Tickets for K-pop veteran Big Bang’s world tour opener in Goyang, Gyeonggi, are scheduled to be released on June 24, according to the band’s agency YG Entertainment on Monday.  

Members of Big Bang’s official fan club, V.I.P., will have first access to tickets from 7 p.m. General sales will open at 7 p.m. the next day.

Fans can purchase tickets for domestic concerts on the Coupang Play mobile application and those for international concerts on the ticketing platform Nol World.

The Goyang concerts will take place at Goyang Stadium from Aug. 21 to 23 and kickstart the “Big Bang 2026 World Tour,” which marks the band’s 20-year debut anniversary.

The upcoming tour will span 31 shows across 18 cities, with information about additional dates to follow.

It also marks the first world tour in nine years to feature all of the group’s current members: G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung.

The band recently performed at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California, in April.

Big Bang debuted in 2006 under YG Entertainment. It is known for chart-topping hits such as “Lies” (2007), “Haru Haru” (2008) and “Fantastic Baby” (2012).
