The world’s biggest girl group is about to land in your area. BLACKPINK are about to make their return to the UK as a complete unit for the first time in a couple of years for their Deadline world tour.
After taking some time to pursue some solo stuff, the SHUT DOWN singers have reunited in order to play their first ever headlining shows at Wembley. Safe to say their break hasn’t slowed them down.
Jennie, Rosé, Jisoo, and Lisa will play two nights at London’s Wembley stadium this weekend. As always, expect brilliant vocal and dance performances, and a proper show from not just the band, but their backup dancers too. Here’s everything you need to know about BLACKPINK’s Wembley gigs this weekend.
When are BLACKPINK playing Wembley Stadium?
The band will take over Wembley for a total of two nights, playing on Friday August 15 and Saturday August 16.
What time do doors open?
The doors for BLACKPINK will open at 5.30pm. There will be no barricade race here though – pretty much everyone has allocated seats so there’s no need to arrive super early to secure a better spot. That is unless you were lucky enough to bag pit tickets.
What time will BLACKPINK come on stage?
The girls will take to the stage at 8.30pm, three hours after doors open. There is a curfew of 10.30pm, so it will wrap up just before then.
What’s the seating plan?
Here’s the seating plan for BLACKPINK’s Wembley dates:
Who’s supporting BLACKPINK at Wembley Stadium?
These ladies need no introduction – there’s no support act for the Deadline world tour.

Can I still get tickets?
Luckily, there are still a few tickets to see the girls on both Friday and Saturday available on Ticketmaster here. They are quite limited though, so you’ll want to grab them now before they’re gone.
Bag policy
Wembley allows everyone to have one small bag each. Any bags you receive whilst buying merch inside of the stadium will also be allowed, but obviously cannot be brought in from the outside. If you buy merch outside of the stadium it will come in a sealed bag – just ensure you don’t break this seal until you’re past security.
Your personal bag will have to be A4 size or smaller, as is standard at stadiums and arenas across the country.
Banned items
In order to keep everyone safe and happy, there’s a fairly extensive list of stuff you’re not allowed to bring to the concert. Some of this is obvious – no blades or explosives please – but some of it might catch you off guard. Here’s a list of prohibited items for the gig:
- Large umbrellas
- Aluminium and glass drink containers, including perfume bottles
- Plastic bottles over 500ml
- Alcohol
- Food and drink
- Pushchairs
- Selfie sticks
- Weapons and tools
- Flares, lasers, smoke devices and cannisters
- Large-bodied cameras and camcorders
- Drones
- Unauthorised musical instruments, vuvuzelas or megaphones
Weather forecast
The weather forecast is looking good. Friday is set to be very warm and sunny, reaching highs of nearly 30C, so if you’re planning to queue or get to the stadium early ensure you’ve got loads of water and suncream to hand.
Saturday will be similarly warm, although peaking at 25C and with more cloud coverage. There is very little chance of rain on either day.
