If you’re a BLACKPINK fan, the 2025 tour is the biggest thing on your calendar. The group announced a massive world leg that covers North America, Europe, Asia and even a few surprise stops in South America. Below we break down the dates, ticket options, what the show might look like and how to make the most of the experience.
The schedule kicks off in March with shows in Seoul’s Jamsil Sports Complex, then moves to Tokyo’s Ariake Arena in early April. After Asia, BLACKPINK heads to Europe – London’s O2 Arena on May 12, Paris’ AccorArena on May 15, and Berlin’s Mercedes-Benz Arena on May 18.
North America follows in June: Los Angeles (Staples Center) on June 3, Chicago (United Center) on June 6, New York (Madison Square Garden) on June 10 and Toronto (Scotiabank Arena) on June 13. The tour wraps up with a special finale in Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on July 2.
The ticketing platform offers three main categories: General Admission, Reserved Seating and VIP Packages. General Admission is the cheapest option but sells out fast – expect price spikes once a few weeks pass after release. Reserved Seating lets you pick specific rows; mid‑range seats near the stage are usually $150‑$250.
VIP Packages include early entry, exclusive merch, and a meet‑and‑greet (or a virtual backstage experience if you’re far away). Those cost anywhere from $400 to $800 depending on city. Keep an eye on official fan clubs; they sometimes release pre‑sale codes that give you a better chance at good seats.
All tickets go through the official ticketing partner listed on blackpinkofficial.com. Avoid third‑party sites that promise “guaranteed” tickets – they’re often scams and can get your account banned.
BLACKPINK’s concerts are known for high energy, slick choreography and massive production value. Rumors suggest a new setlist featuring songs from their upcoming 2025 album, plus classic hits like “Kill This Love” and “How You Like That.” Fans have spotted rehearsals of a surprise solo stage for Rosé that could feature an unreleased ballad.
The lighting design will likely incorporate interactive LED walls that change with each song. Expect plenty of pyrotechnics – the group has used fireworks in past shows, and the 2025 tour promises even bigger effects.
For first‑tim concertgoers, arriving at least an hour before doors open helps you avoid the rush and gives time to grab merch. Most venues have designated “fan zones” with photo booths and themed decorations – a fun spot for selfies.
If you’re traveling across countries, book flights early and look for bundles that include hotel stays near the arena. Public transport is usually the cheapest way to get to big venues; many cities offer discounted concert‑day tickets for trains or buses.
Bring a portable charger – phones run out fast when you’re recording videos. Also, check local COVID guidelines; some venues still require proof of vaccination or a negative test.
Finally, respect the local culture and other fans. BLACKPINK’s community is diverse, and a friendly attitude makes the whole experience better for everyone.
Whether you’re saving up months for VIP tickets or just hoping to catch a few songs from the front row, the 2025 tour is set to be one of the biggest K‑pop events this year. Keep an eye on official announcements, act fast when sales open, and get ready to sing along with Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa live on stage.
