Why BLACKPINK Turning Kai Tak Stadium Pink in January 2026 Is a Massive Moment
Hong Kong’s brand-new Kai Tak Stadium is about to host something huge: BLACKPINK’s two-night finale, 24–25 January 2026, on the DEADLINE World Tour.
Whether you’re a die-hard BLINK or simply keen to witness a cultural milestone, here’s why these shows are bigger than a standard K-pop stop-over, plus a couple of local tips to keep your whole weekend running smoothly.
A Tour That Ends Where East Meets West
The DEADLINE World Tour runs through 31 stadiums on three continents, kicking off on 5 July 2025 in Seoul and finishing in Hong Kong.
Wrapping here isn’t random. It signals Hong Kong’s new weight on the global concert map and gifts local fans the ultimate send-off.
Kai Tak Stadium: A New Era for Live Music
Rising from the former airport runway, Kai Tak’s 50,000-seat stadium has already welcomed heavy hitters like Coldplay. BLACKPINK’s finale locks the venue, and Hong Kong itself, into Asia’s must-play circuit.
Tickets? Gone Within Hours
When general sale opened on 13 June 2025, every tier, from HK$699 seats to HK$3,499 BLINK PIT, vanished within a few hours. Still hunting? Keep an eye on official resale channels and lock in a flexible rate at an Ovolo hotel so you’re only paying when the ticket gods smile.
A City-Wide BLINK Take-Over
Hong Kong fans aren’t just queueing, they’re decorating entire MTR stations, buying LED billboards and plotting giant meet-ups. Expect fresh set-list reveals, stadium-wide fanchants and limited-edition merch drops.
Show Day = Full-Throttle Fan Experience
- Pop-up merch villages and photo zones around the concourse
- Themed tunnel art in Tsim Sha Tsui
- Street-level café take-overs and BLINK charity booths
- Kid-friendly seating tiers alongside high-energy standing pits
Solo, squad or family, this weekend will be one of 2026’s unmissable things to do in Hong Kong.
Where to Stay
The concert-day atmosphere starts long before gates open and often rolls into the small hours, making a stay along a direct MTR path to a must.
Stay in Central and you’re steps from Lan Kwai Fong’s late-night scene, perfect for post-show celebrations. Design-led Ovolo Central sits on Arbuthnot Road, and the MTR whisks you to Kai Tak in about 17 minutes.
Craving a creative neighbourhood vibe? Base yourself in Wong Chuk Hang’s converted-warehouse district at Southside by Ovolo. The South Island Line links to the stadium in roughly 25 minutes.
Final Bow
BLACKPINK closing their world tour at Hong Kong’s newest mega-venue is more than a concert, it’s a pop-culture moment.
Book a bed on the MTR grid, pack something pink, and be there when the city turns up the volume on 24–25 January 2026.
