BIGBANG Reunites at Coachella With Career-Spanning Set to Kick Off 20th Anniversary

The trio cast the show as a fresh start ahead of a planned world tour.

Overview

  • BIGBANG, now a trio of G‑Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung, closed Coachella’s Outdoor Theatre with a roughly hourlong set Sunday, their first full group show since 2017.
  • The set covered signature hits including Bang Bang Bang, Fantastic Baby and Loser and folded in solo turns like Taeyang’s Ringa Linga and G‑Dragon’s Power.
  • Daesung brought trot, a classic Korean pop style, to a major U.S. festival with Hando Chogua and Look at Me, Gwisun in a rare cross‑genre showcase.
  • The group ended with 2022 single Still Life using former member T.O.P’s recorded verse, and they told fans the performance marked the start of new group activity.
  • The return fulfilled a 2020 Coachella booking canceled by the pandemic and underscored how uncommon a two‑decade run is for a K‑pop group.
