BIGBANG Unveils Logo Motion for 20th-Anniversary World Tour "XX : COSMOS" — A Grand Journey After Nine Years

BIGBANG has unveiled a logo motion heralding the opening of its 20th-anniversary world tour. With this tour coming together after about nine years, fans are gathering their anticipation around a stage that opens a new chapter. A Logo Motion Like a Sci-Fi Movie Trailer Agency YG Entertainment posted the logo motion for "BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR 'XX : COSMOS'" on its official social media on August 4. Following the previously revealed title, it's a video offering the first glimpse of the mood and worldview this world tour will unfold. The video blends trails of light cutting through pitch-black darkness with a weighty sound, delivering the immersion of watching a sci-fi movie preview. In particular, an infinity (∞) form tangled like threads meshes intricately, realizing the order of the vast cosmos through sensuous visuals that instantly captivate the eye. The Worldview Behind "XX : COSMOS" This logo condenses the worldview embedded in the tour title "XX : COSMOS." Into a form derived from infinity (∞), it melds two meanings at once—"20," signifying the 20th debut anniversary, and endlessly expanding infinity. Added to this is "COSMOS," meaning connection, relationship, and continuity, completing into a single worldview the 20-year bond BIGBANG has built with fans and the new journey it will carry forward. A Trail That Opened New Horizons for K-pop Concerts BIGBANG has opened new horizons for K-pop concerts in the global performance market. Starting with "ALIVE GALAXY," which broadened the reach of K-pop tours across the world, it left a bold trail by writing records unprecedented at the time—drawing the largest audience for a single K-pop artist tour (1.5 million), the first Japanese six-dome tour by an overseas artist and dome tours for five consecutive years, the largest audience and most cities in China (250,000 across 13 cities), and the largest North American tour, among others. Coming together after about nine years, this world tour adds meaning as a stage where BIGBANG, marking its 20th debut anniversary, opens a new chapter. The members are expected to draw together all the musical prowess and concert know-how accumulated over the past 20 years, delivering fans unforgettable moments with further-evolved performance and highly polished shows. The Opening in Goyang, 19 Cities and 33 Shows BIGBANG will hold "BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR 'XX : COSMOS' IN GOYANG, with Coupang Play" over three days, August 21–23, at Goyang Sports Complex. With all three shows sold out, this tour will run across 19 cities and 33 shows in total, and additional host regions are set to be announced in sequence going forward.
