BIGBANG proves they’re still a force to be reckoned with in K-pop.
The third night of BIGBANG’s 2026-2027 World Tour XX: Cosmos in Goyang electrified fans at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium on August 23.
XX: Cosmos marks BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary, showcasing their evolution through two decades of chart-toppers, solo spotlights, and their latest hit “BiiiG”.
Over their 20-year reign, BIGBANG has become synonymous with K-pop excellence. They’ve dominated charts, shaped trends, and cemented their status as industry legends throughout the 2010s.
However, BIGBANG’s journey hasn’t been without its hurdles. The departure of T.O.P and Seungri left the group as a trio, with sporadic full-group activities. During this time, G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung focused on solo projects before reuniting for ‘BiiiG’ after a four-year and four-month hiatus.
For fans starved of OT3 content, this concert was like an oasis in the desert. BIGBANG didn’t disappoint, delivering a high-octane performance that was worth the wait.
The show kicked off with the explosive “FANTASTIC BABY”. Fans’ voices soared in unison, their light sticks painting the arena in a sea of pulsating colors.
BIGBANG kept the energy sky-high, blazing through hits like “HANDS UP”, “TONIGHT”, “BLUE”, “LOSER”, “IF YOU”, “BAD BOY”, and “BAE BAE”.
The solo stages were just as electrifying. Daesung wowed with “UNIVERSE”, “Wings”, “HANDO-CHOGUA”, and “Look at Me, Gwisun”. Taeyang set the stage ablaze with “BAD”, “RINGA LINGA”, and “LIVE FAST DIE SLOW”. G-Dragon brought his signature swag to “POWER”, “Crayon”, and “CROOKED”.
The long-awaited performance of their comeback track “BiiiG” was a highlight. The encore was a nostalgic trip through BIGBANG’s discography, featuring “HEAVEN”, “Sunset Glow”, “LAST FAREWELL”, “FEELING”, “FLOWER ROAD”, and “STILL LIFE” – a whopping 2.5-hour musical feast.
This concert, BIGBANG’s first full-group show in 8 years and 8 months, proved they’re not just resting on their legendary status. They’re actively evolving, leaving fans eager to see what the next two decades hold for this powerhouse trio.
The XX: Cosmos tour, which kicked off on August 21, is set to take BIGBANG across 19 cities for 33 shows, promising more unforgettable nights for fans worldwide.
