BlackPink’s Concert in Saudi Arabia Relocated; New Tickets Unveiled

K-pop female group BlackPink’s concert during the Riyadh Season has been moved to a new location.

The band will perform live at Blvd International Festival Site on 20 January, instead of Mrsool Park.

“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of the last-minute venue change of BlackPink World tour [Born Pink] Riyadh on 23 January 2023,” Live Nation Middle East wrote on Instagram. 

“Under the current circumstance we are given, the concert will be held at a different venue, but on the same date and at the same time.”

Live Nation noted that additional tickets for the concert will go on sale on 17 January on Ticketmaster, adding that tickets already bought are still valid and will have the same seat sections and numbers despite the change in venue.

In August 2022, BlackPink announced that they will be bringing their “Born Pink” world tour to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi.

Meanwhile, the group is set to headline the 2023 Coachella festival, along with Bad Bunny and Frank Ocean, making history as the first K-pop act to close out the festival's main stage.

The girl band will be on stage on the first and second Saturdays of the festival.
