BIGBANG announced a 20th-anniversary world tour during its second-weekend Coachella set, with G-Dragon saying the run will begin in August 2026. (hollywoodreporter.com) (lofficielph.com) The group onstage was the current trio of G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung, and the announcement came as they closed their set at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 20. (hollywoodreporter.com) (forbes.com) Music outlets reporting on the reveal said BIGBANG also confirmed a new album, with Bandwagon reporting that the record is already completed. Dates and cities for the tour have not been released. (bandwagon.asia) (lofficielph.com) The timing matters because BIGBANG has not mounted a major tour since the 2017 “Last Dance” run. L’Officiel Philippines described this as the group’s first major tour announcement in nearly a decade. (lofficielph.com) The Coachella reveal also followed an earlier signal from YG Entertainment. On March 4, YG posted its “2026 YG PLAN” update and said it had agreed with BIGBANG members to hold a concert in their 20th debut-anniversary year. (ygfamily.com) That YG statement did not give an August start date, tour title, or city list. Those details surfaced later through the Coachella-stage announcement and follow-up coverage after the festival set. (ygfamily.com) (hollywoodreporter.com) The comeback is also taking shape with a different lineup from past BIGBANG eras. Bandwagon reported that T.O.P will not return for the group comeback, leaving the anniversary project centered on G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung. (bandwagon.asia) For now, the confirmed facts are narrower than some fan-circulated tour posts: BIGBANG announced a 20th-anniversary world tour at Coachella, said it starts in August 2026, and tied the return to a new album. The next step is the official release of dates, cities, and ticket details. (hollywoodreporter.com) (bandwagon.asia)
