South Korean pop band Blackpink reasserted their position as the world’s biggest girl group, with a riotous two-and-a-half hour show at Wembley Stadium.

The quartet – comprised of members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa – became the first K-pop girl band to headline the venue, following in the footsteps of Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, BTS and Oasis.

They rewarded fans with a high-voltage set, full of delirious hooks and crisp choreography, while highlighting their sisterly bond.

“What an absolute honour to be performing here at Wembley Stadium,” said Lisa, dedicating the concert to the 70,000-strong audience. “We’re absolutely in awe at all of you guys [for] rocking up and making this possible.”

“It’s an epic dream,” added her bandmate Jennie. “And it still feels a little unreal.”

“The last time we were here [in London] was insane but this was just a whole other level,” concluded Rosé.

“We’re really grateful that you guys stuck around and supported us.”

The show was the first of two nights at Wembley Stadium, wrapping up the European leg of the band’s Deadline tour, which will see them play 31 dates in 16 cities worldwide.

The trek began in Seoul last month, shrewdly accompanied by a new single, Jump – which set a new milestone on YouTube for the most-watched video in a single day, with 26 million views.

By the end of the run, the band are expected to break their own record for the highest-grossing tour by a female group. They previously snatched that title from the Spice Girls, during their 2022-2023 Born Pink world tour.
