<p>Blackjack, the group&rsquo;s fandom, has eagerly anticipated 2NE1&rsquo;s comeback ever since their performance at the 2022 Coachella festival. Eight years have passed since the group&rsquo;s surprise disbandment in November 2016. Filipino fans, however, have waited even longer to see them live, as 2NE1&rsquo;s last visit to the Philippines was in 2014 during their &ldquo;All or Nothing&rdquo; tour. The &ldquo;Welcome Back Tour&rdquo; in Manila marks their second concert in the country after 10 years.</p>
