G-Dragon Expands World Tour as BIGBANG Confirms Epic 2026 Coachella Comeback
K-pop king G-Dragon adds more dates to his 'Übermensch' world tour, while legendary group BIGBANG announces a full-group comeback for their 20th anniversary at Coachella 2026.
Just when fans thought the year couldn’t get any more exciting, K-pop icon G-Dragon and legendary group BIGBANG have dropped two massive announcements that have the global music scene buzzing. G-Dragon is extending his highly successful 2025 world tour, “[Übermensch],” with a new series of encore concerts, while BIGBANG is set to make a monumental comeback at Coachella 2026 for their 20th anniversary.
G-Dragon’s “[Übermensch]” Tour: An Encore on a World-Tour Scale
G-Dragon, a name synonymous with pushing creative boundaries, is once again proving his unparalleled status as a world star. On September 19, his agency, Galaxy Corporation, unveiled the fourth plan for his “[Übermensch]” world tour—and it’s not just a few extra dates. This is an encore series with a world-tour-level schedule, a move rarely seen in the industry.
The newly announced dates are:
- Osaka, Japan: October 20-21
- Taipei, Taiwan: November 1-2
- Hanoi, Vietnam: November 8
- Seoul, South Korea: December 12-14
This encore leg kicks off even before the previously announced Taipei shows, starting with two nights in Osaka. The grand finale will be a three-day event in Seoul, bringing the tour back to where it all began and creating a frenzy among Korean fans. This unprecedented encore schedule solidifies G-Dragon’s power as a world-class artist, building immense anticipation for what’s to come.
The term “Übermensch,” German for “superhuman” or “beyond-human,” perfectly captures the theme of G-Dragon’s tour, reflecting his larger-than-life artistic persona and influence on music and fashion over the years.
BIGBANG’s 20th Anniversary Comeback at Coachella 2026
As if G-Dragon’s tour expansion wasn’t enough, V.I.Ps (BIGBANG’s official fandom) received the news they’ve been waiting for. BIGBANG will reunite for a full-group performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2026.
According to the lineup announced on September 16, BIGBANG is scheduled to perform in April 2026, marking the group’s 20th anniversary. This is a comeback of epic proportions for one of K-pop’s most influential groups. Fans will remember that BIGBANG was originally slated to perform at Coachella in 2020, but the event was canceled due to the global pandemic. Now, six years later, the kings are set to finally take their rightful place on the iconic Coachella stage.
This performance is more than just a festival appearance; it’s a celebration of two decades of music, innovation, and cultural impact. For new and old fans alike, seeing G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung together again is a testament to their enduring legacy.
The combination of G-Dragon’s solo dominance and BIGBANG’s historic reunion makes this a landmark moment for K-pop. The world is watching, and both G-Dragon and BIGBANG are ready to prove why they remain legends in the game.
