K-pop girl group Blackpink have announced the dates and venues for their highly anticipated world tour, and it seems that Singapore is not included – at least for now.
The tour will kick off with a two-night gig at Goyang Stadium in South Korea on July 5 and 6 before travelling to the North American cities of Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto and New York. In Los Angeles, the quartet – made up of Jennie, Jisoo, Rose and Lisa – will perform at the 70,000-capacity SoFi Stadium.
After North America, Blackpink will head to Europe and play in Paris, Milan, Barcelona and London, before ending the tour in Tokyo, Japan, with a three-night performance from Jan 16 to 18, 2026. It is not known if more stops will be announced.
It will be their first world tour since the Born Pink tour, which ran from October 2022 to September 2023, and included a two-night stop at Singapore’s National Stadium.
The quartet have not released a new album together since 2022’s Born Pink, but Rose recently told American magazine The Cut that they are working on new music.
The four members have been busy with solo projects.
Thai singer Lisa, 27, recently made her acting debut in Max’s third season of the award-winning comedy-drama series The White Lotus (2021 to present), which premiered on Feb 16.
On Feb 28, she will release her debut studio album Alter Ego. It includes the song Born Again (2025) – featuring American rapper Doja Cat and British singer-songwriter Raye – which was used in a trailer for The White
Lotus 3.
Lisa will also put out an accompanying comic book titled Alter Ego: The Official Comic.

According to South Korean news outlet The Korea Herald, the 56-page book, with a story by Lisa and art from Japanese illustrator Minomiyabi, is inspired by themes from the Alter Ego album. The comic introduces five characters – Roxi, Kiki, Vixi, Sunni and Speedi – each representing a different facet of Lisa’s personality.
South Korean member Jennie, 29, will release her debut solo studio album Ruby on March 7, which features American rappers Childish Gambino and Doechii, as well as English-Albanian pop star Dua Lipa.
Both Lisa and Jennie will perform at famed music festival Coachella, which will be held in California in April.
New Zealand-born Rose, 28, released her debut studio album Rosie in December 2024, which included the viral track Apt., featuring American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars.
South Korean singer-actress Jisoo, 30, dropped her debut solo EP Amortage on Feb 14 and headlines the zombie K-drama Newtopia, which is available on Prime Video.
