Background

Blackpink 2018 Tour [In Your Area] Seoul x BC Card

On September 12, it was announced that the group would hold their first concert in Seoul titled "Blackpink 2018 Tour [In Your Area] Seoul x BC Card" on November 11 and November 12 at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena. It was revealed that the title of the tour 'In Your Area' was chosen by the members themselves.[2] Pre-order tickets became available to the group's fan club members on September 14 via Auction Ticket, while tickets were made available to the general public on September 18. Each member of the group played an active role in pitching ideas for the concert.[3] All 20,000 tickets for the two concerts were quickly sold out.[4]

During the two-day concerts at Seoul, member Jennie performed her debut solo song "Solo", which was released later on November 12, 2018, for the first time ever.[5] Blackpink released a 14-track live album that was recorded during the Seoul concerts, Blackpink 2018 Tour In Your Area Seoul, on August 30, 2019.[6]

On October 31, 2018, Blackpink announced their first tour dates for the Asia leg, with dates in Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur commencing in mid-January 2019.[7] On January 28, 2019, Blackpink officially announced the concert dates and venues for the European leg. The tour kicked off in Amsterdam on May 18, 2019.[8] The group later shared the tour's North America stops, on February 11, 2019 via social media. The North America leg kicked off in Los Angeles on April 17, in between the two weekends of Coachella where the group performed.[9] On February 22, 2019, it was reported that all 60,000 tickets for the group's first North America tour were sold out.[10] Blackpink announced tour dates for Australia on February 25.[11] Kia Motors served as the tour's official sponsor.[12]

On April 15, the group announced they would hold a total of four dome concerts in three cities in Japan, starting with Tokyo on December 4, 2019.[13] On 22 January 2020, it was announced that the tour's last concert at Fukuoka Dome will be broadcast live in 96 movie theaters in Japan to repay the enthusiastic support from fans.[14] A live album, DVD and Blu-ray of the Tokyo Dome concert, Blackpink 2019–2020 World Tour In Your Area – Tokyo Dome –, was released on May 6, 2020. The DVD ranked first on Oricon DVD Weekly Chart (May 4–10).[15]

  • During the show in Manchester, Blackpink modified elements of their performances with due respect to the approaching 2nd anniversary of the Manchester Arena bombing incident.

During the encore stage, Blackpink dedicated "Stay" to the victims and those affected by the attack; another performance of "Don't Know What To Do" was added along with the original setlist.[23]
  • During the show in Melbourne and Sydney, Rosé added "Coming Home" to her solo medley performance.
