BIGBANG's First US Shows in 9 Years Hit Oakland This Weekend

BIGBANG plays North America for the first time in nine years this Friday and Saturday, and tickets for both Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum shows are nearly gone. The Sept. 5 date sold out within 30 minutes of general on-sale, and only scattered primary inventory remains for Sept. 4.

Tour Dates

Sept. 4 (Fri), 8 p.m. - Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, Oakland, California
Sept. 5 (Sat), 8 p.m. - Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, Oakland, California
Sept. 11 (Fri) - MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey
Sept. 19 - Stade de France, Paris, France
Sept. 26 - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England

Tickets

United States: AXS is the official outlet for both Oakland dates - Sept. 4 and Sept. 5. Ticketmaster handles the Sept. 11 MetLife Stadium show.

Doors open at 6 p.m. local time both Oakland nights; show starts at 8 p.m.

Limited resale is available through StubHub and Vivid Seats, both operating under FanProtect-style buyer guarantees, with average listed prices well above the original box-office range.

This is BIGBANG's first tour as a three-member act - G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung - following Seungri's 2019 exit and T.O.P's departure in 2023, and their first live run since the Last Dance Tour ended in 2017. The "XX: Cosmos" World Tour opened Aug. 21-23 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea, where all three nights sold out within 22 minutes, timed to coincide with the group's 20th anniversary and the release of the single "BiiiG."

After the Oakland-to-MetLife stretch, the tour crosses the Atlantic for single stadium nights in Paris and London before continuing through Asia and Australia into early 2027, with a full 31-show run scheduled through Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in late February.

Oakland was chosen to open the North American leg over a larger East Coast market, giving Bay Area fans first crack at BIGBANG's return before the tour heads to the New York area. The Sept. 5 date falls on the closing night of Labor Day weekend, and Oakland is the group's only US stop west of the Mississippi on this leg - the next-nearest North American date after MetLife doesn't arrive until the tour reaches Mexico later in the schedule.
