BLACKPINK Kicks Off ‘DEADLINE’ World Tour in LA with 100,000 Fans, Record-Breaking Back-to-Back Sold-Out Shows at SoFi Stadium

BLACKPINK is not just in your area. BLACKPINK owns your area.

And if you were anywhere near Los Angeles this past weekend, you felt it. The energy? Electric. The outfits? Flawless. The vocals? Heaven-sent. The choreography? Sharp enough to cut glass. And the crowd? A roaring, 100,000-strong sea of Blinks who showed up and showed out to witness history as BLACKPINK kicked off their highly anticipated “BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR ” with back-to-back sold-out shows at LA’s SoFi Stadium.

FIRST GIRL GROUP TO SELL OUT SOFI STADIUM TWICE

That’s right. Not once, but twice. BLACKPINK became the first girl group in history to sell out the massive SoFi Stadium for two consecutive nights, making history yet again in the global pop arena.

On July 12 and 13, the girls took over one of America’s most iconic venues and packed it to capacity with over 100,000 fans. That’s not just a concert. It’s a cultural takeover.

And what a way to start their North American tour, which marks their long-awaited return to the continent after nearly three years.

FOUR QUEENS. FOUR SOLO STAGES. TOTAL DOMINATION.

From the moment the lights dropped and the opening notes boomed from the live band, the stadium erupted. The energy was off the charts, and it stayed there all night long. Each member brought their unique flair to the stage in their solo performances, making it clear that BLACKPINK isn’t just a group. It’s a collective of four untouchable powerhouses.

• JISOO served ethereal goddess realness with a performance that was both dreamy and heartbreakingly emotive.
• LISA lit the stage on fire. A dance phenom with unstoppable charisma, she left jaws on the floor.
• JENNIE was the moment, delivering a bold, sexy, hip-hop-infused set that screamed boss energy.
• ROSÉ, with vocals that could melt diamonds, brought raw emotion and unmatched stage warmth that had the whole stadium swaying.

And when the four reunited for their group stages? Boom. That’s when the real magic ignited.

PRODUCTION? YG UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT.

When you go to a BLACKPINK concert, you’re not just watching a show. You’re entering another dimension.

YG Entertainment pulled out all the stops. Massive LED visuals, firework bursts, live band enhancements, high fashion styling, and a multi-tiered stage design that allowed all 100,000 fans to feel close to their queens. Each moment was Instagrammable. Each beat? Earth-shaking. And the girls never missed a step.

BLACKPINK’s synergy, stamina, and stage presence have reached elite status. And it shows.

FROM LA TO THE WORLD: TOUR DATES AND GLOBAL DOMINANCE

With LA now conquered, BLACKPINK is packing up the pink jet and heading east to Chicago, Toronto, and New York, before going global with dates in Milan, Barcelona, London, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Jakarta, Bulacan, Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.

Altogether, the DEADLINE tour will hit 31 concerts across 16 cities, many of them at stadium capacity. So yes. This is shaping up to be another record-breaking global run for the world’s biggest girl group.

“JUMP” GOES #1 IN 60 COUNTRIES

And as if launching the biggest girl group tour of the year wasn’t enough, BLACKPINK also dropped a brand-new digital single, “JUMP”, just one day before their LA debut.

The track skyrocketed to No. 1 on iTunes Top Songs in over 60 regions, and immediately took the top spots on YouTube’s Worldwide Trending and Popular Rising charts. The music video is already topping the Global Daily Popular Music Video chart, and Blinks are eating it up.

A LEGACY WRITTEN IN PINK DIAMONDS

Since their 2016 debut, BLACKPINK, comprised of JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ, and LISA, has become nothing short of a phenomenon. They’ve achieved what many believed was impossible.

• They were the first K-pop girl group to top both the US Billboard 200 and the UK Official Albums Chart
• The first Asian female artists to headline Coachella
• The masterminds behind the largest K-pop girl group world tour in history, drawing 1.8 million attendees across 66 shows
• And now, the first girl group to sell out SoFi Stadium twice

They are million-sellers. They are icons. They are leaders of a global movement that transcends language and geography. With each new era, BLACKPINK redefines what it means to be a girl group in the modern music industry.
