BLACKPINK to make Comeback with World Tour and Perform New Songs on July 5th
BLACKPINK is officially back, and fans all over the world can finally look forward to new music from the group. The global girl group will be making their comeback on July 5, which will kick off their much-anticipated DEADLINE World Tour at Goyang Stadium in South Korea. This will be BLACKPINK’s first group performance in almost three years since their last tour.
Also, the July 5th show will be the first time the group performs their brand-new song, which has been confidential. The group’s label, YG Entertainment, confirmed that the new song is ready and will be revealed live on stage. Fans have been speculating about the track after the group was spotted shooting a music video earlier this month, though the title and details of the release have not yet been made public.
BLACKPINK’s DEADLINE World Tour will take them to 31 major cities, including stops in Asia, Europe, and North America, with the final show set to happen in Hong Kong on January 25, 2026. A few weeks ago, the group shared a teaser for the tour, showing Jennie, Rosé, Jisoo, and Lisa riding through the city in a flashy pink convertible.
Their fans known as BLINKs have been eagerly waiting for the group’s return, especially after a long period of solo projects and silence on group activities. While some fans have displayed frustration over the lack of pre-tour promotions and limited new music, many are excited to finally see BLACKPINK together on stage again with new material.
The group’s last major release was in 2022, and though the members have stayed busy with solo music, acting, and brand deals, fans have been demanding fresh group content for years.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
