BigBang opened their XX: Cosmos World Tour at Goyang Stadium yesterday — August 21, 2026. All available seats for the three opening nights sold out within 22 minutes.
The tour runs from August 21, 2026 through February 28, 2027: 33 concerts, 19 cities, four continents. G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung performed the opening night to a full stadium.
The 20th Anniversary
On August 19, 2026 — exactly 20 years after BigBang's debut — they released a new digital single titled "BiiiG". It was their first group release in four years and four months, following "Still Life" in April 2022.
The track pairs each member's distinct style: G-Dragon's sharp rap delivery, Taeyang's groovy vocals, and Daesung's powerful, soulful voice — built around a heavy hip-hop beat and a celebratory hook. YG described it as "a song representing the group's present identity at the 20-year milestone." The title is a stylized form of "big," referencing the group's name.
The music video looks back on BigBang's history through two decades of references — including their signature light stick and a set inspired by "Sunset Glow," the title track from their second full-length album. Within an hour of release, "BiiiG" hit number one on Melon's TOP100 and topped Genie, Bugs, and VIBE simultaneously. The music video reached number one on YouTube's worldwide trending chart.
The 20th anniversary also brought fan events and media exhibitions around Seoul's Han River and Jamsil areas.
Two days after the single dropped, the tour began.

Editorial take: The speed of the sellouts — 22 minutes in Seoul, 30 minutes in Oakland — suggests audiences have already made peace with the version of BigBang that exists now. The market answered the question the group spent years not asking.
