The group BLACKPINK has announced the first phase of their massive 2025 world tour plan, which includes stadium performances.
On the 20th, their agency YG Entertainment posted the 'BLACKPINK 2025 WORLD TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT' on their official blog. The poster contains the schedule for the new world tour in 2025, which will take them to various countries around the world, including Korea, North America, Europe, and Japan.
According to the announcement, BLACKPINK will kick off their performances on July 5 and 6 at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium, followed by stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, and Tokyo, totaling 10 locations.
While the full details have not yet been revealed, all the locations announced 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 LA's SoFi Stadium, Chicago's Soldier Field, Toronto's Rogers Centre, New York's Citi Field, France's Stade de France, Milan's Ippodromo Snai La Maura, Barcelona's Estadi Olímpic, and Tokyo Dome, further solidifying their status as a top global group.
YG stated, "We are preparing for a scale and quality of performance that rivals 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 audiences worldwide heightened fans' expectations, with the confirmed cities and the phrase 'AND MORE' prominently displayed in the video.
