A long-awaited return
BIGBANG was originally launched by YG Entertainment in 2006. The group is known for songs including “Lie,” “Last Farewell,” “Haru Haru,” “Fantastic Baby” and “Bang Bang Bang.” Over two decades, BIGBANG played role in transforming K-pop into a global cultural force.
While the group debuted as a quintet in 2006, BIGBANG has been performing as a trio since 2023. Their last tour before this announcement was in 2017. The tour follows BIGBANG’s return to the stage at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. It also comes after the 2022 single “Still Life,” the group’s first release in four years.
How the tour was teased
The tour had been teased for months, with G-Dragon generating fan interest during his Ubermensch solo tour run. The official announcement came at the end of BIGBANG’s weekend two Coachella set, where G-Dragon told the crowd: “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.”
