BIGBANG left a lasting impression during their U.S. tour, showcasing their unique presence.
YG Entertainment reported that BIGBANG held their BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR XX: COSMOS IN EAST RUTHERFORD concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on September 11.
Following successful shows in Oakland on September 4 and 5, the New Jersey performance marked a triumphant conclusion to BIGBANG’s North American leg of their global tour.
MetLife Stadium, one of America’s largest venues, has hosted global superstars like Taylor Swift and Coldplay. BIGBANG demonstrated their robust stateside appeal by selling out this massive stadium.
The group kicked off the show with a bang, literally, as fireworks lit up the sky. They opened with their hit “FANTASTIC BABY,” exuding an unmatched stage presence. The energy continued to soar as they performed “HANDS UP,” “TONIGHT,” “BLUE,” “LOSER,” and “IF YOU,” electrifying the crowd from start to finish.
BIGBANG’s seasoned live performance skills, coupled with YG’s signature high-production values, created an unforgettable spectacle. Cutting-edge graphics on giant light-emitting diode (LED) screens, perfectly timed pyrotechnics, and laser effects brought their music to life in a visually stunning way, amplifying the concert’s already electric atmosphere.
With their North American shows wrapped up, BIGBANG is set to take Europe by storm. They’re scheduled to perform in Paris on September 19 and London on September 26. Responding to overwhelming fan demand, they’ve added shows in Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok, and other cities, totaling 36 performances across 19 global locations.
This year marks BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary since their August 2006 debut. Over two decades, they’ve churned out a string of chart-toppers including “Haru Haru,” “FANTASTIC BABY,” “BANG BANG BANG,” “Lies,” “Last Dance,” and “Final Farewell,” cementing their status as icons of K-pop’s second generation.
