BIGBANG stormed back onto the live stage at Coachella over the weekend, drawing a huge crowd as G‑Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung reunited for their first official activity under the group’s name in four years.
The trio performed on the Outdoor Theatre stage in Indio, California, on Sunday (12.04.26), delivering a packed hour‑long set that reignited the energy of their 20‑year legacy.
The show opened with dancers in jackets and flags referencing the group’s Made era, setting the tone before the unmistakable intro of Bang Bang Bang sent the audience into a frenzy.
The cheers only intensified when the three members appeared, marking their first performance together since the release of Still Life in April 2022.
BIGBANG had originally been invited to perform at the festival in 2020 as a four‑member act, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sunday’s set finally delivered the long‑anticipated return, albeit as a trio following T.O.P’s departure.
The performance followed months of speculation about the group’s future, fuelled in part by G‑Dragon’s comments during his Übermensch World Tour finale in Seoul in December 2025.
During the show, Taeyang and Daesung joined him onstage for a surprise mini‑reunion, performing Home Sweet Home, We Like 2 Party and Fool of Tears.
G‑Dragon teased plans for BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary, hinting that they would “start warming up from April”.
That hint has now materialised into one of the most talked‑about moments of this year’s festival, with the group’s Coachella return signalling a new chapter for the K‑pop veterans.
