BLACKPINK Announces New World Tour
The iconic K-pop girl group BLACKPINK has just announced their new world tour coming to cities like Los Angeles, New York, and more.
The announcement lists their upcoming concerts in the cities of Goyang, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, Tokyo, and more to be announced soon.
The announcement video comes after a year of each of the members, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo, dedicated time to their successful solo careers.
Last year, Rosé dropped her album Rosie and had her song “APT,” featuring Bruno Mars peak at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, making history as the first female K-pop artist to do so. This year has seen Jisoo’s EP AMORTAGE and the anticipation of the album releases for Lisa’s Alter Ego and Jennie’s Ruby coming out later this year.
Blinks have excitedly been posting about the world tour, writing, “BLACKPINK tour starting in july which means we’re getting the comeback likely in april and album in june. 3 years later and the girls are finally returning!”
More good news for Blinks: Rosé has already confirmed to The Cut that new BLACKPINK music will be coming soon.
The girls are also excited for their return, with Jennie commenting about the upcoming tour to Billboard.
She stated, “I’m excited to see what everyone brings. You know, everyone took their own journey [during] this time, and I’m excited to share that with the girls. I want to say it’s going to be the most powerful [versions] of ourselves that anyone has seen.”
While promoting her first solo EP, AMORTAGE, Jisoo was also interviewed by Billboard and asked about the tour.
She commented, “I think last year, as each member focused on individual activities, we all grew a lot. We listened to a lot of music and tried doing things on our own, gaining experience. Now, as we come together for this year, I feel like we’ll be able to return with an even bigger and more spectacular presence.”
The anticipated world tour will kick off on July 5. Tickets go on sale Thursday, February 27 at 3:00 p.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
