BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS > IN KAOHSIUNG
After years of anticipation, BIGBANG is bringing their massive 2026-2027 World Tour < XX : COSMOS > to Taiwan. The group will touch down at Kaohsiung’s iconic National Stadium for two consecutive evenings, offering fans a rare chance to see one of K-pop’s most influential acts in a live setting.
Performance Schedule
| Date | Doors / Start |
|---|---|
| February 27, 2027 (Sat) | 18:30 |
| February 28, 2027 (Sun) | 18:30 |
Performance Venue: Kaohsiung National Stadium
Both shows start at 18:30, so plan to arrive early. The venue, also known as the Main Stadium of the 2009 World Games, is one of the largest sporting and entertainment arenas in Taiwan, with a capacity of over 55,000. Expect a full-scale production built to fill that space – the < XX : COSMOS > tour has been designed around a cosmic theme, with elaborate staging and visuals that match BIGBANG’s signature blend of hip-hop, electronic, and anthemic pop.
Ticket Purchase Details
Tickets will be released in two phases:
- ☆CTBC Cardholder Priority Purchase: September 18, 2026 (Fri) 10:00 – 23:59 (TST)
- ☆General Sale: September 22, 2026 (Tue) 10:00 (TST)
The priority purchase window is exclusively for CTBC cardholders, running from 10:00 AM to 11:59 PM on that day. If you hold a CTBC credit or debit card, this is your best chance to secure tickets before the general public. General sale opens at 10:00 AM on September 22, and given the scale of BIGBANG’s fanbase in Taiwan, expect high demand. Make sure your ticketing account is ready and your payment details are pre-filled to avoid delays during checkout.
Plan Your Trip
If you’re traveling from outside Kaohsiung, you’ll want to sort out accommodation well in advance. The National Stadium is located in the Zuoying District, easily accessible via the Kaohsiung MRT (R17 Ecological District Station) and adjacent to the THSR’s Zuoying Station for high-speed rail connections from Taipei and other major cities.
Booking early is strongly recommended, especially since many attendees will be staying for both shows. The area around the stadium offers a mix of budget-friendly hostels, mid-range hotels, and upscale options, but availability will shrink quickly as the concert dates approach.
Whether you’re a longtime VIP or a newer fan discovering BIGBANG’s catalog, these two evenings in Kaohsiung promise to be a defining moment of the tour. Mark your calendar for the priority purchase date, and don’t miss the general sale if you can’t get in early.
A bit about BIGBANG
BIGBANG is not just a boy band; they are a cultural phenomenon widely credited with reshaping the landscape of K-pop and pioneering the global Hallyu wave. Debuting in 2006 under YG Entertainment, the quintet—comprising G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri—shattered the polished, factory-made idol mold by introducing a raw, hip-hop-infused artistry that was self-produced and fiercely individualistic. Led by the genius-level creative direction of G-Dragon, their discography evolved from early electro-pop hits like “Haru Haru” and “Lies” into a genre-defying arsenal of global anthems, most notably the psychedelic banger “Fantastic Baby” and the melancholic masterpiece “Loser.” Renowned for their trendsetting fashion, explosive live performances, and an unmatched ability to dominate charts with experimental sounds, BIGBANG earned the moniker “Kings of K-pop.” Their influence extends far beyond music, having defined an entire generation’s aesthetic and cemented a legacy of artistic autonomy that laid the blueprint for the modern, self-sufficient idol group.
