Blackpink world tour 2019: K-Pop sensations to visit Europe, North America and Australia

Blackpink have revealed plans to embark on a world tour this year.

The rising stars of the K-Pop world will visit North America, Europe and Australia, management company YG Family confirmed.

No concrete dates have been announced so far, but we will be keeping an eye out for any announcements and updating this page with all the details.

The four-piece group are on course for a huge year, following on from the trailblazing success of fellow K-Pop outfit BTS, who sold out the O2 in London back in October.

Blackpink’s hit single DDU-DU DDU-DU, has racked up almost 600 million views on YouTube since it dropped last June, with the group also confirmed as part of the line-up for the 2019 edition of Coachella — making them the first ever female K-Pop band to perform at the Californian festival.

They are about to embark on an Asian tour, kicking off on January 11 in Bangkok and culminating just under two months later in Taipei.
