This tour reaffirmed why BLACKPINK is widely regarded as K-pop legends. Kicking off with 'Kill This Love,' the concert was filled with explosive energy from start to finish.
The highlight of the night was the live premiere of their brand-new track 'Jump,' which sent tens of thousands of fans into a frenzy. The powerful sound and choreography underscored how BLACKPINK's musical world continues to evolve.
Each of the four members has spent the past years honing their skills through solo activities in the global market, and they brought that growth to the stage with individual performances that showcased their unique styles and artistry.
What made this concert even more meaningful was the members' direct involvement in every aspect of production—from stage design to choreography, sets, and props—creating an experience that felt deeply personal and authentic to fans. The show encapsulated BLACKPINK's musical journey so far, while also hinting at the exciting future ahead.
Joining the group on stage were world-class band sessions and dancers who have worked with global pop icons like Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, enhancing the performance with dynamic and fresh energy.
Supported by a top-tier creative team from Korea and beyond, the show struck a perfect balance between cutting-edge production and emotional resonance, transforming it from a concert into a true cultural experience.
And this is only the beginning. With 31 shows planned across 16 cities around the world, the DEADLINE tour marks the start of BLACKPINK's next era. Expectations are already sky-high—and once again, BLACKPINK is poised to raise the bar for what K-pop can be on the global stage.

Iconic ‘90s Band Reveals Why They Missed Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's Final Concert
Iconic '90s Band Reveals Why They Missed Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's Final Concert originally appeared on Parade. Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's final concert was filled with some of the biggest names in rock, but iconic '90s band Soundgarden was surprisingly missing from the lineup, especially after Osbourne's wife, Sharon Osbourne, hinted that the 'Black Hole Sun' group would be there. However, the group has now addressed their absence and it all came down to scheduling. 'Congratulations to Black Sabbath on the grand and final pealing of their vesper bells!' Soundgarden's official Instagram profile captioned a picture of the group posing with Osbourne. 'Thank you for an astounding career that provided us and your legion of fans with a lifetime of beauty, horror, love, power, happiness, melancholy and a profoundly sublime, yet viscerally rocking transcendence informed by both doom and hope. Your majestic brilliance has inspired greatness in scores of other bands, musicians and songwriters. However, the crown will forever remain yours!' The group added that they were 'very grateful to Tony [Iommi], Ozzy, Geezer [Butler] and Bill [Ward], as well as Sharon Osbourne and music director, Tom Morello for the honor and invitation to Soundgarden to perform at the Back to the Beginning festival,' and said that they were 'super bummed' about not being able to perform at the concert, which took place on July 5 in Birmingham, England. They concluded, '[We] regret that we were unable to coordinate the schedules of our individual and collective projects to attend and contribute to the festival. The warmth, love and support from the Black Sabbath team has been a continuing source of encouragement and strength throughout our career.' Soundgarden, along with most of the rock world, has been longtime fans of Osbourne and Black Sabbath. In 1992, the group sang a live version of Black Sabbath's 'Into the Void' during one of their performances in San Diego. Their studio version of the tune 'Into the Void (Sealth)' even went on to earn them a Grammy nomination when they included it on their 1992 Louder Than Love tour companion CD Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Iconic '90s Band Reveals Why They Missed Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's Final Concert first appeared on Parade on Jul 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Neil Diamond Gives Surprise Performance of 'Sweet Caroline' for 'A Beautiful Noise 'Audience
Neil Diamond surprised the audience of the July 12 matinee performance of A Beautiful Noise by singing "Sweet Caroline" in Los Angeles The musician retired from concert touring in 2018 after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease His impromptu appearances to belt out the 1969 hit through the years has brought fans joyIt's impossible not to sing along to "Sweet Caroline" — especially when Neil Diamond has the mic. During the curtain call of the Saturday, July 12 matinee performance of A Beautiful Noise at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, the 84-year-old singer surprised audiences with an impromptu performance of "Sweet Caroline." Nick Fradiani, who portrays Neil in the musical based on his life, introduced the legendary musician, who was seated in the orchestra section with a microphone in hand, ready to sing the 1969 song. After his performance, Neil greeted the cast and company of A Beautiful Noise backstage and spent time with them. The musical's Instagram account called Neil's appearance, "a moment we'll never forget." Days before, during the curtain call of the Los Angeles opening night of A Beautiful Noise on Wednesday, July 9, actor Fradiani, 39, paused the standing ovation to surprise the audience. "I've been doing this show for a long time now, and it's still an amazing feeling to perform Neil's songs for everybody. And we have a special guest here, a good friend of the show: Katie Diamond," he said, introducing Neil's wife.

'This is really a special day for me, because as I'm sure many of you know, if you're a fan of Neil, that 'The Jazz Singer' was shot in this very venue for the live scenes. So it's really special, actually, for me to stand here on this stage." "It's very exciting. Also, I do have Neil on FaceTime, so please welcome on stage Neil Diamond," Katie, 53, added, showing off her phone screen, which featured Neil. She held her microphone to the phone speaker for him to sing the 1969 hit. Diamond has surprised fans with performances of "Sweet Caroline" through the years, including a massive sing-along in Times Square for New Year's Eve in December 2017. He made an appearance at Fenway Park in June 2022, where the song is played during the middle of the eighth inning at Boston Red Sox Games, and at the Broadway show's opening night in December later that year. The December 2022 performance marked the first time he had performed in his hometown since 2017. In January 2018, Neil announced that he was retiring from touring after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. "It is with great reluctance and disappointment that I announce my retirement from concert touring. I have been so honored to bring my shows to the public for the past 50 years," he said in a statement at the time. "My sincerest apologies to everyone who purchased tickets and were planning to come to the upcoming shows. I plan to remain active in writing, recording and other projects for a long time to come." "My thanks goes out to my loyal and devoted audiences around the world. You will always have my appreciation for your support and encouragement. This ride has been 'so good, so good, so good' thanks to you." In March 2023, Neil opened up about his Parkinson's disease diagnosis, saying that he had accepted it several years later. "Somehow, a calm has moved in, and the hurricane of my life, and things have gotten very quiet, as quiet as this recording studio," he said during an appearance on CBS Sunday Mornings. "And, I like it. I find that I like myself better. I'm easier on people. I'm easier on myself. And the beat goes on, and it will go on long after I'm gone." Read the original article on People
