BIGBANG SETS EYES ON GLOBAL TOUR TO CELEBRATE 20TH ANNIVERSARY; COCHELLA PERFORMANCE IN APRIL LIKELY

BIGBANG, recognized as a “second-generation legend top-tier group,” is preparing for a spectacular return to global stages to mark its 20th anniversary of Debut. Expectations among fans are rising as YG Entertainment provides full support for this comeback.

YG Entertainment released “2026 YG PLAN | YG ANNOUNCEMENT” through its official blog on the 4th. Executive Producer Yang Hyun-suk stated in an interview that an agreement has been reached with BIGBANG members to hold a concert, emphasizing both the celebration of BIGBANG’s 20-year musical journey and the strong partnership between YG and the group. Yang Hyun-suk added, “Since we have worked together for so long, I believe there will be no difficulties,” and assured that all YG staff will do their utmost to create a perfect and outstanding performance.

YG has already formed an internal task force dedicated to BIGBANG’s Comeback, mobilizing all available resources. Certain departments, including the publicity team, are kept completely informed about updates, with all schedules maintained in strict secrecy.

BIGBANG’s likely comeback timing is around April 2026, coinciding with its performance at “Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival,” the largest music festival in the United States. The group plans to use this Coachella stage to deliver a global performance that summarizes its 20-year musical career, marking a legendary Comeback that will excite music fans worldwide. BIGBANG was previously included in the Coachella lineup as a four-member group including Taeyang in 2020, but the event was canceled due to the impact of COVID-19.

BIGBANG’s comeback lineup will consist of G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung. Meanwhile, Taeyang, who was the senior member of BIGBANG, left the group in 2023 and is currently preparing for solo activities under his own label. Taeyang announced his new album this year through his social media, stating, “A NEW ALBUM IS ON THE WAY. TOP SPOT – 다중관점 [ANOTHER DIMENSION].”

Nana, an actress formerly part of After School, will support Taeyang with the music video for his new song. Taeyang last pursued solo activities in 2013 with “Doom Dada” during BIGBANG’s career, and after BIGBANG’s “Spring Summer Fall Winter” in April 2022, he temporarily halted his singing career. This marks his return as a solo artist after 13 years.
