BigBang concert chronology

The XX: Cosmos World Tour is the upcoming third major world concert tour by South Korean boy band BigBang. The tour marks the group's first concert series as a three-member lineup consisting of G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung, and is their first concert tour since the Last Dance Tour concluded in 2017.[1]

Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the group's debut, the 31-show tour is scheduled to begin on August 21, 2026, at Goyang Stadium in Goyang, South Korea. It will visit cities across Asia, North America, Europe, and Australia before concluding in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on February 28, 2027.[2]

Background and promotion

[edit]

After concluding their Last Dance Tour in December 2017, BigBang entered an extended hiatus while the members completed their mandatory military service.[3] Promotion for the tour focused on BigBang's 20th anniversary and its first live performances as a three-member lineup.[1] In April 2026, BigBang performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, presenting a set that included songs from throughout its career.[2][4] Forbes described the performance as evidence that the group remained "unparalleled", while the Los Angeles Times noted the size of the audience and discussed the group's influence on K-pop.[5][6][unreliable source?] During the performance, G-Dragon announced that a world tour was being planned.[1][7] On June 10, 2026, YG Entertainment and AEG Presents announced a 31-show itinerary.[8][9]

Ticketing and sales

[edit]

Ticket sales for the XX: Cosmos World Tour were handled by several ticketing agencies, including Ticketmaster, AXS, and Coupang Play. Ticket sales were organized through several presale periods. Members of BigBang's V.I.P fan club on b.stage could register for presale access from June 16 to 21, with the membership presale beginning on June 24.[10] Regional promoters, including AEG Presents in the United Kingdom and France, held additional presales on June 25 for concerts at venues including the Stade de France and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.[7][11]

Tickets for the tour's opening three concerts at Goyang Stadium, scheduled for August 21-23, 2026, went on sale to the general public through Coupang Play on June 25. All available seats sold out within 22 minutes.[12] The platform recorded a peak of approximately 210,000 concurrent users and its highest single-day reservation traffic for a music or entertainment event in South Korea during the first half of 2026.[13][14][unreliable source?]

Tickets for most international dates went on sale to the general public on June 26 through distributors including AXS and Ticketmaster.[15][16][17] Tickets for the North American opening concert at the Oakland Coliseum, scheduled for September 5, sold out within 30 minutes. Following the sellout, organizers reportedly considered adding further dates in response to demand.[18][19]
