BLACKPINK Announces ‘Deadline’ Tour Reunion and Teases Upcoming Song in Latest Group Update

BLACKPINK, the internationally acclaimed K-Pop group, is back together and poised to take the stage once more. After a period dedicated to solo projects, members Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa delighted fans with a group photo shared on their Instagram accounts on June 24, marking a significant moment for their dedicated following.

The image captures the members forming a four-leaf clover with their hands, symbolizing not only unity but potentially good fortune as they prepare for their eagerly awaited “Deadline”world tour.

This photo marks the first collective update from the group in almost a year, amplifying the excitement among their devoted fan base, known as Blinks, who have been anticipating news about group rehearsals leading up to the tour.

The “Deadline”tour is scheduled to kick off on July 5 at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea. YG Entertainment, the group’s record label, announced that a brand new song will be premiered during the concert, an eagerly awaited highlight for fans.

There are hopes from the fandom that this new track will be released digitally a day prior, on July 4, adding to the anticipation surrounding the event.

While several details remain under wraps, such as promotional materials or merchandise specifics, fans remain optimistic for more exciting announcements.

BLACKPINK Prepares for a Major Comeback Amid YG Scrutiny

Amidst the quiet build-up to the tour, anticipation continues to rise. Lisa has recently provided updates to fans via the fan app Bubble, sharing insights on their rigorous rehearsal schedule and expressing her eagerness to reunite with fans.

However, not all sentiments are positive; some fans have voiced their dissatisfaction with YG Entertainment, criticizing what they perceive as poor planning and inadequate promotional efforts for the tour.

Despite this backlash, the tour is proceeding as planned. As reported by PinkVilla, BLACKPINK has lined up 31 performances across North America, Europe, and Asia, culminating in a grand finale in Hong Kong on January 25, 2026.

Key U. S.cities scheduled to host the tour include Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, guaranteeing a broad reach and diverse audience engagement.

Last year, all members extended their contracts with YG Entertainment but opted for independent management of their solo careers. Each member has since released individual music and contributed to various projects, enhancing their personal artistry.

Now, with BLACKPINK’s long-awaited return to the stage merely days away, the excitement from fans is palpable. As one ardent follower expressed online, “We waited, and they’re finally here.”
