BLACKPINK World Tour 2025 will take place in multiple countries, starting in South Korea and including major cities such as Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. The group will perform at Wembley Stadium, making history as the first female K-pop act to hold a concert there. Fans are excited about the large-scale tour, which is expected to strengthen YG Entertainment’s position in the industry.
BLACKPINK World Tour 2025: Global Schedule Revealed
YG Entertainment announced the 2025 BLACKPINK World Tour, which will take place in multiple countries, including South Korea, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, and Japan. The tour begins on July 5 and 6 at Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium. From there, the group will perform in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, and Tokyo. This tour marks the group’s first full-unit performances in one year and ten months since their last tour ended in September 2023 at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome.
YG Entertainment is responsible for BLACKPINK’s full-group activities, including albums and tours, while each member’s solo promotions are handled by separate agencies. The newly announced tour schedule is the first phase of planning, and additional dates may be added.
BLACKPINK World Tour 2025: Historic Wembley Stadium Concert
BLACKPINK will perform at Wembley Stadium in London, making history as the first female K-pop act to do so. Wembley, which can hold up to 90,000 people, is considered a dream stage in the global music industry. The last K-pop group to hold a concert there was BTS in 2019. BLACKPINK’s performance highlights their worldwide influence and solidifies their position as a top-tier global act.
Wembley Stadium has hosted major events such as the 1948 London Olympics opening and closing ceremonies, the 2012 Olympic soccer final, and the 1985 Live Aid concert, which was featured in the film Bohemian Rhapsody. The venue, originally built in 1923, was reconstructed in 2007. In addition to Wembley, BLACKPINK will perform at other major stadiums, including SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Soldier Field in Chicago, Rogers Centre in Toronto, Citi Field in New York, Stade de France in Paris, Ippodromo Snai La Maura in Milan, Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona, and Tokyo Dome. YG Entertainment emphasized that the tour will feature large-scale productions and the highest-quality performances.
YG Entertainment’s Challenges and BLACKPINK’s Influence
In 2023, YG Entertainment ranked the lowest among the four major K-pop agencies in concert attendance due to BLACKPINK’s absence. HYBE successfully maintained its concert numbers despite BTS members’ military enlistment by relying on groups like SEVENTEEN, TXT, and ENHYPEN. SM Entertainment saw strong performances from NCT Dream, NCT 127, and aespa, while JYP Entertainment continued its success with Stray Kids, TWICE, ITZY, and DAY6.
Among YG Entertainment’s artists, TREASURE had the highest concert attendance, drawing 574,000 fans across 50 concerts. However, this was significantly lower than HYBE’s top group, SEVENTEEN, which attracted nearly 1.15 million fans from just 36 concerts. BLACKPINK’s return to touring is expected to improve YG Entertainment’s performance and reaffirm their dominance in the industry.
Fans React to BLACKPINK’s Wembley Stadium Performance
The announcement of BLACKPINK’s Wembley Stadium concert sparked excitement on Korean online communities such as MLBPARK. Fans expressed amazement that a South Korean girl group would perform at a venue that holds 90,000 people. Some even compared BLACKPINK’s influence to BTS and called them the world’s number one girl group.
Many fans highlighted the impressive stadium capacities for this tour. In addition to Wembley, Milan’s Ippodromo Snai La Maura can accommodate 80,000 people, and other venues can also hold tens of thousands. Some fans clarified that after stage setup, Wembley’s actual concert capacity would range from 40,000 to 60,000. Regardless, the scale of BLACKPINK’s upcoming tour reinforces their status as a dominant force in K-pop.
