Cue the confetti and crank up “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” because the queens of K-pop are officially back in action! Today, February 24, 2025, BLACKPINK dropped a bombshell announcement that’s got Blinks across the Asia-Pacific losing their minds: new tour dates for their 2025 World Tour, with a sizzling lineup of stops that’ll bring Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa to a city near you. From Seoul’s electric streets to Tokyo’s neon glow and Sydney’s sun-soaked shores, the Pinks are ready to paint the region black and pink—and fans are already camping out for tickets!
The news hit like a glitter grenade this morning when YG Entertainment unleashed the update on X, teasing, “BLACKPINK’s coming for you, Asia-Pacific—2025 just got hotter!” The expanded tour schedule adds a slew of must-see shows to their already colossal global trek, kicking off with a bang in Seoul this spring, followed by Tokyo’s iconic domes, and a rare Sydney stadium gig that’s got Aussie Blinks screaming “Shut Down” at the top of their lungs. Dates are still trickling out—YG loves a good suspense game—but the promise of more Asia-Pacific love has sent the fandom into overdrive.
Fresh off their latest album drop, Born Pink 2.0 (yes, the sequel we didn’t know we needed!), BLACKPINK is riding a wave of chart-topping glory. “This tour is about connecting with our fans—it’s personal,” Jisoo said in a press snippet today, her trademark cool-girl vibe sparking a million heart-eyes emojis online. Meanwhile, Jennie’s been hyping the setlist, hinting at “new surprises” that’ll make jaws drop. Rosé and Lisa? They’re keeping it coy, but backstage pics of them rehearsing killer choreography have already leaked, and let’s just say: expect fireworks.
The Asia-Pacific leg is a love letter to the region that birthed K-pop’s global takeover. Seoul’s KSPO Dome will host a multi-night extravaganza—think dazzling灯光 (lights), next-level fashion, and enough fan chants to shake the Han River. Tokyo’s Blinks are gearing up for a J-pop-meets-K-pop spectacle, with rumors swirling of a collab with a Japanese idol group (Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, anyone?). Down under, Sydney’s Accor Stadium is prepped for a historic night—BLACKPINK’s first Aussie headline show since 2019, and insiders say it’s already on track to sell out faster than you can say “Pink Venom.”
Ticket fever hit peak levels within hours of the announcement. “I’ve got my VPN ready and my credit card out—Seoul, here I come!” tweeted one fan, while a Sydney Blink posted a vid of her doing Lisa’s rap from “How You Like That” captioned, “Practicing for the mosh pit!” YG’s dropping presale deets tomorrow, February 25, and word on the street is VIP packages include soundcheck access and exclusive merch. Blinks, start saving those coins—this is war!
The tour’s timing couldn’t be more perfect. After slaying 2024 with solo projects—Jennie’s acting debut, Rosé’s acoustic EP, Lisa’s dance collabs, and Jisoo’s fashion reign—BLACKPINK’s reunion on stage feels like a victory lap. “We’ve missed this energy,” Lisa told a Korean outlet today, flashing that megawatt smile. “The Asia-Pacific crowd always brings it!” And with new tracks to flex, plus classics like “Boombayah” and “Lovesick Girls,” the setlist promises to be a rollercoaster of feels.
From Manila to Jakarta, fans who missed today’s initial drop are begging for more dates, and YG’s cryptic “Stay tuned” has them hopeful. For now, BLACKPINK’s Asia-Pacific takeover is locked and loaded—2025’s shaping up to be their year, and Blinks are ready to stan harder than ever. Get your lightsticks charged, your vocal cords warmed, and your outfits fierce—the Pinks are coming, and they’re bringing the heat!
