Before starting the night, a note from BLACKPINK was shown on the main screen: “BLINKs, thank you for being with us tonight. It’s a privilege to be performing here in Manchester, especially at this time. We send our love and prayers to the friends and families who fought through the hard times. We are here for you. #OneLoveManchester.”

Also, the megahit “DDU-DU DDU-DU” was also removed from the show because the lyrics and choreography symbolize gunshots. The bright and youthful “Forever Young” with a positive message was chosen to be the opening song instead. Also, some lyrics and choreographies of many tracks during the concert was changed to avoid bringing up the tragedy: “blow up” in “Whistle” was changed to “glow up”, the gun shooting part in “Kill This Love” was removed,…During the encore, BLACKPINK sent their prayers to BLINKs in Manchester and dedicated the song “Stay” to the 22 victims of the bombing.
