BIGBANG launches 20th anniv. world tour with hit-filled Goyang shows

Seoul, South Korea, August 23 - K-pop sensation BIGBANG kicked off a 20th anniversary world tour with three electrifying nights of concerts in Goyang. The trio reunited for the first time in nine years on Friday to Sunday at Goyang Stadium, performing a mix of their most popular hits and the debut of their new digital single, BiiiG.

The stadium was filled with fans of all ages, singing along to the group's anthems, their voices harmonizing with the energy of the live performance. The group appeared on stage in matching all-white attire – a long jacket, a floor-length coat, and a blazer – and captivated the audience with high-energy choreography and powerful performances.

G-Dragon started the concert with Hands Up and Tonight, igniting the crowd with flames during Tonight. Daesung introduced himself as the one who has been singing for 20 years, while Taeyang urged fans to give their best for the final show. The group then performed a medley of songs that showcased their diverse musical styles, from the melancholic Blue and Loser to the swaggering Bad Boy and Bae Bae.

Later, each member took individual stages, allowing them to express their unique musical identities. The concert concluded with the performance of BiiiG, marking the beginning of their extensive 20th anniversary tour across North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia, with more dates to be announced in the future.
