BIGBANG Becomes First K-pop Group to Perform at Sydney’s Accor Stadium, Reigniting the City 11 Years Later

The group BIGBANG cemented its global stature as the first K-pop group to headline a show at Accor Stadium, Sydney’s massive concert venue.

Back in Sydney after 11 years, standing alongside global pop stars

According to its agency, YG Entertainment, BIGBANG successfully wrapped up its world tour stop, 'BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR 〈 XX : COSMOS 〉 IN SYDNEY,' at Accor Stadium in Sydney, Australia, on October 31 (local time). Accor Stadium has hosted global pop stars including Taylor Swift and Coldplay, and this was the first time a K-pop group had held a solo concert there. The show was BIGBANG’s first solo concert in Sydney since 2015—a gap of 11 years—and local fans who had been waiting for the group turned out in force, filling the venue.

From megahits to new songs, a powerful 20th-anniversary show from start to finish

The show opened in spectacular fashion with “FANTASTIC BABY,” “HANDS UP” and “TONIGHT.” The crowd reached a fever pitch as the group performed era-defining megahits including “LOSER,” “Haru Haru,” “Lies” and “BANG BANG BANG.” The set continued without pause, spanning the group’s past and present with solo performances highlighting each member’s individuality and the new song “BiiiG.” Onstage, backed by solid live vocals, vibrant band arrangements and dazzling special effects, the members offered heartfelt thanks: “BIGBANG is finally back. We owe our 20th anniversary to V.I.P (the name of our fandom). We’ll keep making you happy.”

Next stop: Bangkok’s Rajamangala Stadium as world tour continues across 19 cities

After a successful show in Sydney, BIGBANG will return to Asia to keep the world tour’s momentum going. The group is set to perform at Bangkok’s Rajamangala National Stadium in Thailand on November 7 and 8. The Bangkok shows reportedly added an additional date in response to strong fan demand. Along with these dates, BIGBANG plans to connect with fans around the world on a large-scale tour spanning 39 shows across 19 cities in North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia.
