(forbes.com) Korea JoongAng Daily reported the band also said it had finished a new album for the anniversary campaign, with the tour scheduled to start in August 2026. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) The announcement landed during BigBang’s first Coachella appearance, a booking that Forbes said came six years after the group’s original invitation was wiped out when the 2020 festival was canceled during the COVID-19 pandemic. (forbes.com) That Coachella return doubled as an anniversary marker: BigBang debuted in 2006, making 2026 the group’s 20th year. The Hollywood Reporter said the tour reveal was framed onstage as part of a “reset” for the act.

(setlist.fm) That song list also underscored the scale of the reunion: Setlist.fm logged several tracks, including “Loser,” “Haru Haru,” “Lies” and “Bad Boy,” as returning to the group’s live show for the first time since 2017. (setlist.fm) Tour dates, cities and ticket details had not been announced as of April 21, 2026. For now, BigBang has confirmed the comeback run, the three-member lineup and an August start.
