Following their tours of Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan till early March, BLACKPINK will go on the Western leg of their world tour, starting from Los Angeles on April 17 and Chicago on April 24.

After touring more North American cities, including Hamilton and Atlanta, the group will move on to Europe and Australia.
