BLACKPINK — DEADLINE (Album and World Tour)
BLACKPINK released their third mini album 'DEADLINE' on 27 February 2026, their first album-level activity as a full group in about three years and five months since 'BORN PINK' (September 2022). The album shares its name with the DEADLINE World Tour, which ran from Goyang, South Korea on 5 July 2025 to Hong Kong on 26 January 2026.
Two different things share the name DEADLINE
The usual order is reversed here, and that is what makes the name confusing. The world tour DEADLINE ran first — from 5 July 2025 at Goyang Stadium to 26 January 2026 at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong, about seven months. The third mini-album DEADLINE came out after the tour ended, on 27 February 2026.
So when a source says 'DEADLINE', it may mean either. This page keeps them apart as world tour DEADLINE and third mini-album DEADLINE.
The album, and the three-and-a-half-year gap
YG Entertainment announced on 15 January 2026 that the mini-album would be released on 27 February — the group's first album-level activity since 'BORN PINK' in September 2022, a gap of about three years and five months.
A long album gap is easy to read as inactivity, but that is not what happened. The tour started in July 2025, ahead of the album, and the single 'JUMP' was released on 11 July 2025. Only the album was late; group activity had resumed from mid-2025.
Tour scale
The tour covered 14 countries and 33 shows, with stadium dates including Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Paris, Barcelona and London. Dates were added while the tour was under way, which the agency attributed to demand.
