BigBang's 20th tour

BigBang said at Coachella on April 19 that its 20th anniversary world tour will start in August, alongside a newly completed album. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) G-Dragon made the announcement during the trio’s second Coachella weekend set in Indio, California, telling the crowd the tour would begin this August. YG Entertainment had already said on March 4 that it had agreed with the members to hold a concert in 2026. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) (ygfamily.com) The current touring lineup is G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung. Korea JoongAng Daily reported the album is finished, while dates and cities for the tour have not yet been released. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) (lofficielsingapore.com) The timing puts BigBang’s comeback on one of the biggest U.S. festival stages. Coachella’s 2026 lineup placed BigBang on both Sunday bills, April 12 and April 19, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. (coachellavalley.com) (soompi.com) The set itself mixed older group hits with newer solo work. Korea JoongAng Daily said the group performed “Bang Bang Bang,” “Fantastic Baby,” “Sober,” “Loser,” “Haru Haru” and “Lies,” then closed with “Still Life,” the group’s last release from 2022. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) The new tour is their first since the “Last Dance Tour” in 2017, and their last Asian tour before that was the 10th-anniversary “0.to.10” run in 2016 and 2017. L’Officiel Singapore said the new announcement is their first major tour reveal in nearly a decade. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) (lofficielsingapore.com) Coachella also carried extra weight because BigBang had been booked for the festival’s 2020 edition before that event was canceled during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their 2026 appearance turned that delayed festival debut into the launch point for a full anniversary campaign. (forbes.com) (lofficielsingapore.com) For YG Entertainment, the tour is part of a wider 2026 release schedule that also includes Treasure and Babymonster. The company said March 4 that BigBang’s return would mark both the group’s 20th debut anniversary and a renewed working relationship with YG. (ygfamily.com) What comes next is more concrete than the usual reunion tease: an album is done, August has been named for the tour launch, and the group used Coachella’s closing moments to say this return is already underway.
