BIGBANG are back baby — and they are going big. The group announced June 11, that their 20/26 World Tour will kick off on August 21 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea, spanning 31 stadium shows across Asia, North America, Europe, and Australia through February 2027. The tour ends a nine-year absence from the global stage and arrives on the group’s 20th anniversary year.
Why The BIGBANG 20/26 World Tour Is Important
BIGBANG debuted under YG Entertainment in August 2006, and over the two decades that followed helped transform K-pop from a domestic South Korean phenomenon into a global cultural force. Their catalog, from “Lies,” “Last Farewell,” “Haru Haru,” “Fantastic Baby,” “Bang Bang Bang,” and dozens more, shaped a generation of artists and fans across genres that spanned hip-hop, R&B, electronic pop, and arena anthems. The group’s influence on K-pop’s global expansion in the late 2000s and early 2010s is widely cited by industry observers as foundational, predating the BTS-era internationalisation of the genre by nearly a decade.
The tour reunites G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung, with members TOP and Seungri remaining outside the group. The official tour title, ticketing information, and on-sale dates have not yet been confirmed and fans can sign up for updates through BIGBANG’s official b.stage platform.
How The BIGBANG Tour Was Announced
The announcement had been building since April. At the end of BIGBANG’s second weekend Coachella set, G-Dragon told the crowd directly: “This is just the beginning. We got something special to announce for the first time right here at Coachella. BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary world tour will begin this August. It’s going to be crazy. Do not miss out”. In the months that followed, G-Dragon had been teasing the tour during his Übermensch solo tour run, per Rolling Stone, but specific dates and venues had not been confirmed until today’s announcement. YG Entertainment’s representative told Rolling Stone the production would be among the most ambitious the group has ever mounted, with a creative vision spanning the group’s full two decades.
What To Expect From The BIGBANG Tour
Per the AEG Presents statement, the tour represents “one of the most significant live music events of 2026 for global fans and a historic new chapter for one of the most influential groups in modern music.” The group’s massively popular Coachella performance in April featured songs spanning nearly their entire career, from early hits to recent releases including “Home Sweet Home”, offering perhaps the clearest preview of the tour’s setlist register.
