K-pop superstars Blackpink set for Singapore return in November
The quartet will play two shows at Singapore’s National Stadium on November 29 and 30 as part of their Deadline world tour
Blackpink, the popular South Korean girl group, will perform two shows in Singapore later this year as part of their Deadline world tour, concert organiser Live Nation announced on Tuesday.
The quartet will take to the stage at Singapore’s National Stadium on November 29 and 30.
Pre-sale registration for Weverse subscribers opens at noon on Tuesday, with the presale itself scheduled for June 10. Additional presales will follow: Visa cardholders can access tickets on June 11, while Changi Rewards members will have their chance on June 12. General ticket sales open on June 13.
Blackpink last performed in Singapore to a sold-out crowd in 2023, having also played at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2019.
Also on Tuesday, the group announced other regional stops on their Deadline tour from October to January next year.
Among the scheduled dates are performances in Bangkok, Jakarta and Bulacan in the Philippines. The group will also play Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium on January 24 and 25, stretching the tour beyond its previously reported finale of three nights in Tokyo from January 16-18.
The Deadline world tour will kick off at Goyang Stadium in South Korea on July 5 and 6, before heading to the United States and Europe.
Blackpink – often touted as the biggest girl group in the world – has not released a new album together since 2022’s Born Pink. But reports suggest that Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, who have some 57.5 million Instagram followers between them, have been working on new music.
Singapore has become a regional concert hub in recent years, playing host to world-class artists including Taylor Swift, Coldplay and most recently, Lady Gaga, who performed in the city state last week.
But it has faced criticism from neighbouring countries for reportedly paying high sums to secure major artists. Local media previously revealed that the government spent between US$2 million and US$3 million to bring Swift for six exclusive shows last March.
