BLACKPINK Kicks Off European Tour with Spectacular Shows in Paris

BLACKPINK has once again painted France's largest concert venue pink, marking the start of their European tour.

On the 2nd and 3rd of this month, BLACKPINK held their 'DEADLINE IN PARIS' world tour concerts at the Stade de France in Paris. The group attracted an impressive 110,000 attendees, doubling the audience size from their previous 'BORN PINK' concert in Paris, which had 55,000 attendees, showcasing their growing global influence.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of local fans, BLACKPINK took the stage with powerful charisma, performing hits like 'Kill This Love' and 'Pink Venom,' instantly elevating the energy of the venue. Their unique live performances of hit songs provided thrilling moments throughout the concert.

The concert also featured a diverse array of solo stages, adding a special touch to the event. The members showcased their individual styles through a range of genres, from lyrical pop ballads to energetic hip-hop, captivating the audience without a moment's pause.

The high-quality YG-style production enhanced the immersive experience. The spectacular special effects filling the large stadium, the dynamic graphics changing with the beat, and the vibrant dancer jams and live band sounds brought BLACKPINK's musical world to life, keeping the audience engaged at every moment.

Reuniting with local fans for the first time in about two years since 2023, the excitement in the venue was palpable. The members freely roamed the stage, deeply connecting with the audience, who responded with explosive cheers and a sea of pink light sticks.

Following their successful performances in Paris, the starting point of their 4-city, 6-show European tour, and Milan, BLACKPINK will head to Barcelona on the 9th. On the 15th and 16th, they are set to make history as the first K-pop female artists to perform at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London, leaving another significant mark in their career.
