Held on July 12 ~ 13 (local time) at the massive Sofi stadium, the concert marked the first stage of the North American tour of Blackpink. The two -day event attracted about 100,000 participants, making Blackpink the first group of girls in the world to draw such a crowd in the iconic headquarters. A representative said: “It was their first face to face in 2 years and 8 months, and made history”.
The surprise highlight: Rosé × Bruno Mars
The biggest surprise of the night came during the Rosé solo stage for her successful song “APT”. At a stunning moment, Bruno Mars appeared live on stage to join her for a special duet performance. The crowd broke out in applause while climbing on stage and performed its live part, transforming an already emotional performance into an unforgettable.
Both artists wore clothes with combined yellow accents colors, adding a touch to their coordinated presence. Keeping portable microphones, Rosé and Bruno delivered impeccable live voices during the command on stage. Rosé hired the crowd with a playful “of what?”, EXEULLUNING ENERGY MORE MORE.
Impeccable harmony and frenzy of the crowd
The chemistry between the two artists was palpable. They exchanged verses, sang in harmony with their drapery arms around behind and maintained the high energy for everything. Their stable live voice and synchronization have left the public in awe.
A rich and dynamic live band accompanied their performance, raising the atmosphere with a lush instrumentation. From the beginning to the end, the fans sang at full volume, transforming the place into a huge celebration of singalong.

After Los Angeles, Blackpink will continue the “Deadline” tour in the main cities including Chicago, Toronto, New York, Milan, Barcelona, London, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Jakarta, Bulacan, Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
