SINGAPORE – K-pop girl group Blackpink will play two nights at the National Stadium in November as part of their highly anticipated Deadline world tour.
Event promoter Live Nation Singapore confirmed on May 27 that the quartet will stage two shows – on Nov 29 and 30. The tour will kick off with a two-night gig at Goyang Stadium in South Korea on July 5 and 6.
The announcement added that the fan platform Weverse pre-sale for the Singapore concerts will start on June 10 at 11am, while the Visa Infinite pre-sale will begin on June 11 at 11am. General sales start on June 13 at 11am. The tickets will be sold via Ticketmaster.
Live Nation Singapore announced on May 30 that ticket prices will range from $168 to $428, excluding booking fees. VIP packages for the Blink Pit Package (Standing) and Blink Package (Seated) are also available.
It will be Blackpink’s first world tour since the Born Pink world tour, which ran from October 2022 to September 2023. That included a two-night stop at the National Stadium, where they played to 50,000 fans each night.
The group also performed at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2019.
Singapore’s Blackpink superfans, who call themselves Blinks, are cheering the news.
Student Jasmine Tok is hoping to attend both shows, adding: “I’m ready to fight the ticketing war. To be honest, if Blackpink weren’t coming to Singapore, I was ready to fly to South Korea.”
The 25-year-old travelled to California to watch members Lisa and Jennie perform as solo artistes at music festival Coachella on April 11 and 13.

She queued at the event for almost five hours to be in the front row for Jennie’s performance.
Another fan, Mr Wenhao Tan, 27, who attended the Blackpink concerts in Singapore in 2019 and 2023, said: “I was so jealous that my friends were attending concerts like Lady Gaga’s (at the National Stadium in May), but now, it is my turn to enjoy the fact that Blackpink is ‘in my area’.”
A 31-year-old, who founded Blackpink Singapore Fanbase – an online community on X – and wanted to be known only as Ms Div, is thrilled to see the group after their two-year hiatus, but was also anticipating the possibility of a new album after Born Pink (2022).
She said: “The announcement of a major world tour without any official word on a new album has definitely piqued our curiosity. It’s rare for a group to go on a tour of this scale without first releasing new material, so naturally, the anticipation among fans is higher than ever.
The Deadline world tour will also hit the North American cities of Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and New York. It will then head to Europe with stops in Paris, Milan, Barcelona and London, before ending in Tokyo with a three-night performance from Jan 16 to 18, 2026.
Other Asian cities in the line-up include Hong Kong, Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila and Kaohsiung.
The four members have been busy with singing and acting solo projects during their break from Blackpink.
South Korean member Jennie, 29, released her debut solo studio album Ruby in March.
South Korean singer-actress Jisoo, 30, dropped her debut solo EP Amortage in February. In March, she made an appearance at local mall Orchard Central for Amortage at Far East Malls, a pop-up concept store celebrating the EP’s release.
New Zealand-born Rose, 28, went viral with her track Apt., from her debut studio album Rosie (2024) and featuring American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. Her new single, Messy, for the soundtrack album of action film F1, came out on May 8.
Thai member Lisa, 28, held a fan meeting at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in November 2024
