After years of anticipation, K-pop legends BIGBANG have officially announced their highly anticipated 20th anniversary world tour, marking one of the most significant comeback events in K-pop history.
The iconic trio of G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung will reunite on stages around the world to celebrate two decades since their debut, bringing their legendary catalogue of hits back to fans who have waited years for a full-scale group tour. The announcement follows months of speculation after the members hinted at future activities during solo appearances and special performances.
A YG Entertainment representative shared, “As BIGBANG is one of the leading artists who broadened the reach of K-Pop on a global scale by setting new milestones in the popular music industry, BIGBANG is channelling every effort to deliver the best-ever scale and level of perfection for the upcoming shows.” They added, “The stages are set to be monumental, spanning the past, present, and future of K-Pop.”
Australian VIPs have particular reason to celebrate, with Sydney confirmed as one of the tour’s international destinations. The announcement marks BIGBANG’s return to Australia more than a decade after their groundbreaking MADE World Tour, which saw the group perform in both Sydney and Melbourne and introduce their explosive live performances to Australian audiences for the first time.
