Overview

  • BLACKPINK became the first K-pop girl group to headline two consecutive nights at London’s Wembley Stadium
  • Each concert ran roughly two-and-a-half hours featuring pyros, lasers, giant video walls, solo showcases and a curved runway
  • Attendance estimates of 70,000–78,000 per night and viral footage of covered seats prompted debate over a full 90,000-capacity sellout
  • They debuted their new single 'Jump' live—later breaking YouTube records with 26 million views in 24 hours—and closed their second show with a surprise cover of the Spice Girls’ 'Wannabe'
  • The Deadline World Tour now shifts to Asia in October with dates across Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong
