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 August 2026 through early 2027, covering Asia, North America, Europe, and Oceania across approximately 25 cities in 16 countries (14 announced so far). Most venues are yet to be confirmed — check the city guide pages below as they are updated with official details.
Quick Reference
The Coachella 2026 Announcement — What G-Dragon Revealed
On April 19, 2026, during BIGBANG's Coachella Weekend 2 closing set at the Outdoor Theatre, G-Dragon officially announced that the BIGSHOW: REBORN world tour will launch in August 2026. This capped BIGBANG's triumphant Coachella debut — their first major U.S. festival headline, six years after their originally-planned 2020 slot was postponed.
Industry reports from multiple outlets indicate the tour will span approximately 25 cities across 16 countries, covering Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania from August 2026 through early 2027. This makes BIGSHOW: REBORN BIGBANG's most ambitious global trek since their 2017 Last Dance tour. Tickets are expected to range from $720 to $6,300, with a real-name ticketing system implemented to combat scalpers.
The tour reunites G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung as a trio — marking their first full-group world tour since T.O.P's departure in 2023. 14 cities have been publicly confirmed, with 11+ additional cities expected to be announced in coming weeks.

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.
