulder with global musicians. They are set to perform at iconic venues such as SoFi Stadium in LA, Soldier Field in Chicago, Rogers Centre in Toronto, Citi Field in New York, Stade de France in Paris, Ippodromo Snai La Maura in Milan, Estadi Olímpic in Barcelona, and Tokyo Dome, further solidifying their status as a top global group.
YG stated, "We are preparing for an unprecedented scale and the best performances that rival the [BORN PINK] tour, which wrote a new history for K-pop," and added, "We ask for your continued interest in the additional locations and dates that will be announced in the future."
Meanwhile, the teaser released on the same day highlighted moments from the previous [BORN PINK] tour, which set a new record for K-pop girl group world tours with over 1.8 million attendees. The explosive stage presence of BLACKPINK and the enthusiasm of fans worldwide heightened viewers' heart rates, with the confirmed cities and the phrase 'AND MORE' prominently displayed in the video, raising fans' expectations to the highest level.
