South Korean boyband Bigbang are set to perform their first-ever UK gig this December, as the aftermath of Psy’s K-pop mega-hit ‘Gangnam Style’ begins to hit the British music scene.
The MTV EMA award-winning outfit, who have dozens of #1s in their home country, will perform a one-night-only gig in London’s Wembley Arena on October 26th, which is will be their first-ever concert on British soil.
Bigbang have had sold out shows in every country they’ve visited on their ‘Bigbang Alive Galaxy Tour, which kicked-off in Korea in March, where they played to more than 30,000 fans - with all three shows selling out instantly. They then stormed Japan, playing 13 sold out shows to more than 210,000 fans, and made history in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing with three shows and more than 32,000 tickets sold.
Bigbang, consisting of G.Dragon, T.O.P, Seungri, Taeyang, and Daesung, are known for their unique music style and flamboyant fashion sense. Bigbang is currently one of the most prominent Korean artists both locally and internationally, having gained immense popularity and recognition amongst music lovers and fashionistas all over the world - and their huge popularity could only possibly be shadowed by Psy and his supermassive hit ‘Gangnam Style’.
The Bigbang Alive Galaxy Tour 2012 is a history-making collaboration between Bigbang and the world-class production team led by Laurieann Gibson, the director for Lady Gaga’s ‘The Monster Ball Tour,’ who joined as the creative director for the tour. The production team, who have also collaborated with the likes of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Linkin Park, and many other big names, will be in charge of bringing the most fascinating stage effects to audiences.
Bigbang has had an incredible year, with five music videos receiving more than ten million views on YouTube, including ‘Monster,’ ‘Blue,’ ‘Fantastic Baby’ and ‘Bad Boy.’ They stayed at the top of the album charts in Korea for the first half of the year, with their comeback album ‘Alive,’ together with the special edition album ‘Still Alive,’ which garnered combined sales of more than 400,000 copies.
