The four Japanese dome cities (Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo and Fukuoka), staged November 27 to December 27, 2026, fall inside this arc and are detailed in the next section. One caveat for fans planning travel: the non-Japan stops are drawn from the official YG tour page and Billboard and Variety reporting rather than from multiple independently cross-checked official sources . Per-city venue blocks on the official pages still read "COMING SOON" as of June 22, 2026, so dates and on-sale details for individual cities should be confirmed on the official sale pages before booking .
Japan dome leg: 10 shows, official start times
The Japan dome leg is the most firmly verified segment of the tour: 10 concerts across four cities, running from November 27 to December 27, 2026 . Unlike the wider route, these dates are confirmed on both the official BIGBANG 20th anniversary site (ygex.jp) and a V.I.P (JP) fanclub notice dated June 11, 2026 .
The schedule by venue is as follows :
- Kyocera Dome Osaka: November 27, 28 and 29, 2026
- Vantelin Dome Nagoya: December 5 and 6, 2026
- Tokyo Dome: December 13, 14 and 15, 2026
- Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka: December 26 and 27, 2026
Start times are published per show on ygex.jp. The earliest concert is Osaka on November 27, with doors at 16:00 and the show at 18:00; the latest is Fukuoka on December 27, with doors at 13:00 and the show at 15:00 . Times shift earlier across each city's multi-night run, so fans should check the exact door and start time for their specific date.
For early ticket access, the V.I.P (JP) fanclub advance-reservation lottery is the primary route. The fanclub reopened for the anniversary; paid membership costs ¥5,200 including tax (plus a separate ¥300 fee) and is valid through August 31, 2027 . The fanclub notes that the advance-reservation benefit is allocated by lottery and does not guarantee a ticket, with final availability set by local promoters .
