The K-pop icons are back in the desert—and their long-awaited return is already one of Coachella’s biggest moments.

Ready for more? With weekend one in the books, Coachella is gearing up for round two—and if there’s one act everyone’s still talking about, it’s BIGBANG. The legendary K-pop group made their long-awaited return to the global stage last week on April 12, delivering a hit-packed set that was both a nostalgia trip and a very loud reminder of their staying power.
Now, they’re doing it all over again. Whether you missed the first show or are ready to relive it, here’s what to expect from one of the festival’s most buzzed-about performances.
BIGBANG will perform again during weekend two on Sunday, April 19, after first taking the stage on April 12. BIGBANG is set to return to the Outdoor Theatre at 10:30 pm.
For starters, Coachella marks BIGBANG’s first full-scale group performance since their 2017 “Last Dance” tour, making it a major comeback moment more than a decade into their career.
The set also carries extra weight: 2026 marks the group’s 20th anniversary and their Coachella debut (after a canceled 2020 appearance) feels like a reset button. “B to the I to the G to the Bang is back,” G-Dragon told the crowd during weekend one.
There’s also scale: Reports claim the group earned around $2 million for the performance, with crowds reportedly reaching up to 80,000 attendees—numbers that have only fueled the online hype.

While nothing is officially confirmed for weekend two, weekend one gave a very clear blueprint—and it’s stacked. The set opened with high-energy staples like “Bang Bang Bang,” “Fantastic Baby” and “Sober,” before shifting into emotional classics including “Haru Haru,” “Lies” and “Loser.”
Solo moments also played a major role: Taeyang performed “Ringa Linga,” G-Dragon delivered “Power,” and Daesung surprised fans with trot-inspired tracks like “Look At Me, Gwisun.” The show closed on a sentimental note with “Still Life,” the group’s most recent release, bringing the crowd full circle.
That’s the big question. Fans online are already speculating about possible setlist tweaks (justice for “Tonight,” apparently), guest appearances or even tour announcements—especially after the group hinted at “big things” ahead. Either way, BIGBANG’s Coachella return doesn’t feel like a one-off. It feels like the start of something.
Coachella is streaming seven stages live on YouTube, so you can tune into the Outdoor Theatre feed on Sunday night from 10:30 to 11:30pm right below.
BIGBANG might be one of the most talked-about sets of the weekend, but they’re far from the only reason to show up early and stay late. Weekend two is stacked across all three days, with headliners Sabrina Carpenter and Anyma (Friday), Justin Bieber (Saturday) and Karol G (Sunday) leading the charge.
Beyond that, the lineup runs deep: think the Strokes, FKA twigs, Iggy Pop, Katseye, Disclosure, BIGBANG and PinkPantheress, plus a last-minute addition from Kacey Musgraves.
