Sending fans all around the globe into a frenzy, K-pop supergroup BLACKPINK announced the dates of its BORN PINK world tour on Monday (Aug 8).
It includes a stop in Singapore on May 13, 2023.
The official announcement says the tour kicks off on Oct 15 and 16 in Seoul, and nine days later, the most popular girl group on the planet will be performing in seven cities in the United States: including Dallas (Oct 25), Atlanta (Nov 2), Chicago (Nov 10 and 11) and Los Angeles (Nov 19).
BLACKPINK will then head for the Europe leg of the tour, with concerts scheduled for London (Nov 30 and Dec 1), Paris (Dec 11 and 12), and Berlin (Dec 18).
As 2023 rolls around, Lisa, Jisoo, Rose, and Jennie bring the tour to several parts of Asia, beginning with two nights in Bangkok (Jan 7 and 8).
Group member Lisa, born Pranpriya Manobal, is Thai.
After performing in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi on Jan 20 and 28, respectively, the Asian leg of BORN PINK continues in Kuala Lumpur (Mar 4), Jakarta (Mar 11), Kaohsiung (Mar 18) and Manila (Mar 25).
The next stop after this is Singapore.
The tour ends in June in Australia and New Zealand, although Black Pink has the option of adding more dates to BORN PINK, given the clamour online for the group to visit India and South America.
BLACKPINK’s BORN PINK has been described as the “largest world tour in the history of a K-pop girl group” by YG Entertainment, the group’s label.
The venues for the group’s performances, including the Singapore concert, have yet to be announced, and other pertinent details, including when and where tickets will be sold, to be announced later.
In the meantime, fans can watch out for BLACKPINK’s newest single, Pink Venom, which will be out on Aug 19, while BORN PINK, which is also the title of their latest album, drips in September. /TISG
