K-pop legends BIGBANG made a powerful return to the global stage with their highly anticipated debut performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2026.
Performing at the Outdoor Theatre stage during Day 3 of the festival on Monday, April 13 (Philippine time), members G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung reunited for a rare live appearance after years of hiatus.
The trio, now the active lineup of BIGBANG, showcased a string of the group’s biggest hits, drawing loud reactions from the festival crowd.
Their setlist featured fan favorites such as “Fantastic Baby,” “Bang Bang Bang,” “Sober,” “A Fool of Tears,” “Loser,” “Let’s Not Fall in Love,” and “Haru Haru.”
Each member also had a solo moment on stage. Taeyang performed “Ringa Linga,” while G-Dragon delivered “Power,” before the two reunited for their collaboration track “Good Boy.” Daesung added a unique twist to the desert stage with trot-inspired performances of “HANDO-CHOGUA” and “Look at Me, Gwisun.”
The set concluded with “Still Life,” which notably included vocals from former member T.O.P, who left the group in 2023.
Before closing their set, Taeyang expressed gratitude to fans, saying their Coachella appearance “means a lot to us.”
The appearance was especially significant for fans, as BIGBANG was originally slated to perform at Coachella in 2020 before the event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their return this year is also seen as a preview of the group’s 20th anniversary celebrations, with another performance scheduled for April 20.
YG Entertainment’s Yang Hyun-suk revealed earlier that BIGBANG is preparing for a world tour in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the group.
BIGBANG joins a growing roster of Korean acts at this year’s Coachella, including SHINee member Taemin and global girl group KATSEYE.
The group made its debut in 2006 under YG Entertainment.
