Big Bang, celebrating their 20th anniversary, is set to offer an additional pre-sale for their highly anticipated solo concert.

This exclusive pre-sale is open only to V.I.P members who have completed their membership verification beforehand.

The initial three shows sold out in record time, underscoring the immense popularity of the group. With this being Big Bang’s first solo concert in over nine years and the launch of their 20th-anniversary world tour, the additional pre-sale is expected to generate significant buzz among fans.

The world tour will kick off at the Goyang Sports Complex from August 21 to 23, before the group embarks on a journey across North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia, gracing some of the world’s most prestigious stadiums and domes.

In response to overwhelming fan demand, an extra show in Oakland, California has been added to the lineup. This expansion brings the tour to an impressive 18 cities with 32 performances. Further additions to the tour schedule will be revealed in due course.

Big Bang, who debuted in August 2006, marks their 20th anniversary this year. Over two decades, they’ve dominated the K-pop scene with chart-topping hits like “Haru Haru,” “Fantastic Baby,” “Bang Bang Bang,” “Lies,” “Last Dance,” and “Last Farewell,” cementing their status as icons of the second-generation idol wave.

The group’s recent activities include a show-stopping performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April, where they received an enthusiastic reception, proving their enduring global appeal.
