Rosé surprised fans with an appearance from Bruno Mars at Blackpink‘s second concert in Los Angeles over the weekend. The singer enlisted Mars to perform their joint single, “Apt.,” which dropped last fall.

Mars joined Rosé onstage at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium to showcase the flirtatious track, which sees the pair dueting on vocals and sharing the hooky chorus. The musicians wore coordinating jackets for the performance, which culminated with confetti and a lively dance party from Blackpink’s backup dancers.

Blackpink is currently in the midst of their reunion trek, titled the Deadline tour. The tour kicked off last week at Seoul’s Goyang Stadium, where the group debuted a new song, “Jump.” The show marked their first live performance together in nearly two years. Blackpink later shared a music video for “Jump” along with its studio version, which was produced by Diplo, 24, Boaz Van De Beatz , Zecca, and Ape Drums.

In total, Blackpink will perform 18 shows on the Deadline tour, including shows in Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, and New York in mid-July. The band will also play at Japan’s Tokyo Dome in mid-January 2026.

Rolling Stone reviewed the group’s first Los Angeles show on Saturday night, noting that Blackpink filled the venue “with the kind of poptimism and electric choreography we’ve come to expect from the greatest girl group of this generation. It felt as if they had never left—picking up right where they left off, stronger than ever.”
