Overview

  • Each member delivered distinct solo sets, with Jisoo combining “Earthquake” and “Your Love,” Lisa performing “Thunder” and “Fxck Up the World,” Jennie offering a medley of “Mantra” and “With the IE (way up),” and Rosé slowing the pace with “3am” before closing her section with “APT.” and inviting a fan onstage.
  • The 70,000-seat SoFi Stadium sold out on both July 12 and 13 as fans waved official light sticks and joined a mid-show dance challenge.
  • “Jump” marked Blackpink’s first group single in nearly three years and was performed twice—debuting in Act 5 and returning in the encore—to electrified crowds.
  • Elaborate visuals projected a road-trip motif across split-pane jumbotrons while interludes wove classic hits like “Kill This Love” and “Pink Venom” into the tour’s narrative.
  • The North American run moves on to Chicago next, followed by dates in Toronto, New York and European and Asian stops stretching into early 2026.
