K-pop powerhouse BIGBANG has demonstrated their enduring global presence by completely selling out a massive US stadium—including restricted-view seating. On Sept. 11, the iconic group held “BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS > IN EAST RUTHERFORD” at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

MetLife Stadium is one of the largest concert venues in the United States, having previously hosted global superstars like Taylor Swift and Coldplay. By taking over such a massive arena and packing every seat to capacity, BIGBANG showcased their strong and steadfast influence in North America. The performance carried special significance as it marked their first standalone US concert tour in 11 years, since the “BIGBANG 2015 WORLD TOUR [MADE].”

Given the long wait, local fans turned out with unprecedented heat and enthusiasm. Taking the stage amidst a spectacular fireworks display, BIGBANG exuded an unrivaled presence as they kicked off the show with an energetic performance of “FANTASTIC BABY.” They kept the energy soaring by unleashing a continuous stream of hit tracks, including “HANDS UP,” “TONIGHT,” “BLUE,” “LOSER” and “IF YOU.”

The solo stages highlighted each member’s distinct charm, offering dynamic variety throughout the night. Daesung delivered an unforgettable performance blending heartfelt emotional vocals with his signature witty trot stage. Taeyang commanded attention with his unmatched, groove-heavy dance performance, while G-Dragon instantly took control of the stadium with his effortless hip-hop swag and magnetic charisma.

Despite the setlist consisting almost entirely of Korean-language songs, the stadium echoed with deafening cheers and passionate fan sing-alongs throughout the show. Addressing the crowd, the members shared, “The most precious thing to us is the love you send our way. Thank you for supporting us for 20 years. To have been together for this long and to be performing in a stadium today feels like a dream.”
