South Korean pop band Blackpink re-established its position as the world’s largest girl group, with a two-and-a-half-hour show at the Wambley Stadium.
Following the footsteps of Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, BTS and Oasis, members of the Quartet-Jisoo, Jennie, ROSé and Lisa were included, which became the first K-Pop girl band.
He rewarded fans with a high-voltage set, which was filled with delicate hooks and crisp choreography, highlighting his sister’s bond.
“What is a full honor to perform here at the Wambali Stadium,” Lisa said, dedicated a concert to the 70,000-fierce audience. “We are absolutely in awe of all of you guys [for] Rock and make it possible. ,
“This is an epic dream,” said her bandmate Jenny. “And it still looks a bit untrue.”
“The last time we were here [in London] Was crazy, but it was just another level, “Roja concluded.
“We are really grateful that you guys got stuck all around and supported us.”
The show was the first of two nights at the Vambali Stadium, wrapping the European leg of the band’s deadline tour, which would see them playing on 31 dates in 16 cities worldwide.
Trek started in Seoul last month, clever A new single, with jump – Which sets a new milestone on YouTube for the most viewed video in a single day with 26 million views.
By the end of the run, the band is expected to break her record for the highest -grossing tour by a female group. He first snatched the title from The Spice Girls during the Pink World Tour in 2022-2023.
They are only the second ke-pap band to headline the vambali. boy band BTS first played the stadium in 2019.
Killer choreography
Blackpink’s London show was opened in an explosion of laser lights and pyrotechnics, with three muscle-flexing pop anthems in a line: kill this love, how do you like that and pink poison.
Stadium Woke up immediately with pinkAs the audience flew and waving on their feet, lightstics that became fast on time.
On stage, dance moves were complex and accurate. Blackpink rolled into the formation, peeling as each member and took a vocal line before combining 16-lymph pop colossus.
While playing with the fire, the wall of the large video behind the stage was divided into four, allowed close-up to all members, after each of their own cameras, because they first danced around the circular catwalk.
This completely closed (complete with a sample of Paganini’s second violin concert, la Campanella), the killer choreography defeated by hundreds of hardcore fans.
Deadline is billed as a reunion tour, even though it is only two years when Blackpink last played in London.
In the interim, the band is Talking on a new contract with South Korean agency YG Entertainment (Allegedly the most attractive record deal of 2023), Honorary MBE received from King CharlesAnd spent a year in chasing single attempts.
Rosa, along with Bruno Mars for Global Smash Apt, starred in White Lotus, Jenny went viral for her self-referennial club hit such as Jenny and Jizu played the lead roles on the K-Drama Snowdrop.
As a result, alternatively between the Tour Group and the Solo section – the British pop star FKA is making a brief cameo with Tigs, eating a scon during a backstage pre -fasting set for some reason.
But if fans feared that the band would be weakened in addition to that time, the tour is proving them wrong.
If anything, the personality of the singers now comes strongly that they have the opportunity to spread their wings.
Lisa is Rabbal-Russing Rock Star, which is responsible for the Blackpink’s signature attitude, which she undertakes with some time-off Wink for the camera.
New Zealand-born Rosa cheerleaders, who handle most on-stage chats, while harassing the secret ambitions to Swift, she leaves during her single set, seeing the semi-righteous Gathagit.
Jenny can be your cool elder sister, all dark sunglasses and leather jackets, as she removes her choreography like a pace house fly.
Meanwhile, Jisoo is the most reserved member, which is saying some words, but taking part of the lion of high notes and difficult outspoons.
Like all the best girl groups, every fan can choose a favorite – or prejudice in the pop parlance – which align with his own personality.
So when each solo set has a stand-out moment (such as Jenny is so dynamic that it can give strength to a small town; and the fast app is designed for a stadium-shaped singleong), this is when they come together as “One True 4” that Blackpinks actually shine.
,All gas, no break“As he has put it in his return.
Early hits such as whistle and DDU-DU-DU-DU are treated with the same energy and recently focused as a favorite such as a favorite such as lovesic girls.
Preity Savez has some best staging of the night, in which four singers float in and out in the picture frame, before finishing the song in a golden ballet barre; While an attractive young man feels like a hymn for his friendship forever.
The chemistry of the band is particularly clear what to do, as, Lisa and Rosa deliberately hit each other on the catwalk and a decline in a fit of gigls.
When the song is finished, the band spends the crowd in the crowd for several minutes because Rose has struggled to tie a wrong short.
Then, during a recurrence of jumping (of course a contenders for summer song?) The band dug up his prescribed dance moves and paves his head forward as if they are in the world parody of a van.
And when Rose asked Jiju for his decision at night, Blackpink’s most frugal member simply holds his thumb.
,Two thumbs up? This is very big! “Her bandmates laugh – then squeeze together for a throat, all their eight thumbs move towards the sky.
At that moment, the Blackpink Promise This is more than just a return. This is the beginning of a new chapter.
