Big Bang World Tour 2026: 31-Show Stadium Run Kicks Off in August

will launch a 31-show stadium world tour in August 2026, the group announced after months of teases. The milestone run marks the K‑pop act’s first full tour since 2017 and spans Asia, North America, Europe and Australia.

The schedule opens at Goyang Stadium in South Korea with three nights — August 21, 22 and 23 — then moves to the United States for two September stadium shows: the Oakland‑Alameda County Coliseum on September 5 and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on September 11. European dates include Stade de France on September 19 and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on September 26.

Asia and Oceania stops are concentrated in October and November. BIGBANG will play Taipei Dome on October 10 and 11, Singapore’s National Stadium on October 17, and Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi on October 24 and 25. The tour continues to Accor Stadium in Sydney on October 31, Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok on November 7, Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on November 13–15, Kyocera Dome Osaka on November 27–29, Vantelin Dome Nagoya on December 5–6, and closes a stadium leg at Tokyo Dome on December 13.

The announcement emphasizes scale: 31 stadium dates timed to the group’s 20th anniversary. G‑Dragon told fans at that “BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary world tour will begin this August,” and a representative said the company is “channeling every effort to deliver the best‑ever scale and level of perfection for the upcoming shows.” The rep added that the stages will be “monumental, spanning the past, present, and future of K‑Pop.”

Practically, the tour will be performed by G‑Dragon, and — the trio that reunited for Taeyang’s solo concert about two years ago and which has since appeared at the 2024 MAMA Awards and this year’s Coachella. BIGBANG began in 2006 as a five‑member group; left in 2019 and TOP departed after participating on the 2022 single “Still Life.” VIP ticketing for Singapore will allow fans to see G‑Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung together live on October 17 at the National Stadium.

The billing as a BIGBANG world tour carries a built‑in complication: the reunion is advertised under the group name but will proceed with three members rather than the original five. The difference matters to fans and to promotional framing, and YG’s statement focuses on staging and spectacle rather than lineup detail.

The announcement gives concrete dates and venues but leaves two immediate gaps: the final tour title and ticketing details. Organizers say those items will be released later; fans are advised to sign up to the group’s official b.stage for the first alerts on ticket sales and any changes to routing or show configuration.
