BLACKPINK encore rumor
- Social chatter says BLACKPINK may do a 10th‑anniversary encore concert this summer. (x.com) - The rumor thread gathered thousands of likes and amplified speculation across fan communities. (x.com) - No promoter or label confirmation appeared in the coverage, so it remains speculative for now. (x.com)
A rumor about a BLACKPINK encore concert for the group’s 10th anniversary is spreading online, but no official organizer or label announcement has surfaced. (x.com) The speculation centers on summer 2026, when BLACKPINK’s 10th anniversary arrives after the group’s August 8, 2016 debut with *Square One* under YG Entertainment. (ygfamily.com) BLACKPINK already completed a large official run before the rumor took off: YG’s concert page lists the “DEADLINE” world tour from Goyang on July 5-6, 2025 through Hong Kong on January 24-26, 2026. (ygfamily.com) That timeline gives fans a concrete reason to watch for an extra date, because the advertised tour schedule now ends more than six months before the group’s August 2026 anniversary. (ygfamily.com) BLACKPINK also has an official 2026 release on the calendar: *DEADLINE*, the group’s third mini album, was announced for February 27, 2026 on the group’s channels and reported by *Forbes* on January 14-15. (forbes.com) YG Entertainment’s own March 4, 2026 company update highlighted BIGBANG, TREASURE, BABYMONSTER and a new boy group, but the posted report did not announce any BLACKPINK 10th-anniversary concert. (ygfamily.com) That omission has become part of the fan debate, because YG has used official pages to post BLACKPINK tour dates and ticket notices in the past, including the Hong Kong shows that closed the “DEADLINE” run in January. (ygfamily.com) For now, the public record shows an anniversary year, a finished stadium tour, and an active rumor cycle — but not a confirmed encore. Until YG, a venue, or a promoter posts dates, the summer concert talk remains unverified. (ygfamily.com)
