BigBang lit up Singapore’s National Stadium on Oct 17 with their XX: Cosmos world tour, celebrating 20 years with a three-hour show of hits, humour and strong vocals.

G-Dragon impressed with his bold style and solo remix of Power, while Daesung won fans with jokes, trot songs and lively emcee work.

Taeyang’s falsetto and stage power stood out, but the concert’s heart was the trio’s brotherhood, ending with a moving Still Life that incorporated the recorded vocals of former member T.O.P

Not even Singapore’s murky skies could dampen the explosive energy of K-pop legends BigBang, who delivered a high-octane performance at the National Stadium on Oct 17.

Celebrating their 20th anniversary with the XX: Cosmos world tour, G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung proved that two decades in show business have only amplified their swagger, charisma and star power.

Their infectious energy, powerful vocals and hilarious banter made the show feel as much like a reunion of old friends as a stadium spectacle.

Here are five highlights.

1. A stadium-sized karaoke party

With a formidable catalogue of evergreen hits, BigBang turned the National Stadium into one giant karaoke session.

Divided into three acts – BigBang, solo performances and Cosmos – the three-hour concert was a masterclass in crowd-pleasing setlist curation.

The atmosphere was electric from the opening notes of their 2012 hit Fantastic Baby, with fans enthusiastically belting out the lyrics.

From Haru Haru (2008) to Bang Bang Bang (2015), their anthems demonstrated why BigBang’s music has endured across generations. Newer tunes such as BiiiG (2026) and Home Sweet Home (2024) had concertgoers on their feet, singing and dancing with abandon.

The trio commanded the stage with effortless confidence, showing no apparent signs of being hampered by the haze.

2. G-Dragon: fashion king and lovable eccentric

G-Dragon was clearly a crowd favourite, commanding attention with his wacky antics and effortlessly cool persona.

Nobody does flamboyance quite like G-Dragon.

The group’s charismatic leader was a walking fashion spectacle, bringing his trademark eccentricity, oversized hats and unmistakable Chanel swagger to the stage.

His solo segment, featuring an electrifying remix of Power (2024), showcased his musical versatility and songwriting prowess.

Clearly a crowd favourite, the 38-year-old commanded attention with his wacky antics and effortlessly cool persona.

He repeatedly dabbed the perspiration on his face with a plain white towel before eventually draping it over his head. Even that became a fashion statement of sorts.

3. Daesung steals the show with humour and trot

Daesung brought the house down with two exuberant trot numbers – Hando Chogua (2025) and Look At Me, Gwisun (2014).

If G-Dragon was the star attraction, Daesung might well have been the night’s most valuable player.

The 37-year-old was an irrepressible bundle of sunshine, doubling as the group’s unofficial emcee with his self-deprecating humour.

Joking about his small eyes, he claimed he could barely see the fans. He also welcomed concert first-timers, quipping that new customers were always good for business.

But the laughter was matched by formidable vocals. His solo segment showcased his vocal strength, while his exuberant and cheeky trot numbers – Hando Chogua (2025) and Look At Me, Gwisun (2014) – brought the house down.

The genre’s playful theatricality suited his larger-than-life personality, making Daesung the evening’s ultimate happy pill.

4. Taeyang brings the heat – and impressive falsetto

Known for his chiselled abs, Taeyang did not remove his jacket as he did at other legs of the XX: Cosmos world tour, to the dismay of his fans.

With slick dance moves, soulful vocals and an impressive falsetto, Taeyang demonstrated why he remains one of K-pop’s most accomplished performers, with Ringa Linga (2013) becoming a rousing singalong.

The 38-year-old also acknowledged the haze that had blanketed Singapore.

“Today, I was a little worried that I may not see your faces because of the haze,” he told the audience. “But guess what? I can see your faces clearly from here.”

He remarked that Singapore was among the hottest places the group had performed, prompting cheeky cries of “take it off” from fans, hoping Taeyang would shed his jacket to show off his trademark six-pack abs. Unfortunately for them, he kept it on for much of the night.

5. Brotherhood remains BigBang’s greatest strength

Beyond the music, the trio’s easy camaraderie provided some of the night’s most endearing moments.

G-Dragon and Daesung slow-danced while Taeyang sang the outro of Loser (2015), and later skipped down the stage catwalk like mischievous schoolboys.

When Taeyang and Daesung bantered about sexiness, G-Dragon jokingly complained about being excluded because he apparently was not their kind of sexy.

There was genuine affection beneath the clowning. G-Dragon revealed how much he had missed his “brothers” during his solo Ubermensch tour in 2025, and how that longing prompted him to call for the XX: Cosmos tour.

The encore performance of Still Life (2022), which incorporated the recorded vocals of former member T.O.P, was a poignant tribute to their shared history and the bonds forged over two decades.

BigBang may not dance in perfect synchronisation, with each member moving to his own rhythm, but their individuality is precisely what makes them work as a unit.

Twenty years on, they are still very much in step with one another.

10 月 17 日，BigBang 在新加坡国家体育场举行了 XX: Cosmos 世界巡回演唱会，庆祝出道 20 周年。这场长达三小时的演出充满了热门歌曲、幽默和强劲的歌声。

G-Dragon凭借其大胆的风格和《Power》的个人混音版给人留下了深刻的印象，而大成则凭借笑话、Trot歌曲和生动的主持工作赢得了粉丝的喜爱。

太阳的假声和舞台表现力固然令人印象深刻，但这场演唱会的核心是三人之间的兄弟情谊，最后以一首感人至深的《静物》结尾，其中还融入了前成员TOP的录音人声。

BigBang 2026-2027 世界巡回演唱会 XX：宇宙

国家体育场 10月17日

即使新加坡阴沉的天空也无法浇灭 K-pop 传奇组合 BigBang 的爆发力，他们在 10 月 17 日于国家体育场带来了一场激情四射的表演。

为庆祝出道 20 周年，G-Dragon、太阳和大声举办了 XX: Cosmos 世界巡回演唱会。他们证明，二十年的演艺生涯只会增强他们的气场、魅力和明星效应。

他们充满感染力的活力、强劲的嗓音和幽默的玩笑，让这场演出既像是一场老朋友的重聚，又像是一场体育场内的盛大演出。

以下是五个亮点。

1. 一场体育场规模的卡拉OK派对

凭借一系列经久不衰的热门歌曲，BigBang 将国家体育场变成了一个巨大的卡拉OK厅。

这场三个小时的演唱会分为三个部分——BigBang、个人表演和 Cosmos——堪称讨好观众的歌单策划大师课。

从他们 2012 年的热门歌曲《Fantastic Baby》的前奏响起，现场气氛就非常热烈，歌迷们热情地高声合唱。

从《Haru Haru》（2008）到《Bang Bang Bang》（2015），他们的代表作展现了BigBang的音乐为何能够跨越世代经久不衰。而像《BiiiG》（2026）和《Home Sweet Home》（2024）这样的新歌更是让演唱会观众们情不自禁地站起来，载歌载舞，尽情狂欢。

三人以毫不费力的自信掌控着舞台，丝毫没有受到烟雾的影响。

2. G-Dragon：时尚之王兼可爱怪咖

G-Dragon 显然是观众最喜欢的选手，他古怪的举止和酷炫的个性吸引了所有人的目光。

没有人能像G-Dragon那样张扬。

该组合魅力四射的领队本身就是一场行走的时尚盛宴，他将自己标志性的古怪风格、超大号帽子和无可置疑的香奈儿式傲慢带到了舞台上。

他的独奏部分，以一首令人热血沸腾的《Power》（2024）混音版为特色，展现了他的音乐才华和创作能力。

这位38岁的男子显然深受观众喜爱，他凭借古怪的举止和毫不费力的酷劲儿吸引了所有人的目光。

他用一条纯白毛巾反复擦拭脸上的汗水，最后把毛巾披在头上。就连这都成了一种时尚宣言。

3. 大成凭借幽默和Trot舞抢尽风头

大成演唱了两首欢快的trot歌曲——《Hando Chogua》（2025）和《Look At Me, Gwisun》（2014），赢得了满堂喝彩。

如果说 G-Dragon 是当晚的明星，那么大成很可能就是当晚最有价值的球员。

这位 37 岁的男子活力四射，就像一团阳光，他以自嘲式的幽默担任着团队的非官方主持人。

他开玩笑说自己眼睛太小，几乎看不见歌迷。他还欢迎第一次来看演唱会的歌迷，打趣说新顾客总是能带来生意。

但笑声与他惊人的歌喉相得益彰。他的独唱部分展现了他强大的歌唱实力，而他热情奔放、略带俏皮的trot歌曲——《Hando Chogua》（2025）和《Look At Me, Gwisun》（2014）——更是赢得了满堂喝彩。

该流派轻松诙谐的戏剧性与他夸张的个性相得益彰，使大成成为当晚最令人开心的人。

4. 太阳带来火热的演唱——以及令人印象深刻的假声

以线条分明的腹肌著称的太阳，在“XX: Cosmos”世界巡回演唱会的其他场次中，并没有像往常那样脱掉外套，这让粉丝们感到失望。ST PHOTO：JOANNE SOH

太阳以其线条分明的腹肌而闻名，但与他在 XX: Cosmos 世界巡回演唱会其他场次中脱掉外套不同，这次他并没有脱掉外套，这让他的粉丝们感到失望。

凭借流畅的舞步、深情的歌声和令人印象深刻的假声，太阳证明了他为何仍然是韩国流行音乐界最杰出的表演者之一，《Ringa Linga》（2013）也成为了一首振奋人心的合唱歌曲。

这位38岁的男子也提到了笼罩新加坡的雾霾。

“今天，我有点担心因为雾霾可能看不清你们的脸，”他对观众说。“但你们猜怎么着？我从这里能清楚地看到你们的脸。”

他提到新加坡是他们演出过的最热的地方之一，这番话引来粉丝们调侃的“脱掉”的喊声，希望太阳能脱掉外套，露出他标志性的六块腹肌。可惜的是，当晚他大部分时间都穿着外套。

5. 兄弟情谊依然是BigBang最大的优势

BigBang 以他们 2012 年的热门歌曲《Fantastic Baby》拉开了 XX: Cosmos 演唱会的序幕。

除了音乐之外，三人之间轻松愉快的友谊也为当晚带来了一些最令人感动的瞬间。

G-Dragon 和 Daesung 在 Taeyang 演唱 Loser (2015) 的结尾曲时跳起了慢舞，之后像顽皮的小学生一样蹦蹦跳跳地走下了舞台的 T 台。

当太阳和大声谈论性感时，G-Dragon 开玩笑地抱怨自己被排除在外，因为他显然不是他们眼中的那种性感。

在玩笑的背后，是真挚的感情。G-Dragon透露，在2025年的个人巡演“Ubermensch”期间，他有多么想念他的“兄弟们”，而正是这种思念促使他发起了“XX: Cosmos”巡演。

返场表演的《静物》（2022）融入了前成员 TOP 的录音人声，是对他们共同的历史和二十多年来建立的友谊的深情致敬。

BigBang 的舞步或许并不完全同步，每个成员都按照自己的节奏舞动，但正是他们的个性使他们能够作为一个整体发挥作用。

二十年过去了，他们仍然步调一致。
