Live Nation

Over 100 thousand fans attended the Los Angeles shows

Blackpink made history again, launching their North American tour with an electrifying opening in the United States, one of the world’s top music markets.

On July 12th, the K-pop superstars held the Blackpink World Tour Deadline in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium. With a second show on July 13th, they became the first girl group ever to sell out the venue for two consecutive nights, setting a new record with more than 100,000 fans.

Returning to North America for the first time in nearly three years, Blackpink was met with a feverish reception. As the powerful live band kicked in, fans roared with excitement as the group delivered an explosive, hit-packed set.

The solo stages were clear standouts. Jisoo captivated the crowd with her dreamy, emotive performance; Lisa mesmerized them with a magnetic, charismatic performance. Jennie brought a bold attitude and a signature hip-hop style, while Rosé heated up the stadium with her delicate vocals and lively energy.

YG’s signature high-quality production values and Blackpink’s unmatched stage presence filled the massive venue. Every moment delivered a sense of spectacle, with the members moving seamlessly across the stage to keep the audience fully engaged.

Having successfully wrapped up the LA show, the starting point of their seven-show, four-city North American leg, Blackpink now heads to Chicago, Toronto, and New York. From there, the tour will continue to stadium-scale venues around the world, with dates in Milan, Barcelona, London, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Jakarta, Bulacan, Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, on July 11th, the group released their new digital single “Jump.” The song soared to No. 1 on iTunes Top Songs charts in 60 regions, topping worldwide charts. On YouTube, it immediately hit No. 1 on Worldwide Trending and Popular Rising charts, and claimed the top spot on the Global Daily Popular Music Video chart.
