BLACKPINK set the Tokyo Dome ablaze in Japan, successfully wrapping up three sold-out shows and drawing a total of 165,000 attendees.
On the 16th, 17th, and 18th, BLACKPINK held its concert “BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [DEADLINE] IN TOKYO” at the Tokyo Dome. Following their previous appearances in 2019 and 2023, this marked their third time performing at the Tokyo Dome, and tickets sold out immediately upon release. Over the three days, the group gathered 165,000 fans, once again proving their strong presence in the Japanese market.
Excitement was already intense even before the show began. A series of commemorative pop-up stores was organized for the event, along with various collaborative merchandise. On the first day, an illumination campaign lit up four major Japanese towers at the same time: Kobe Port Tower, Tokyo Tower, Nagoya Mirai Tower, and Sapporo TV Tower. Around the Tokyo Dome, long lines formed for fans purchasing official goods.
On stage, BLACKPINK fully displayed its power. The concert opened with “Kill this love” and “Pink venom,” instantly captivating the audience with their intense live performances. The group’s sound, backed by a live band and YG’s masterful production, enhanced the immersive experience. The members performed songs spanning their entire career—from their debut tracks “Whistle” and “Boombayah” to “Jump,” a new song revealed during the tour, through a dynamic and energetic setlist.
During the encore, all four members moved throughout the venue to interact closely with fans, while the crowd responded with nonstop cheers and applause until the very end. BLACKPINK shared:
“Time went by so fast, it’s sad that it’s already over. We received incredible energy over these three days. We want to express our love and gratitude to every single one of you.”
BLACKPINK will meet its fans again on the 24th, 25th, and 26th in Hong Kong at the Kai Tak Stadium, where they will conclude their world tour “BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [DEADLINE]”, which included 33 shows across 16 cities. The group will then release their third mini-album “DEADLINE” on February 27 at 2 PM KST.
