BLACKPINK is far from slowing down. While the group officially launched their world tour in 2025, the final leg stretched into early 2026, closing out one of their most ambitious global runs to date.
With a brand-new mini album confirmed for February 2026, BLINKs have a lot to look forward to as the era comes to a close.
The DEADLINE World Tour will officially ended on January 26, 2026, following a seven-month journey across multiple continents. The Hong Kong shows wrapped up an era that focused heavily on reconnecting with fans worldwide.
BLACKPINK Confirms New Mini Album “DEADLINE”
In January 2026, BLACKPINK officially announced their third mini album, titled DEADLINE, set for release on February 27, 2026, at 12 AM EST (1 PM KST). The announcement arrived after months of speculation and marks the group’s first new project release since Born Pink in 2022.
A fast and short teaser clip shared across the group’s social platforms revealed the album title and release date, immediately sparking excitement among fans. The album shares its name with the ongoing world tour, tying it directly into this next musical chapter.
DEADLINE will be BLACKPINK’s first mini album in over three years. While some fans expressed disappointment that the release is not a full-length studio album, YG Entertainment has not ruled out additional projects later in 2026 as the group approaches a major anniversary milestone.
How the DEADLINE Tour Has Been Received
The tour has been met with strong critical response across major publications. Reviewers consistently praised the scale of the production, the pacing of the setlist, and the group’s chemistry on stage.
Critics highlighted the show as a high-energy spectacle that seamlessly blends group performances with individual solo stages. Several reviews pointed out that each member’s growth during their solo activities since the Born Pink era has strengthened their presence as a group, resulting in tighter performances and a more dynamic live experience.
The inclusion of solo stages has been widely viewed as a strength rather than a detour, reinforcing the idea that BLACKPINK’s individual success has only enhanced their collective performance.
What Comes Next for BLACKPINK
As the DEADLINE World Tour wraps up in late January 2026, the release of the DEADLINE mini album follows just weeks later. Together, the tour finale and album release close out a chapter that blends live performance, global fan connection, and new music.
While the group’s future plans beyond early 2026 haven’t been fully revealed, the timing suggests this era may not be the last release fans see this year.
