BIGBANG Add SoFi Stadium Date to 'XX : COSMOS' World Tour for 20th Anniversary

A Milestone Reunion Hits Los Angeles

BIGBANG are extending their 20th anniversary celebration with a newly added performance at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on March 13, 2027. The show marks the final scheduled U.S. date of their 'XX : COSMOS' World Tour, giving American V.I.Ps one last chance to experience the reunion of G-DRAGON, TAEYANG and DAESUNG on home soil. The announcement comes as the group continues to tour stadiums across Asia and beyond, celebrating two decades of music that helped reshape the global pop landscape.

For longtime fans, the Los Angeles date carries particular weight. It represents the only U.S. stop on the itinerary, and the first time the trio has performed together in the country since their last full group tour. The venue itself — SoFi Stadium, one of the most recognizable entertainment destinations in the United States — underscores the scale of BIGBANG's enduring appeal. The stadium has hosted major concerts and international sporting events, and now it will welcome one of K-pop's most influential acts for a night of anniversary celebrations.

New Music and Chart Success

The reunion comes with fresh material. On August 19, 2026, BIGBANG released "BiiiG," their first new song in four years. The celebratory track brings together the group's recognizable rap and vocal styles, playful lyricism and energetic production, introducing another chapter in their musical story. The response was immediate: "BiiiG" topped major Korean streaming charts including Melon, Genie, Bugs and VIBE, reaching #1 on Melon's TOP100 within an hour of release.

That chart-topping performance demonstrated the extraordinary anticipation surrounding the group's return and the enthusiasm of listeners who have followed their music across multiple eras. It also reinforced BIGBANG's reputation as a group that can still command attention in a fast-moving industry. The single's success set the stage for the 'XX : COSMOS' World Tour, which has already brought the trio to stadium audiences across Asia.

A Tour of Stadium Proportions

The 'XX : COSMOS' World Tour itinerary includes multiple performances in some of the world's most celebrated concert venues. Stops include Bangkok, Hong Kong, Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo, Fukuoka, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Manila and Kaohsiung. In Hong Kong, the group has scheduled four performances at Kai Tak Stadium, while Japanese fans will have opportunities to see three concerts at Kyocera Dome Osaka and another three at Tokyo Dome. Those extended runs reflect the enormous audiences BIGBANG have developed throughout their career.

The scale of the tour is especially impressive given the group's hiatus. BIGBANG's last full group release was in 2022, and the members have pursued successful solo careers in the interim. G-DRAGON, TAEYANG and DAESUNG have each established individual identities, exploring different musical interests and personalities. Now they are sharing a stage again for the first time since 2017, giving longtime fans an opportunity to celebrate the songs and performances that have accompanied nearly two decades of musical memories.

Two Decades of Influence

BIGBANG debuted in 2006 under YG Entertainment and quickly developed a musical identity that combined hip hop, pop, electronic production and distinctive individual personalities. Their adventurous approach to songwriting, performance and fashion helped establish new possibilities for Korean musicians reaching international audiences. Over the years, songs including "Fantastic Baby," "Bang Bang Bang," "Haru Haru" and "Loser" became favourites among fans around the world, while the group's imaginative music videos and commanding live performances helped introduce millions of listeners to Korean popular music.

Their impact has continued across generations. Artists who followed BIGBANG have drawn inspiration from the group's willingness to experiment with different musical styles, develop distinctive visual identities and pursue creative projects beyond traditional group activities. The group's influence extends beyond music: they were the first Korean artists to be included on the Forbes Celebrity 100 in 2016 and the 30 Under 30 list of most influential musicians in the world in 2017. Forbes Korea ranked them as one of the most powerful celebrities in South Korea from 2009 to 2016, placing 2nd in 2009, 2012 and 2014.

BIGBANG's chart history is equally impressive. Eleven of their singles have reached number one on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart and have collectively remained atop the Melon charts for a record 51 weeks. They have sold over 140 million digital and physical records globally, making them one of the best-selling boy bands in the world. Their 2016 album Made won the group Artist of the Year awards at the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards for the third time and at the 2015 Melon Music Awards, while its supporting Made World Tour attracted 1.5 million people and set a new record for the most-attended concert tour headlined by a Korean act in history at the time.

What This Means for Fans

For American V.I.Ps, the SoFi Stadium show is a rare opportunity. The tour has primarily focused on Asia, with multiple dates in Japan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. The Los Angeles date is the only U.S. stop, and the final scheduled opportunity for American fans to experience the 20th anniversary reunion tour. Presale registration is open through November 8 at 10 p.m. Pacific Time through BIGBANG's official b.stage platform. The V.I.P membership presale begins November 11 at 10 a.m. Pacific, followed by the general public sale on November 13 at 10 a.m. Pacific.

The anniversary celebration carries tremendous significance for a group whose influence reaches far beyond music. BIGBANG helped establish the foundation for K-pop's global expansion through their distinctive sound, international touring success and enduring cultural influence. Their dedicated V.I.P community has remained an essential part of the story, supporting the group's recordings, solo projects and performances throughout the years. The current reunion gives those fans another opportunity to celebrate everything the musicians have accomplished.

With stadium performances continuing into 2027, the anniversary celebration is bringing together audiences across multiple continents. 20 years after their debut, BIGBANG are demonstrating the lasting appeal of music that helped change the international pop landscape. From a chart-topping new single to a worldwide stadium reunion, G-DRAGON, TAEYANG and DAESUNG are giving fans plenty of reasons to celebrate. And with SoFi Stadium now on the schedule, the 'XX : COSMOS' World Tour has another enormous night waiting on the horizon.
