In addition to the new single, BIGBANG is launching their "XX: Cosmos" world tour. The tour kicks off with three dates at Goyang Stadium near Seoul from August 21 to 23, 2026. The global tour is slated to encompass 33 performances in 19 cities across North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia, celebrating two decades in the music industry.
