K-pop legends BIGBANG are ending a nearly decade-long touring hiatus. The trio of G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung will embark on a 31-date stadium tour to celebrate their 20th anniversary. This marks their first full-scale global run since 2017.
G-Dragon broke the news directly to fans during the group’s weekend two Coachella set. Following a 67-minute performance, he announced from the stage: “BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary world tour will begin this August. It’s going to be crazy. Do not miss out.”
The global trek kicks off on August 21 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea. From there, the routing includes an expansion into Asian markets before hitting 18 cities across North America, Europe, and Oceania. Confirmed stops include MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Stade de France in Paris, Accor Stadium in Sydney, and the Tokyo Dome.
To handle the high demand and combat ticket scalping, organizers are rolling out new operational procedures for the reunion. The tour logistics are structured as follows:
- The group launches the anniversary run in Seoul on August 21.
- Organizers will enforce a strict “real-name ticketing system” in highly targeted international markets, such as Hong Kong, to prevent unauthorized resale.
- The stadium schedule will continuously run through February 2027.
