The city's VIPs are buzzing with excitement as sources suggest the iconic K-pop boy band BigBang will reunite in Hong Kong in March 2026, a much-anticipated return to the city after nearly a decade away.
The reunion is particularly special as it coincides with the group's 20th anniversary since their debut, where the BIGBANG members Daesung and G-Dragon have already hinted at a series of celebratory activities planned for the year during their solo concerts.
According to an exclusive report from Sing Tao Daily, sister publication of The Standard, their concerts are likely to take place at the Kai Tak Sports Park in March next year, with at least three shows expected.
To tackle the issue of scalpers -- especially after the sky-high prices for G-Dragon's recent solo concerts at AsiaWorld-Expo -- the organizers are introducing a "real-name ticketing system" to ensure that fans get first dibs on tickets.
The new system aims to ensure fair access to tickets by eliminating scalpers and counterfeit tickets, securing spots for loyal fans.
Debuting in 2006 as a quintet, BigBang's last performance in Hong Kong was in January 2017 at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, before the departure of former member Seungri (Lee Seung-hyun), who was arrested over the Burning Sun scandal, and the announcement of departure by T.O.P. (Choi Seung-hyun).
The group's surprising reunion at the 2024 MAMA Awards was unforgettable for all the global fans, and now their upcoming concerts are set to ignite a frenzy as fans impatiently await the opportunity to relive their greatest hits.
