BigBang used its Coachella set to confirm that a world tour is on the way, tying the run to the group’s 20th anniversary celebration in 2026. The announcement came as Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daesung closed out their performance at the festival’s Outdoor stage on Sunday night.
The group framed the appearance as the start of a new chapter rather than a simple return, with Daesung calling the moment a “reset” for BigBang. G-Dragon then told the crowd that the anniversary tour would begin later this year, with only limited details shared so far.
A Coachella set built around legacy and familiar hits
BigBang’s performance placed its best-known songs at the center of the set. The group opened with “Bang Bang Bang” and “Fantastic Baby,” two tracks that helped define its global profile and still drew a strong reaction from the festival crowd.
The set also mixed group material with solo stages from each member, giving the performance a broader showcase of their individual identities. Taeyang and G-Dragon reunited for “Good Boy,” while Daesung brought trot to the Coachella stage as part of the evening’s mix of styles.
“Still Life” closed the night
After the tour tease, the trio ended the set with “Still Life,” giving the performance a reflective close. G-Dragon urged fans to “Do not miss out, and stay tuned,” signaling that more information will follow as the tour plans move forward.
One notable addition came with “Bae Bae,” which BigBang performed at Coachella’s weekend two set. The song had not been performed at the festival in nearly a decade, adding another point of interest for fans who followed the group’s return to the stage.
What is known about the tour so far
Very little has been confirmed beyond the promise that the tour is set to begin in August. G-Dragon did not specify a launch city, but major K-pop tours often start in Seoul or a nearby city in South Korea, making that a likely possibility for BigBang as well.
The announcement placed BigBang among the final acts of the desert festival, following Karol G’s headlining set on the main stage. More details about the anniversary tour are expected later, but the Coachella appearance already made clear that the group is preparing a major milestone run.
