BIGBANG returned to London on September 26, 2026 — the first time the group had played a headline show in the city since 2012. YG Entertainment said as much three days later, on Tuesday, September 29.
BIGBANG played London for the first time in 14 years — here's what happened
BIGBANG performed at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Saturday, September 26, 2026, its first solo concert in the British capital in what YG Entertainment described as "nearly 14 years," the last having been in 2012 . SBS puts the gap more precisely at 13 years and 9 months . The stadium's official site lists its capacity as 62,850 , and the event's official Tottenham Hotspur Stadium page also listed a separate VIP Experiences package for the date . The set opened with "Fantastic Baby" and included "Haru Haru" and "Lies" .
Quick Answer: BIGBANG played Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 26, 2026 — its first solo London show since 2012, a gap SBS measures at 13 years and 9 months. The date belongs to the "2026-2027 WORLD TOUR 〈XX : COSMOS〉," the trio's first full world tour since 2017.
The show is part of the "2026-2027 WORLD TOUR 〈XX : COSMOS〉," marking the group's 20th debut anniversary. It is BIGBANG's first full-scale world tour since the Last Dance Tour closed in 2017 and its first as a three-member act — G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung, per YG Entertainment as relayed by Yonhap and The Korea Times. Onstage the three thanked fans, saying that reaching the anniversary "feels like a miracle" .
"Reaching our 20th anniversary feels like a miracle. It would have been impossible without your love and support," the members told the crowd (source: SBS, 2026-09).
London closed out the European leg. According to SBS, the tour next resumes with three nights at Taipei Dome from October 9, 2026 .
What BIGBANG played: the London setlist
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium set opened with "Fantastic Baby" and worked through the group's catalogue including "Haru Haru" and "Lies," according to YG Entertainment as relayed by The Korea Times . Reviewing the London date, NME published a 32-song setlist — the fullest public account of what the "XX: COSMOS" show actually contains .
Per NME's list, the early run moved from "Fantastic Baby" into "Hands Up," "Tonight," "Loser," "Bae Bae," "Bang Bang Bang" and "Crayon" before breaking into solo segments :
- Taeyang — "Ringa Linga"
- G-Dragon — "Power" and "Crooked"
- Daesung — "Look At Me, Gwisun"
The set was not purely retrospective. It included "BiiiG," the single the group released in August 2026, placing new material alongside the 2012-era songs that London audiences last heard live in person from BIGBANG that year .
The closer was "Still Life," and how it was performed is the detail fans have focused on. NME reports the version played in London keeps T.O.P's original recorded verse, used as a tribute to the members who are no longer part of the line-up . BIGBANG is touring as a three-piece — G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung, per the tour's documented line-up and The Korea Times — so the retained verse is the one point in the night where the original four-member recording is heard as released.
Speaking to the crowd during the show, Daesung said, "We're gonna sing for you guys forever. I swear," while G-Dragon told the audience, "I've been trying to figure out my masterplan to bring our golden days back," both quoted by NME .
Why this show matters: 20 years, three members, one 'miracle'
The London date carried weight because it marked BIGBANG's 20th debut anniversary as a three-member act, and the members framed it that way onstage. Taeyang told the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium crowd, "Reaching our 20th anniversary is like a miracle to me," as quoted by NME . The group debuted in 2006 and now tours as G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung, per The Korea Times .
"Reaching our 20th anniversary feels like a miracle. It would have been impossible without your love and support" and "Thanks to V.I.P, we are able to stand here just as we always dreamed." — BIGBANG, onstage remarks reported by SBS
"V.I.P" is BIGBANG's official fandom name, used by the group since its debut era, and the thanks were addressed directly to that audience, according to SBS .
The second reason the date stands out is structural. London closes the tour's European run for now. The Korea Times, relaying Yonhap and YG Entertainment, reports the tour opened in South Korea last month and runs through February next year across North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia . The opener was staged at Goyang Stadium in August 2026 .
The itinerary has also grown since it was first published. Variety reported the June 10, 2026 announcement as a 31-show run across 18 cities with AEG Presents . SBS now describes the tour as 39 shows in 19 cities , a figure matched by the tour's Wikipedia entry, which lists 39 concerts between August 21, 2026 and February 28, 2027 . That is eight added dates and one added city in roughly three and a half months.
XX: COSMOS tour dates: where BIGBANG goes next
With London done, BIGBANG's European leg is closed and the tour now moves to Asia and Oceania before finishing in Taiwan in 2027. SBS reports that the next stop is three nights at Taipei Dome from October 9 , and the tour's Wikipedia entry lists the run closing at Kaohsiung National Stadium on February 27–28, 2027 . Between those two points sit Southeast Asian stadiums, an Australian date and a four-city Japan dome leg.
Confirmed remaining stops include Singapore National Stadium, Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi, Accor Stadium in Sydney, Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok and Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong . Hong Kong added a fourth night on November 17 after the first three sold through, with Trip.com and Klook presales and a general sale on HK Ticketing opening September 29 .
The Japan leg is the densest stretch. YGEX's official Japan page confirms doors at 15:00–16:00 with 17:00 or 18:00 starts across all four domes .
| Venue | City | Dates |
|---|---|---|
| Taipei Dome | Taipei | Oct 9–11, 2026 |
| Kai Tak Stadium | Hong Kong | Nov 17 added (4 shows total) |
| Kyocera Dome | Osaka | Nov 27–29, 2026 |
| Vantelin Dome | Nagoya | Dec 5–6, 2026 |
| Tokyo Dome | Tokyo | Dec 13–15, 2026 |
| Mizuho PayPay Dome | Fukuoka | Dec 26–27, 2026 |
| Kaohsiung National Stadium | Kaohsiung | Feb 27–28, 2027 |
Dates for Singapore, Hanoi, Sydney and Bangkok are listed on the tour itinerary without the day-level confirmation the Japan and Taiwan legs carry . Per The Korea Times, relaying Yonhap and YG Entertainment, the tour runs through February next year across North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia — so fans tracking a nearby date should expect further additions rather than a fixed final list.
Goyang opener by the numbers: what the Korea leg showed about demand
The Korea leg gives the clearest hard read on demand for the XX: COSMOS run. The three nights at Goyang Stadium on August 21–23, 2026 drew 110,000 attendees and grossed $14,577,844, according to Wikipedia's tour page . That is the only box-office figure published for any stop on the tour so far, which makes it the reference point for reading the stadium-scale bookings that followed in Oakland, New Jersey, Paris and London.
Announced seat prices for Goyang, VAT included, ran from Standing VIP at KRW 275,000 and Floor R at KRW 253,000 down to R at KRW 242,000, Floor S at KRW 231,000, S at KRW 198,000 and A at KRW 154,000, with 19:30 starts on August 21–22 and 19:00 on August 23 . The opener was presented by Coupang Play, which handled domestic sales, while global buyers went through NOL World .
For overseas fans, NOL World also sold a "Play&Stay" ticket-plus-hotel product pairing the show with partner properties including Lotte Hotel Seoul (renamed THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL from August 14, 2026), Mayfield Hotel Seoul, Ryse, Novotel and Ibis Styles Yongsan, Kensington, Hotel Kukdo, Swiss Grand, Skypark, Nine Tree and Hotel Marina Bay Seoul, with a purchaser-only concert-day round-trip shuttle limited to Mayfield, Hotel Marina Bay Seoul and Ramada Encore Gimpo Han River, and ticket pickup at an in-hotel desk between 9AM and 12PM with transfers and proxy collection prohibited . Package rates were not published on the public page and appeared only at the booking step .
One Taiwanese fan who flew in for Goyang put a two-person, two-night package with two tickets at roughly NT$32,000–34,000 in total, plus an NT$8,700 round-trip Korean Air fare, a lobby shuttle leaving around 12:40 p.m. on show day, and about a 90-minute indoor merch queue for light sticks (video: Flora Ho). Those are one traveller's numbers, not figures published by YG Entertainment or NOL World — but they are the closest available guide to what the hotel-plus-ticket route actually costs.
The takeaway for anyone planning a later date: Goyang showed that BIGBANG can move 110,000 seats in three nights at stadium prices topping KRW 275,000, and the tour has already grown from the 31 shows in 18 cities announced on June 10, 2026 to 39 shows in 19 cities . Budget for presale windows and added nights rather than a single on-sale date.
