Group BIGBANG once again demonstrated its powerful global presence by selling out every seat, including restricted-view sections, at a massive U.S. stadium.

On the 11th (local time), BIGBANG held "BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR <XX: COSMOS > IN EAST RUTHERFORD" at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Following successful performances in Oakland on the 4th and 5th, the group successfully concluded its North American leg—the starting point of its global tour—with this New Jersey concert.

MetLife Stadium is one of the largest venues in the United States, having hosted world-renowned musicians such as Taylor Swift and Coldplay. By filling every seat at this massive stadium, BIGBANG showcased its solid local influence. Notably, this North American leg holds special significance as it marks their first solo tour since "BIGBANG 2015 WORLD TOUR [MADE]" in 2015—11 years later.

As a highly anticipated solo concert finally realized after a long wait, the enthusiasm of local fans was hotter than ever. Making their entrance amid dazzling fireworks, BIGBANG radiated an unparalleled aura and energetically kicked off the show with "FANTASTIC BABY." They then unleashed explosive energy without pause through "HANDS UP," "TONIGHT," "BLUE," "LOSER," and "IF YOU," instantly raising the temperature of the venue.

Solo stages, allowing fans to savor each member's unique charm, delivered ever-changing entertainment. Daesung captivated the audience with an emotional stage and a trot song infused with his signature wit, leaving no room for eyes to look away. Taeyang etched a powerful presence into the crowd with his groove-filled, one-of-a-kind performance. G-Dragon instantly dominated the atmosphere with his hip-hop swagger and unmatchable charisma.

The overwhelming live performances honed over the years and YG's signature high-quality production design worked in perfect synergy. Sensational graphics and VCRs displayed on a massive LED screen, along with strategically deployed pyrotechnics, lasers, and other special effects, dynamically realized their musical world and maximized audience immersion.

Notably, although most of the songs performed that day were in Korean, the audience responded with enthusiastic sing-alongs and cheers. The members stated, "What is most precious to us is the love you have given us. We are grateful for your love and support over these 20 years. It feels like a dream to be performing at a stadium after such a long period of activity."

Having successfully concluded their North American tour, BIGBANG will carry the momentum of their world tour to Europe. They are set to head to Paris on the 19th and London on the 26th (local time), respectively. Following this, bolstered by explosive fan support, they have confirmed additional dates across a total of 19 cities and 36 shows worldwide, including Taipei, Singapore, and Bangkok, where they will meet fans globally.
