Boy group BIGBANG has grandly kicked off the Asian leg of their world tour.

From the 9th to the 11th, BIGBANG held 'BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS > IN TAIPEI' at Taipei Dome in Taiwan over three days, connecting with approximately 100,000 audience members. This is their first solo concert in the region in about 10 years since 2016.

The area around Taipei Dome, the largest venue locally, was packed with fans who had been eagerly anticipating a reunion with BIGBANG. Even before the show began, landmarks such as ultra-high-rise buildings, parks, and subway stations across the city center were awash in BIGBANG-themed decorations, and fans lined up for long stretches at nearby pop-up stores to purchase official merchandise, creating a true festival atmosphere. It once again demonstrated the irreplaceable presence of BIGBANG, who have set milestones in global K-pop.

BIGBANG, appearing amidst roaring cheers, instantly brought the on-site energy to its peak with 'FANTASTIC BABY.' They then unleashed a non-stop barrage of mega hit songs that encapsulated their musical identity over the past 20 years, including 'LOSER,' 'Day by Day,' 'Lies,' and 'BANG BANG BANG,' turning the audience into a cauldron of excitement. Solo stages highlighting each member's distinctive performance style and broad spectrum were equally captivating, leaving viewers unable to look away for even a moment.

Above all, the members' unique charisma and stage mannerisms allowed audiences to feel the true essence of a 'K-pop legend group' at every moment. Fans spanning generations swayed together in response to the explosive energy that filled the large dome, while YG's high-quality production—grand yet sophisticated—combined with diverse special effects and live band sound to elevate the overall quality of the concert.

The members, who kept the audience heated throughout the performance, shared their overflowing sentiments: "We are happy to celebrate BIGBANG's 20th anniversary together with V.I.P (fanbase name). We do not take any of this for granted." They added, "Thanks to your passionate love and support, we have been able to reach this point today. We will do our best to repay that sentiment in the future as well. Thank you sincerely."

Having opened their tour in Goyang and proceeded through North America and Europe before entering the Asian leg in Taipei, BIGBANG will head to Singapore National Stadium on the 17th and 18th. Following this, they plan to connect with fans worldwide across a total of 19 cities and 39 shows, including Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, and Jakarta, where additional performance dates have been added.
