Overview

  • The two back-to-back Wembley performances closed the European leg of the Deadline world tour, which spans 31 concerts across 16 cities.
  • Critics praised the concerts for blending high-energy production with playful solo segments that showcased Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa individually.
  • The live debut of new single “Jump” set a YouTube one-day view record by racking up 26 million views shortly after the performance.
  • A surprise encore cover of the Spice Girls’ “Wannabe” added a nostalgic highlight to the closing night at Wembley.
  • Discrepancies between a BBC estimate of roughly 70,000 attendees and promoter claims of nearly 78,000 per night have raised questions over whether both shows sold out fully.
