BIGBANG took to the Outdoor Theatre at the ongoing Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, on the 12th (local time), delivering a stunning 67-minute performance. Composed of G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung, this show brought to life the plans that were canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, six years later.

As the stage opened with the intense sound of a live band and the intro to “BANG BANG BANG,” cheers from the audience erupted instantly. Taeyang ignited enthusiasm among fans with “Ringa Linga,” followed by G-Dragon continuing the set with “Power” from his recent solo album. Popular tracks such as “Fantastic Baby” were accompanied by perfect chorus performances from the crowd.

G-Dragon expressed his feelings on stage by saying, “It took us a long time to get here.” Meanwhile, BIGBANG officially announced that 2026 will mark the group’s 20th anniversary since their debut. One insider stated, “BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary in 2026 has just begun.”

BIGBANG’s return, having led K-pop in the 2010s, is a significant event in the music industry. Their appearance at Coachella attracted intense attention from music fans worldwide, serving as further proof of the global influence of these K-pop legends. The group’s musical style and stage performances met the high expectations of their global fanbase built up since their debut in 2010.

BIGBANG is set to perform again on the second day of Coachella on the 19th. This resumption of activities reflects the internationalization trend of the K-pop market and positions them as iconic figures in the recovery of global music festivals following the pandemic.
