BIGBANG’s 20th Anniversary Tour in Bangkok Halted After Heavy Rain and Lightning; Full Refunds Announced

“Audience safety comes first” … Swift response and responsible decision amid severe weather

The group “BIGBANG” abruptly halted a performance during its “20th Anniversary World Tour” in Bangkok, Thailand, after weather conditions rapidly deteriorated. Prioritizing audience safety, the organizers and members swiftly decided to stop the show and began arranging full refunds for tickets.

According to the music industry on the 9th, BIGBANG was performing the second show of its solo concert “XX : COSMOS” at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, the previous day when torrential rain, strong winds and lightning forced the group to cancel before the performance could be completed. The large-scale stadium concert was held over two days, beginning on the 7th, and drew considerable interest from local and international fans.

Given concerns about safety incidents, including the “risk of lightning strikes” affecting stage equipment and audience areas at the large outdoor stadium, the organizers immediately stopped the performance. To minimize inconvenience to concertgoers, the promoter officially decided to issue “full refunds” for tickets to the second show that day.

BIGBANG’s members also offered fans heartfelt words of comfort in an official statement. The group posted on its official social media accounts: “We sincerely apologize for not being able to finish the performance. Above all, we are prioritizing everyone’s safety, and we thank everyone who came to the venue.”

Member “G-DRAGON” also wrote on his personal social media account: “I know you waited a long time, so I’m really disappointed and upset. Above all, everyone’s safety comes first, so let’s make sure we meet again.”

Meanwhile, BIGBANG is carrying out a large-scale “world tour” schedule comprising a total of “39 shows” in “19 cities” around the world, including North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia, as well as this “Bangkok concert.”
