Jennie to hold 3 concerts under the banner of The Ruby Experience
The BLACKPINK artist took the internet by storm with the announcement of The Ruby Experience concerts, marking her first-ever solo concert tour. The news arrived just days after she unveiled her debut solo album, RUBY, which is all set for a release on March 7, 2025.
The highly anticipated tour will kick off on March 6, 2025, in Los Angeles at the Peacock Theater, followed by a New York show at Radio City Music Hall on March 10. The show will conclude in Seoul at Seoul Inspire Arena on March 15.
In a heartfelt gesture by her, a portion of the ticket sales proceeds will be donated toward relief efforts for the Los Angeles wildfires. Due to the overwhelming demand, show tickets sold out within minutes. This prompted fans to call for larger venues to accommodate more attendees for the BLACKPINK star's concerts.
RUBY, the BLACKPINK member's first full-length solo album, features 15 tracks and includes collaborations with international artists like Dua Lipa, Childish Gambino, Doechii, Kali Uchis, and FKJ. However, ahead of the album's official release, she surprised fans with a pre-release single, ZEN, on January 25, 2025.
