Next weekend, one of the biggest names in global pop returns to Chicago in a major way. BLACKPINK, the record-shattering K-pop phenomenon, will headline Soldier Field on July 18, 2025, as part of their monumental 2025 World Tour, marking the group’s first tour since 2023 and their most ambitious live production yet.

The show follows the tour’s explosive kickoff in Goyang, South Korea earlier this month, where the group debuted their new single, “Jump”, to rave reviews and fan-frenzy. If that launch was any indication, Chicago fans are in for a high-energy, hit-packed spectacle with stadium-sized visuals and a show-stopping setlist. Soldier Field, already no stranger to blockbuster tours, will transform into a haven for BLINKs, as Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa bring their signature blend of powerful choreography, solo moments, and undeniable pop charisma to the Windy City.

Fans can expect a setlist that spans BLACKPINK’s career—from early anthems like “Boombayah” and “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du”, to recent hits like “Pink Venom” and “Shut Down”, with room for surprises and dazzling solo performances. During the Goyang show, each member took the spotlight with their own performance, a tradition that’s likely to continue in Chicago. The concert will also mark one of the first North American stadium performance of “Jump,” the group’s brand new comeback track that’s already climbing charts across the globe.

Doors open at 6:00 PM, with the show set to begin at 8:00 PM. As always with major stadium shows, fans are encouraged to arrive early to navigate parking, merch lines, and the electric pre-show atmosphere. Parking lots open at 4:00 PM, and public transit is recommended for a smoother arrival experience.

For Chicago’s music scene, and for K-pop in general, this is more than just a concert. It’s a cultural moment. BLACKPINK’s DEADLINE tour is already making history as their first all-stadium tour, and Soldier Field marks the group’s return to the city after previously playing the United Center. With tens of thousands expected in attendance, July 18 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated shows of the year.

Limited tickets are still available, but they’re moving fast. If you’ve never seen BLACKPINK live before, now’s your chance. If you’ve seen them already, you know you won’t want to miss this.
