London Waited 13 Years for BIGBANG, Then Came "FANTASTIC BABY"

K-pop group BIGBANG performed in London on Sept. 26, returning to the city for its first solo show there in about 13 years and nine months.

The concert, titled "BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS > IN LONDON," took place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It followed the group's Sept. 19 performance at Stade de France as part of the European leg of its world tour.

BIGBANG opened with "FANTASTIC BABY" before performing hits including "TONIGHT," "LOSER," "HARU HARU" and "LIES." Each member also took the stage for a solo performance. A live band accompanied the group throughout the show.

Near the end of the concert, the members reflected on BIGBANG's 20th anniversary. "It feels like a miracle that BIGBANG has reached its 20th anniversary. None of this would have been possible without your love and support," they said. "Thanks to our fans, we get to stand here as the artists we always dreamed of being. We truly love and thank you."

After shows in Goyang, North America and Europe, BIGBANG will begin the Asian leg of its tour with three concerts at Taipei Dome from Oct. 9 to 11. According to the group's agency, all three shows sold out, including the additional seats released. The tour is scheduled to span 39 shows in 19 cities, with added dates in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta.
