BIGBANG’s 20th-anniversary project is continuing with the release of new music and the opening of a world tour. YG Entertainment lists August 19, 2026, as the release date for the digital single ‘BiiiG’ and said the track features G-DRAGON, TAEYANG, and DAESUNG.
Key Developments
The ‘BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR <XX : COSMOS>’ began at Goyang Stadium from August 21 to 23, 2026. Yonhap reported that the tour opened with three shows in Goyang and that ‘BiiiG’ was performed live for the first time at the concerts.
The release of the new song and the opening concerts in Goyang were confirmed in succession, clarifying the current progress of the 20th-anniversary project.
Current Status
YG’s initial announcement described the world tour as spanning 18 cities with 31 shows, but later official materials presented an expanded figure of 19 cities and 33 shows. As of now, the scale to use for reference is the 19-city, 33-show figure in the subsequent official materials.
The official tour page lists multiple overseas performances, including the following upcoming dates:
- September 4–5, 2026, at 8 p.m.: Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
- September 11, 2026: East Rutherford
- September 19, 2026: Paris
- September 26, 2026: London
Impact
The schedule shows that BIGBANG’s 20th-anniversary single and world tour are not merely separate developments; the released music is being connected to the group’s live performances. The key points for readers are whether the new song was released, whether the opening concerts in Goyang have been completed, and how the official tour scale changed from the initial announcement.
However, tour dates and ticket availability may change. Readers should use the currently published cities and show count as a reference and check the latest listings on the official page when verifying individual performances.
Next Checkpoint
The next checkpoint is the Oakland performance listed on the official tour page for September 4–5, 2026. Before publication, the performance dates and times should be checked again on YG’s official tour page to confirm that they remain unchanged.
