BIGBANG Confirms Official Global Tour for 20th Anniversary... Set to Perform at Coachella Next Month

Group BIGBANG will officially hold a global tour to celebrate their 20th anniversary this year. Yang Hyun-suk, the head producer of YG Entertainment, revealed this plan through an official blog interview released on the 4th.

Yang Hyun-suk stated, "We have reached an agreement with the members of BIGBANG to hold a concert," adding, "Since we have been working together for a long time, I believe there will be no difficulties. All YG staff will do their best to create a perfect and wonderful performance."

Debuting in 2006, BIGBANG has established itself as a representative idol group of the second generation of K-pop with a series of hit songs such as 'Lies', 'Haru Haru', 'Last Farewell', and 'Loser'.

Since their last group song 'Spring Summer Fall Winter' was released in April 2022, there have been no new group releases, but members G-Dragon, Tae Yang, and Daesung have maintained their friendship through solo concert guest appearances and joint appearances at the 2024 Mnet 'MAMA Awards'.

The members have publicly expressed a strong will to resume team activities ahead of the 20th anniversary. G-Dragon mentioned at a solo fan meeting last month, "This year, BIGBANG will make a comeback for our 20th anniversary. As a member and also as a fan, I am looking forward to it, and I believe all the members feel the same way."

This global tour is drawing attention in the K-pop industry not only for its significance in celebrating BIGBANG's 20th anniversary but also for the fact that YG and BIGBANG are joining forces again. Specific tour dates and detailed plans will be announced later.

Meanwhile, BIGBANG will also perform at the large outdoor music festival 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival' in California, USA, next month, marking the beginning of their global activities.
