BIGBANG BIGSHOW: REBORN
2026–2027 World Tour Travel Guide

BIGBANG is back. G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung return to the world stage for their 20th anniversary BIGSHOW: REBORN tour — spanning 14 cities across Asia, North America, Europe, and Oceania. Here is everything you need to plan your trip, city by city.

Official Announcements Pending

Most venue details and ticket on-sales for the BIGSHOW: REBORN tour are still TBA. Coachella (Indio, CA) is confirmed. All other city guides are prepared in advance of official announcements. Check back as details are released.

Tour Overview

BIGBANG's BIGSHOW: REBORN is the group's long-awaited return to the world stage, marking 20 years since their debut. G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung perform together as a trio for the first time in years — a moment that has sent waves through the global K-POP community since the tour was announced at Coachella 2026.

BIGBANG was foundational to the global spread of K-POP. Their BIGSHOW concert series — held annually in Seoul from 2008 onward — set the standard for K-POP stadium production. Shows ran 3+ hours with elaborate staging, surprise collaborations, and a setlist depth no other group could match. BIGSHOW: REBORN carries that legacy into a new era.

The tour spans April through November 2026, covering Asia, North America, Europe, and Oceania. Most venues outside of Coachella are yet to be confirmed — check the city guide pages below as they are updated with official details.

Concert Tips for VIPs

Lightstick

BIGBANG's official lightstick is the yellow crown-shaped BIGBANG Lightstick. Bring it charged and check the Weverse app for any Bluetooth sync features activated for the tour.

Arrive Early

BIGBANG merchandise lines are notorious. For major stops like Seoul and LA, arrive 3+ hours before showtime to secure merch before it sells out. Limited-edition items go first.

Setlist Expectations

Expect a deep catalog setlist: “Fantastic Baby”, “Bang Bang Bang”, “Lies”, “Haru Haru”, “Crooked”, “Loser”, “Blue”, “Bae Bae”, solo stages from each member, and new REBORN-era material. Shows typically run 2.5–3 hours.
