YG Entertainment has officially announced BIGBANG’s “2026 World Tour,” which kicks off at Goyang Stadium in Korea from August 21 to 23, 2026. This is not only a major project celebrating the group’s 20th anniversary, but also its first global tour in 9 years as a complete group. The news immediately set VIP communities around the world abuzz: The tour will span 31 shows in 18 cities across Asia, North America, and Europe, with venues in Hong Kong and Taiwan already on the list.
The emotion of a reunion after 9 years: The powerful impact of the three members reuniting
In the past few years, the members have each pursued their own paths: G-Dragon released a new album, Daesung has been active in different fields, and Taeyang has just returned with new music. Everyone has been waiting to see when they would share a stage again.
For readers who grew up listening to their music as students, seeing the three members return to the tour stage together will no doubt be a gentle yet powerful shock. Compared with their flamboyant, uninhibited style of the past, time has shaped them, and they are expected to bring a different, more layered kind of energy to their live shows.

To match the scale of a 20th anniversary, the venue selection naturally could not be taken lightly. Based on the information YG Entertainment has released so far, the tour is set entirely in world-class stadiums and major domes. Along with MetLife Stadium and Stade de France in the U.S. and Europe, the Asian lineup is just as impressive.
The Taiwan and Hong Kong dates fans have been most concerned about are both on the schedule, with Taiwan securing two major venues at once: Taipei Dome and Kaohsiung National Stadium. The Hong Kong show will take place at Kai Tak Sports Park, and fans are likely already planning their trips.
This tour is more than an expression of nostalgia. It is also YG Entertainment’s declaration that BIGBANG’s appeal onstage remains irreplaceable. Even as new generations of idols continue to emerge, they can still easily fill major arenas around the world – a level of cross-generational appeal that is truly rare.
Now that the dates and venues have begun to take shape, ticket prices and on-sale times are naturally what everyone is most eager to know. The official details on ticket sale dates and prices for each city have not yet been announced.
With only two months until the opening Goyang concert on August 21, the rush to secure tickets for overseas dates will likely begin soon. If you want to be part of this 20th-anniversary concert, remember to keep these months open and watch for our upcoming updates on ticketing details for each city.
