BLACKPINK After 2 World Tours: Double the Concert Nights, Attract 2.1 Million Fans, Over $220 Million in Revenue
BLACKPINK has displayed their prominent global status through two world tours
Within the span of 11 months of the Born Pink world tour, BLACKPINK achieved remarkable milestones, conducting the largest tour in the history of a girl group.
Over 66 nights on four continents, BLACKPINK successfully became the first girl group to hold concerts in the biggest concert venues. From their first tour, “In Your Area,” to “Born Pink” over four years, BLINKs applaud and take pride in the remarkable growth of BLACKPINK.
BLACKPINK’s First World Tour – IN YOUR AREA
On November 10, 2018, BLACKPINK kicked off their first career world tour, “In Your Area,” after creating a sensation with the mega hit “DDU-DU DDU-DU” and the mini album Square Up. At that time, BLACKPINK was a 2-year-old girl group with only a few songs but had already achieved impressive numbers. According to Touring Data, BLACKPINK earned over $55 million in revenue with 472,183 tickets sold across six tour legs.
A total of 36 shows took place, including 21 concerts across Asia, 7 in North America, 6 in Europe, and 2 in Australia. “In Your Area” was from late 2018 to February 2021 – spanning 1 year and 3 months. During this time, BLACKPINK released their first full album, “The Album,” and Rosé and Lisa each went solo.
BLACKPINK’s Remarkable Breakthrough with the Largest Girl Group Tour in History – Born Pink
In October 2022, BLACKPINK kicked off the Born Pink World Tour with their first two shows in Seoul, South Korea, just one month after releasing their second full album of the same name. This album and tour marked the pinnacle of BLACKPINK’s career, with double the number of concert nights compared to “In Your Area” (66 nights). According to the latest report from YG Entertainment, Born Pink attracted 2.11 million fans across 34 cities, with 66 shows held in 31 stadiums worldwide.
Audience numbers at Born Pink tour legs:
- Seoul: 55,000 fans
- North America: 540,000 fans
- Europe: 215,000 fans
- Asia: 900,000 fans
- Oceania: 50,000 fans
- Middle East: 40,000 fans
- Total World Tour: 1.8 million fans. Other notable figures:
- Coachella Music Festival in the USA: 250,000 fans
- BST Hyde Park Music Festival in the UK: 65,000 fans
BLACKPINK was the first girl group that entered multiple major concert venues, such as Met Life (New York), the largest stadium in France, Stade de France, and two final tour nights at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul. BLACKPINK was also the only girl group to sell out and perform in front of over 50,000 people on three continents (North America, Asia, Europe).
During the tour, BLACKPINK made history as the headliner at Coachella 2023 and the BST Hyde Park Music Festival in the UK. With revenue surpassing $220 million, achieved from just the statistics of 36 out of 66 concert nights, Born Pink secured BLACKPINK’s place as a record-breaking and deserving “entertainment icon” of the new generation, according to TIME magazine.
