Blackpink may be gearing up for a new album, if recent rumours are anything to go by. Following the success of their latest project Deadline, speculation is rife that the global K-pop sensation is preparing to release a brand new full-length album titled Born To Shine later this year. Adding to the excitement, BLINKS on X are also excited about the possibility of another world tour, which could take the group across continents once again after their record-breaking stadium run.
Blackpink to go on Another World Tour?
According to circulating reports on social media, Blackpink’s third full album, tentatively titled Born To Shine, could arrive as early as August. The rumours gained traction after fan accounts and online chatter pointed to a possible leak from a French news outlet, which claimed that the group was already working on the album. The same reports also hinted at high-profile collaborations, with names like Rosalía and Pharrell Williams being floated as potential contributors. Several fans on X have shared screenshots and posts suggesting that Blackpink could be planning a new world tour spanning 2026 and 2027. While these claims remain unverified, they have sparked excitement within the fandom, with many hoping for official announcements soon.

About Blackpink’s Deadline
While there has been no official confirmation from their agency YG Entertainment, the timing of these rumours has certainly caught attention. Blackpink recently wrapped up promotions for Deadline, their third Korean EP, which marked their first major project since Born Pink in 2022. The EP, released in February 2026, featured five tracks and was led by the chart-topping single Jump, which dominated global music charts including the Billboard Global 200, debuting at Number 1.

The group had also gone on the Deadline World Tour starting July 2025, which became their first all-stadium tour and was sold out everywhere. With that tour now concluded, fans believe the next logical step would be a fresh album cycle followed by another global tour.
If Born To Shine does materialise, it would be Blackpink’s third full-length studio album and a huge milestone in their career. Collaborations with international artists like Rosalía and Pharrell Williams would just add to their crazy fame worldwide. With Jisoo, Jennie, Rose and Lisa busy with solo projects as well, the rumour cannot be fully trusted till there is an official announcement. However, BLINKS are hoping this time Blackpink would give them a full album and lots of viral moments.
