BIGBANG's 20th-anniversary world tour was supposed to take its final bow in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Now the last night belongs to Inglewood.

The K-pop group booked a single night at SoFi Stadium for Saturday, March 13, 2027, and it'll be the run's closing date, Billboard reported Thursday. When the 31-date stadium tour was announced in June, it was set to wrap with two nights at Kaohsiung National Stadium on Feb. 27 and 28, TicketNews reported. The L.A. date pushes the ending back by nearly two weeks.

Before SoFi joined the schedule, the tour's only California shows were two September nights at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. The trio also played Coachella earlier this year, before the tour got going, according to TicketNews.

And yes, it's a trio now. BIGBANG last toured in 2017, when four members played the Last Dance Tour in Japan and Seoul while T.O.P was away doing South Korea's mandatory military service. Seungri quit show business in March 2019, and T.O.P exited in May 2023. That leaves G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung to carry the anniversary on their own.

They aren't skimping. The September stop in New Jersey stretched to 30 songs and about three hours, according to Billboard's account of the MetLife Stadium show. It included "BiiiG," the group's first new single in four years, which came out Aug. 19, exactly 20 years after BIGBANG's debut.

Tickets come out in waves. TicketNews laid out the schedule, including presale rules from YG Entertainment, the group's label:

  • By Sunday, 9:59 p.m. PT: BIGBANG V.I.P Membership holders have to register on the group's b.stage platform with their six-digit membership code, which doubles as the presale code.
  • Nov. 11, 10 a.m. PT: The membership presale opens. YG says it's a limited batch, capped at six tickets per show. VIP package presales start the same day.
  • Nov. 12, 10 a.m. PT: The venue presale opens.
  • Nov. 13, 10 a.m. PT: General sale opens on Ticketmaster.

Fourteen years ago, BIGBANG's ALIVE scraped onto the Billboard 200 at No. 150, the first album by a K-pop group to chart there, and the band played U.S. arenas that year, Billboard noted. The 20th birthday ends in a stadium.
