The long-awaited return of the K-pop queens is finally here. BLACKPINK will release their third EP, 'Deadline,' on February 27, 2026. This marks their first major group project in 3 years and 5 months, ending a hiatus that has kept the global music industry on edge.
BLACKPINK Comeback 2026 Deadline: Quality Over Speed
According to YG Entertainment, the group's upcoming EP follows their September 2022 release, 'Born Pink.' While the quartet released the digital single 'Jump' in July 2025, this new EP represents a full-scale commitment to their distinctive group identity. YG noted that although the music video and major production were finished last year, they pushed the release to 2026 to ensure the highest possible quality for their fans.
A Grand Finale for the World Tour
The album title 'Deadline' shares its name with the group's current world tour, which kicked off in Goyang last July. The comeback is designed to be the grand finale of this global journey. Fans in Japan and Hong Kong will be the first to celebrate the news during the final tour dates.
