The legendary K-pop group BIGBANG is officially preparing to make a grand musical return.
On July 7, 2026, Korean media outlet MyDaily reported that the group has locked in their schedule to shoot a brand-new music video during the third week of July.
Production on the song is already well underway, with industry sources confirming that the members are hard at work preparing the fresh music as a unified full group.
To make this swift production schedule work smoothly, the three remaining active members carefully coordinated their individual calendars far in advance.
According to inside reports, they will be maximizing their time by filming the official music video alongside extra promotional multimedia content all on the same day.
The news has sent shockwaves through the global music community, as fans have been eagerly awaiting a new era from the iconic artists.
Ending a Multi-Year Silence Since “Still Life”
This upcoming musical project will break a massive four-year recording hiatus for the historic group.
BIGBANG’s last official digital release was the deeply emotional track “Still Life,” which dropped back in April 2022.
That project notable featured former member T.O.P. before his departure from the group.
Even though the group chose to completely skip traditional television music show promotions and broadcast appearances at the time, the single achieved monumental chart success, eventually ranking at an impressive No. 7 on Melon’s massive year-end digital chart.
The intense public love for their older work has set expectations extraordinarily high for this next piece.
Because the music industry landscape has shifted heavily toward rapid digital rollouts over the last four years, the arrival of a veteran power player like BIGBANG is expected to draw immense curiosity from casual listeners and older K-pop enthusiasts alike.
Paving the Way for a Massive 2026 World Tour
The strategy behind dropping this fresh track is highly deliberate.
The upcoming single is planned to drop as a celebratory pre-release track ahead of BIGBANG’s highly anticipated world tour, which marks the group’s first expansive global concert tour in nine long years since their last collective road series in 2017.
The live performance tour will officially launch under the name “BIGBANG 2026 WORLD TOUR IN GOYANG,” starting off with a massive three-night weekend concert series from August 21 to August 23 at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea.
Following these massive stadium opening shows, the group will head overseas to tackle a grueling 32-show tour itinerary that will span 18 major international cities across North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia.
Label representatives have also teased that additional global tour dates and regional stops are expected to be officially announced as the year progresses.
