For the first time in over a decade, BIGBANG is coming to North America.
After 11 years away due to military service, the Burning Sun scandal, solo careers and game show hosting stints, the beloved K-Pop group is reuniting for their first headlining run in the U.S. since 2015’s ‘Made World Tour.’
This time around, Taeyang, Daesung and G-Dragon are playing just two (!) shows in North America. They’re set to take place at:

Ahead of this brief outing, the three — without former members T.O.P. and Seungri — surprised their fans VIPs and performed at both weekends of Coachella this spring.
Each show saw them bring 16 songs to the stage, according to Set List FM. Notable tracks to make the cut include “Bang Bang Bang,” “Fantastic Baby” and “Loser” along with fan favorites from G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung solo catalogs.
What was most notable about the performance though were the authentic touches they added to their stage show.
“One standout moment was Daesung’s choice to perform songs in the traditional ‘trot’ style, rarely seen on global stages,” Spartan Shield reported.
“The Coachella crowd responded with enthusiasm, turning the set into a lively, festival-like celebration… despite past controversies, the large crowds that stayed for their closing sets both weekends demonstrated that a group with lasting influence and passion can still captivate audiences.”
We can’t wait to see what they take to the stage come September.

Based on our findings at Set List FM, here’s what BIGBANG performed at their first of two Coachella shows on April 12, 2026:
12.) “Look at Me, Gwisun” (DAESUNG song)
13.) “HOME SWEET HOME” (G-DRAGON song)

In 2019, a number of celebrities and K-Pop group members were accused of alleged sexual assault, date rape, prostitution, drug trafficking and police corruption at Burning Sun, a Seoul night club.
The only BIGBANG player that was involved was former member Seungri who was one of the club directors. He retired from the industry in March 2019 after he was charged with sexual bribery.
Outside of the trio’s solo work, the last song they released was “Still Life” in 2022.
Clocking in at a hair over three minutes, the track starts on a sentimental note in Korean before exploding into full-throated ballad territory halfway in and ultimately sticking the landing with an emphatic “la la la” singalong to close the tune.
It’s not exactly high-octane like “BANG BANG BANG” but gets the job done.
While BIGBANG only has two shows scheduled this year, many iconic K-Pop acts have much longer runs planned these next few months.
Here are just six of our favorites you won’t want to miss live.
Also, make sure to check out LISA’s ‘Viva La Lisa’ Las Vegas residency, which goes down this November at Caesars Palace. We have a feeling she has something special planned.
