BIGBANG Makes History in Sydney: "We're Finally Back"

K-pop group BIGBANG made history in Australia. On Oct. 31, it became the first K-pop group to hold a solo concert at Accor Stadium in Sydney.

The concert was held as part of "BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS > IN SYDNEY." Accor Stadium has hosted global stars such as Taylor Swift and Coldplay. It was also BIGBANG's first solo concert in Sydney since 2015, marking its return to the city after 11 years.

The group opened the concert with "FANTASTIC BABY," "HANDS UP" and "TONIGHT," delivering powerful performances from the start. It then performed signature hits including "LOSER," "Haru Haru," "Lies" and "BANG BANG BANG," drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

The setlist brought together the group's past hits and newer music. Solo stages highlighted each member's individual style, while the group also performed its new song "BiiiG." A live band accompanied the performances, along with synchronized choreography from the dancers. Special effects and fireworks added to the stage production.

Fans sang along and cheered throughout the concert. Toward the end of the show, BIGBANG thanked its fans.

"BIGBANG is finally back," the group said. "Thanks to V.I.P, our 20th anniversary was possible. We hope this moment is the start of much more time together. We'll keep making you happy."

Following the Sydney concert, BIGBANG will continue its world tour in Asia. The group is scheduled to perform at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Nov. 7 and 8. An additional show was scheduled in Bangkok due to strong fan demand.

In all, BIGBANG plans to perform 39 shows in 19 cities across North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia.
