Known as “the world’s biggest girl group,” K-pop phenoms Blackpink delivered an epic two-night run at London’s legendary Wembley Stadium. The four members, Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa, became the first K-pop girl group ever to headline Wembley, ruling over a sold-out crowd of about 70,000 each night. From the opening anthems to the final encore, Blackpink treated fans to a high-voltage show full of monster hits, soaring vocals, and killer choreography.
The girls opened the show with a burst of fireworks and beats – kicking off with “Kill This Love” and barreling straight into “Pink Venom” and “How You Like That,” complete with pulsing lasers and pyrotechnics lighting up the stadium. The sea of pink lightsticks in the crowd flashed in time with each beat, creating an electric “ocean of pink” vibe under the London sky.
Blackpink on stage at Wembley Stadium, London (August 2025), delivering a riotous two-hour set of hit songs and sharp choreography. The world’s biggest girl group closed their Wembley weekend with huge fan-favorites and anthems.
Hit-Packed Setlist & Show Highlights
The setlist was packed with Blackpink’s biggest hits, sequenced into a full concert experience. Key songs performed included:
- “Kill This Love” / “Pink Venom” / “How You Like That” – explosive opener tracks that ignited the crowd.
- “Playing With Fire” / “Shut Down” – fiery dance jams that showed off the group’s signature attitude and choreography.
- “Pretty Savage” / “Forever Young” / “Boombayah” – back-to-back anthems that had fans jumping and singing along.
- Encore: “Jump (Reprise)” / “Yeah Yeah Yeah” / “Kick It” – a mega encore including their new single “Jump” (which shattered YouTube records with 26 million views in one day) and high-energy throwbacks to close out the night.
Along the way, every Blackpink classic got its moment. The signature beats of “DDU-DU DDU-DU” and the sweet melody of “Lovesick Girls” rang out just as powerfully as newer bangers. Each song came with tight, intricate dance routines – Blackpink lined up in precision formation, splitting and coming together in sync like one giant pop machine. The massive video screens also allowed each member to shine, with split-screen close-ups and a circular catwalk so that every part of the stadium could catch a glimpse of their performance.
Solo Spotlights and Member Moments
A big part of the Wembley show was celebrating each member’s unique style. The Deadline World Tour format gave everyone a chance to step into the spotlight with solo performances. Each member’s on-stage personality came through:
- Lisa – The group’s resident “badass” and rock-star, Lisa tore into her solo set with pure swagger. She delivered her rap-heavy tracks and fierce hooks with “rockstar energy,” commanding the stage in leather and glam. Her loyal fans roared as she belted out every line and hit every eyebrow-raising dance move.
- Rosé – The soulful powerhouse, Rosé serenaded the stadium with stadium-sized ballads and soft-rock vibes. She handled most of the on-stage chatter, charming the audience like a cheerleader with a killer vocal. During her solo segment (featuring songs like “APT.”), she even had a surprise: British singer FKA Twigs made a playful cameo on the big screen, popping in backstage during Rosé’s video interlude. (Apparently Wembley snacks were involved – a very British moment of scone-eating behind the scenes!) Rosé smiled and rolled with it, showing off her sweet side before ramping back up for anthemic belting.
- Jennie – Jennie brought the cool older-sister vibe. Decked out in chic black, she delivered sleek R&B and hip-hop-flavored solos like “like JENNIE” (her self-referential club banger) and “Handlebars.” With a smirk and dark sunglasses, she oozed confidence, casually slaying the complex routines as if swatting away a fly. Every growl and rap lyric hit home, and her section had the crowd chanting along instantly.
- Jisoo – The most soft-spoken of the four, Jisoo captivated through pure voice. Her solo slots featured her powerful vocals on dreamy tracks like “Your Love” and “Earthquake.” Jisoo didn’t say much on mic – she let the voice do the talking. She hit all the soaring high notes and long-held belts with finesse, showing why fans call her the “vocal main.” During the quiet moments of her set, you could feel the entire arena hanging on her every phrase.
By the end of each solo segment, the members reunited for the ultimate group party. In true K-pop fashion, the foursome flung their heads back, tossed their hair, and basked in every minute of performing together. Huge cheers erupted when they returned with career-spanning songs like “Pretty Savage,” “Forever Young” and “Boombayah,” proving why fans nickname them the “One True 4.” The camaraderie on stage was real – at one point Lisa and Rosé even bumped into each other mid-walk on the catwalk and burst into giggles. It was infectious, showing that even in a sold-out stadium, they’re still having as much fun as friends together.
Spectacular Stage Production & Fan Atmosphere
Blackpink’s Wembley shows were not just about the group – it was a full sensory overload for the audience. The stage design was cinematic, with dozens of moving parts: giant digital screens, pyrotechnic bursts, blinding laser lights and smoke bombs during the drop of “Kill This Love.”
Every beat was matched with flashing visuals, turning Wembley into a pink kaleidoscope. The band’s signature K-pop choreography was flawlessly mirrored by thousands of trained fans in the audience, each holding lightsticks that synced to the music. As Lisa shouted, “What an absolute honour to be performing here at Wembley Stadium,” the crowd yelled back in kind (with Lisa later joking how they were “in awe” of all 70,000 of them). By the end of “Kill This Love”’s opening fireworks sequence, the entire stadium was on its feet – a tidal wave of BLINKs chanting and waving their light sticks.
Records, Milestones and Tour Context
This was the final stop of the European leg of their Deadline World Tour, which kicked off in Seoul on July 5 and covers 31 dates across 16 cities worldwide.
By selling out Wembley two nights in a row, Blackpink cemented a new record: they are already the first K-pop girl group to sell over a million albums worldwide, and now the first ever to headline Wembley Stadium. In doing so, they joined an elite list of music icons – following in the footsteps of artists like BTS, Taylor Swift, and Michael Jackson as headliners of this iconic UK venue.
Even offstage, the group’s achievement is huge. Their comeback single “Jump” isn’t just a smash with live crowds – it broke YouTube records, racking up 26 million views in one day when released on tour. And the revenue from this tour is set to smash records, too: by its end Blackpink is on track to break its own Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing concert tour by a female group. (They stole that title from the Spice Girls on their last world tour.)
Altogether, the Wembley shows were not only a high point of the tour but a statement of Blackpink’s global dominance.
What’s Next? A New Blackpink Chapter
With Wembley in the rear-view, what’s next for these K-pop superstars? The Deadline World Tour continues across Asia after London (with the finale slated for Hong Kong next year) – and fans can bet each upcoming show will be just as spectacular.
Blackpink will leave London not just with memories, but with an open invitation: King Charles himself joked he “hopes to see [them] perform live” after presenting them with honorary MBEs last year. For now, the Wembley concerts stand as a historic K-pop moment: 70,000 fans at a UK stadium, roaring as 4 girls from South Korea showed off their chart-topping songs and fierce personalities.
It was a night (actually two nights!) that cemented Blackpink’s status and kicked off what promises to be an even bigger next chapter. As the confetti settled on the last encore, Rosé asked shy Jisoo how she felt – and Jisoo flashed “two thumbs up” at the crowd. In that moment, it was clear: Blackpink’s Wembley dream came true, and the best is yet to come.
