## Who is on stage

The tour is performed by G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung. BIGBANG debuted as a five-member group in 2006; The Straits Times wrote that T.O.P left in 2023.

T.O.P is not part of the anniversary activities. Citing Taiwan's TVBS, Star News reported on Sept 15 that T.O.P told a fan meeting in Japan he would not join the trio's 20th-anniversary activities and would focus on solo work, saying that although he could not share the stage with them, he would support them from behind. [3,15,19]

## Schedule and scale: from 31 to 39 shows

The June 11 announcement listed 31 shows in 18 cities. On July 15 YG released the tour title and poster and added Manila, making 33 shows in 19 cities. Dates were then added as shows sold out: Oakland (Sept 5 → Sept 4–5), Taipei (Oct 10–11 → Oct 9–11), Singapore (Oct 17 → Oct 17–18), Bangkok (Nov 7 → Nov 7–8), Hong Kong (Nov 13–15 plus Nov 17), Kuala Lumpur (Jan 9 → Jan 9–10) and Jakarta (Jan 16 → Jan 16–17). Since late September, YG-sourced reports say 39 shows in 19 cities, and counting the dates on YG's official tour page gives 39.

The figures differ by date of report: Bandwagon wrote '17-city, 33-show' on July 29, Star News '19 cities and 36 shows' on Sept 15, and The Straits Times '19-city tour'.

Venues are stadiums and domes, including Goyang Stadium, MetLife Stadium, Stade de France, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Tokyo Dome. The Korean shows are the three in Goyang in August; as of Oct 20 YG's tour page lists no other Korean date. [1,3,4,6,7,12,14,16,17,18,19]

## Shows so far and sell-out status (as of Oct 20)

Goyang (Aug 21–23): Coupang Play said tickets sold out in seven minutes with 210,000 in the queue, and The Korea Herald reported more than 100,000 over three days. On stage the members hinted at more music after 'BiiiG'.

North America (Sept 4, 5, 11): two shows in Oakland and one at MetLife. YG said MetLife sold out including restricted-view seats. These were the group's first US solo concerts since the 2015 MADE tour.

Europe (Sept 19, 26): Stade de France, Paris, and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London. Attendance does not appear in the reports we checked; YG's tour page marks both 'SOLD OUT'.

Taipei (Oct 9–11): YG's side said the shows sold out including added seats, with about 100,000 attending.

Singapore (Oct 17–18): The Straits Times reported both shows sold out. Haze worsened during concert week, and promoter AEG Presents Asia issued an advisory. According to AsiaOne's review of Oct 17, the show ran about three hours in three acts — BIGBANG, solo and COSMOS. We did not find a report on the Oct 18 show.

Most attendance figures come from YG's side; we found no gross figures such as Billboard Boxscore data. [1,6,10,11,12,14,16,17,18,19,20,21]

## Organizers and promoters

YG Entertainment announced the tour and produces the shows. Pollstar wrote that the tour is promoted by AEG Presents. AEG Presents Asia promotes Singapore in partnership with YG, and Frontier Touring stages Sydney with Destination NSW. Coupang Play handled ticketing for the Goyang shows. Ticket information is released through BIGBANG's official b.stage platform and regional promoters. [1,2,6,7,8,12,20]
