Though not mentioned in the press release, the group’s Instagram post announcing the tour dates also revealed that 2026 shows are also coming to the Tokyo Dome in mid January.

Tickets for the shows go on sale Feb. 27 via Live Nation. Onsale start times will vary by market.

The 2025 world tour will be the first time BLACKPINK has gone on the road as a group since the Born Pink World Tour, which ran from 2022 to 2023. That trek landed the K-pop group on the Billboard‘s 2023 Top Tours chart, having sold 703,000 tickets over 29 shows during the period of eligibility; the trek grossed $148.3 million.

The group first teased the upcoming tour on Feb. 5. At the time, little information was revealed, with BLACKPINK sharing just a quick teaser video of fans screaming in massive venues, the four women on stage and the clip ending with the message “2025 World Tour” in pink lettering over a black background.

Over the past year, JENNIE, ROSÉ, JISOO and LISA have taken a break from group duties to focus on their own solo projects. LISA’s solo effort, Alter Ego, arrives at the end of the month on Feb. 28, while JENNIE‘s Ruby arrives a week later on March 7. JENNIE is also dropping a collab track with Doechii titled “ExtraL” this Friday (Feb. 21). And just last week on Valentine’s Day, JISOO dropped her mini solo album, AMORTAGE. ROSÉ’s solo album rosie arrived in early December, and also features her Billboard Hot 100 No. 3 hit “APT.” alongside Bruno Mars.

Canadian Musicians Remember Heavy Metal Pioneer Ozzy Osbourne

Following the legendary rock singer's death on Tuesday, Canadian artists like Drake, Randy Bachman, Geddy Lee, Voivod and more offer tributes and anecdotes testifying to Osbourne's immense impact.

Ozzy (John Michael) Osbourne, the English vocalist who helped create heavy metal with Black Sabbath prior to launching a highly successful solo career, died on July 22, at age 76. He had been suffering from Parkinson's Disease, a condition he revealed in 2019.

His death came just 17 days after he performed at Black Sabbath's final concert in their hometown of Birmingham. The "Back to the Beginning” concert featured performances from a long list of heavy metal royalty, including Metallica, Anthrax, Tool, Slayer and Pantera. A Billboard obituary reported that "the show netted $190 million, making it the highest grossing charity concert of all time."
