BIGBANG Set Buzz
- BIGBANG was one of the buzziest remaining acts on Coachella Weekend 2 as Sunday approached. - Fans were tracking the group's start time and expected songs ahead of their return to the festival. - Time Out Los Angeles published practical start-time and setlist guidance for attendees following BIGBANG’s Weekend 2 slot (timeout.com).
BIGBANG returned to Coachella on Sunday, April 19, with a 10:30 p.m. Weekend 2 set at the Outdoor Theatre after a widely watched first-show comeback on April 12. (timeout.com) Coachella’s 2026 festival runs across April 10-12 and April 17-19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, and the official lineup lists BIGBANG alongside headliners including Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G. (coachellavalley.com) Time Out Los Angeles said fans heading into Weekend 2 were using the April 12 performance as the clearest guide to timing and song selection, with the group scheduled for a one-hour slot from 10:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Sunday. (timeout.com) The draw was bigger than a normal festival repeat. Time Out reported that Coachella marked BIGBANG’s first full-scale group performance since the group’s 2017 “Last Dance” tour and framed the 2026 appearance as part of the act’s 20th anniversary year. (timeout.com) The Coachella booking also carried old history. BIGBANG had been slated for the 2020 festival before that edition was canceled during the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving the 2026 shows as the group’s eventual Coachella debut. (timeout.com) Weekend 1’s reported setlist leaned hard on catalog staples and reunion-era emotion. Setlist.fm lists “Bang Bang Bang,” “Fantastic Baby,” “Sober,” “Loser,” “Haru Haru,” “Lies,” “Bad Boy,” “We Like 2 Party” and “Still Life,” plus solo spots for Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daesung. (setlist.fm) That song mix helps explain the online anticipation around Weekend 2. Time Out said the first show moved from high-energy hits into older ballads and closed with “Still Life,” which it described as the group’s most recent release. (timeout.com) For fans not in Indio, Coachella said YouTube was again the festival’s exclusive livestream partner in 2026, and Time Out pointed readers to the Outdoor Theatre feed for BIGBANG’s Sunday-night slot. (coachellavalley.com) (timeout.com) By Sunday night, the practical questions were simple: when to get to the Outdoor Theatre, whether Weekend 2 would mirror April 12, and whether a reunion framed as a comeback would stay a one-festival event or point to more dates ahead.
