BIGBANG announce their first world tour since 2017, a 31-show stadium run across 18 cities for their 20th anniversary. Dates inside
BIGBANG are going back on the road. On June 11, YG Entertainment officially announced the BIGBANG 2026 World Tour, the group’s first stadium tour since 2017 and their largest global undertaking in nearly a decade. The tour, formally titled BIGSHOW: REBORN, will run 31 dates across 18 cities in Asia, North America, Europe, and Oceania, beginning with three consecutive nights at Goyang Stadium in South Korea from August 21 to 23. The announcement confirms what G-Dragon promised from the Coachella stage in April: this is not a one-off. It is a full-scale return.
The official announcement had been coming in stages since March, when YG Entertainment chief producer Yang Hyun Suk appeared in the label’s “2026 YG PLAN” video, his first public interview in nearly a year, and confirmed that a concert had been agreed upon with the BIGBANG members. “Since we’ve worked together for such a long time, I don’t think there will be any difficulties,” Yang stated at the time, adding that all YG staff would work to deliver a perfect performance. That statement set the tone for a year being carefully orchestrated around BIGBANG’s 20th debut anniversary, marked from August 2006 when the group first launched under YG.
From Coachella to 18 Cities: The Scale of BIGSHOW REBORN
The Coachella Weekend Two set served as the tour’s unofficial launch moment. At the close of the performance, G-Dragon addressed 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.” That declaration, delivered live to tens of thousands in Indio, California, and millions more watching the stream, landed with the weight of something fans had been waiting years to hear.
Now the full picture is clear. BIGSHOW: REBORN will play exclusively at world-class stadiums and domes, including MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on September 11, Stade de France in Paris on September 19, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on September 26, Tokyo Dome across three nights in December, and a run of Japan dates through Kyocera Dome Osaka, Vantelin Dome Nagoya, and Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka. North American fans get two dates: Oakland on September 5 and New Jersey on September 11. YG has also confirmed that additional cities will be announced in phases, signaling that the current 31-date list is not the final count.
In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, a YG Entertainment representative positioned the tour within a broader cultural claim: “As BIGBANG is one of the leading artists who broadened the reach of K-Pop on a global scale by setting new milestones in the popular music industry, BIGBANG is channeling every effort to deliver the best-ever scale and level of perfection for the upcoming shows.” They added: “The stages are set to be monumental, spanning the past, present, and future of K-Pop.”
The Setlist Question and What the Tour Represents
Taeyang, speaking with Rolling Stone ahead of the tour announcement, acknowledged that building the Coachella setlist was the hardest part of preparing, a comment that carries direct implications for what BIGSHOW: REBORN will feel like night to night. The Coachella set pulled from the full arc of the group’s catalog, opening with 2006’s “A Fool of Tears” and moving through signature hits all the way to “Home Sweet Home,” the 2024 G-Dragon album track featuring Taeyang and Daesung that first signaled the reunion was real. The world tour setlist, by that logic, will be just as carefully curated.
A fan participation event called STILL ALIVE will also run alongside the tour as part of BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary programming. Fans can register for updates and ticketing notifications through the group’s official b.stage page at bigbang.bstage.in. Ticketing details have not yet been announced. Given that BIGBANG general ticket sales have historically sold out in seconds rather than minutes, the advice from veteran VIPs is clear: prepare early and do not wait.
