BIGBANG Says It Completed Work on New Album, to Launch World Tour in August

G-Dragon said the group has completed a new album and will launch a 20th-anniversary world tour, its first since 2017.

  • On Sunday, K-pop group BIGBANG announced a 20th anniversary world tour launching in August during their performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California. Members G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung confirmed they have completed a new album.
  • This year marks BIGBANG's 20th anniversary, with members characterizing the Coachella performance as a 'restart' rather than a one-off reunion. The group has not toured as a full unit since their 2017 Last Dance run.
  • During their second weekend at the festival, BIGBANG performed hits including "Bang Bang Bang" and "Fantastic Baby," while adding their 2015 single "Bae Bae" to the setlist. Each member showcased solo stages.
  • Taeyang announced his upcoming solo album, 'Quintessence,' will launch the group's new chapter. YG Entertainment executive producer Yang Hyun-suk previously confirmed the tour plans, though specific international stops and venues remain unannounced.
  • Having sold at least 140 million records worldwide since debuting in 2006, BIGBANG emphasized they are "not done yet." Further tour dates across Asia, Europe, and North America are expected in the coming weeks.
