Last Updated on August 29, 2026 by Franchelle Aguhob
After nearly a decade away from the world stage as a group, BIGBANG is heading back to Manila.
G-DRAGON, TAEYANG, and DAESUNG will bring the BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS > to the SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque City on February 20, 2027 (Saturday).
The Manila stop will be part of the trio’s 20th anniversary celebration, giving Filipino V.I.Ps a chance to see the group perform together again.
The tour will span 33 shows across major venues worldwide, marking BIGBANG’s first world tour as a three-member group in nine years.
A Major Return for V.I.Ps
BIGBANG’s tour carries extra weight because 2026 celebrates 20 years since the group began their music journey. Over those two decades, the group became one of the major acts that helped push K-pop toward a global audience.
For Filipino fans, the Manila concert comes after a long wait. The upcoming performance brings G-DRAGON, TAEYANG, and DAESUNG back as a group, with the three members set to lead the new era of BIGBANG together.
The group’s familiar concert style can be expected, including powerful performances, energetic choreography, and crowd sing-alongs featuring their well-known tracks.
“2026 marks the band’s 20th anniversary, a monumental milestone and cultural moment for BIGBANG and their fans — the V.I.P,” the announcement said.

Manila will be one of the later stops, as it will begin at the Taipei Dome before moving to Singapore, Hanoi, and Bangkok. The 2027 leg will then continue through Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta before arriving at the SMDC Festival Grounds. The Asia run will wrap up at Kaohsiung National Stadium.
