YG Entertainment and Live Nation Entertainment are proud to present the BIGBANG ALIVE GALAXY TOUR 2012 in the U.S. This will be the first-ever U.S. tour by the world-famous group BIGBANG.
The group’s tour itinerary will include two U.S. concert dates:
Saturday, November 3, 2012 @ Honda Center in Anaheim, California
Friday, November 9, 2012 @ Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey
Tickets will go on sale beginning at 10:00 am (EDT/PDT) on Saturday, September 22, 2012 at LiveNation.com.
BIGBANG kicked-off their global “BIGBANG ALIVE GALAXY TOUR 2012” in Korea in March. 30,000 tickets for the three area shows sold out immediately after they were announced. The group then stormed Japan with an amazing 13 shows, where over 1 million fans attempted to purchase the 210,000 available tickets. They also played three impressive shows in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing (the latter with an historic attendance of over 32,000 people).
BIGBANG has created a frenzy wherever they perform. Tickets have sold at an incredibly fast rate in every country they’ve visited. In Jakarta, all tickets sold out in a mere 10 minutes with over 50,000 users rushing to the ticketing website, crashing the server within 30 seconds of the shows going on sale. In Singapore, all tickets were sold out shortly after the on sale began and a second show was immediately announced to cope with the huge tickets demand from their enthusiastic fans. Later in Malaysia, BIGBANG attracted more than 3,500 fans to queue up at the box office. Most recently in Taiwan, where BIGBANG is especially popular, all 22,000 tickets for their two shows sold out within a few hours.
BIGBANG consists of 5 members: G.Dragon, T.O.P, Seungri, Taeyang and Daesung. Known for their unique musical style and flamboyant fashion sense, BIGBANG currently is one of the most prominent Korean artists both locally and internationally. They have gained notoriety and recognition among both music lovers and fashionistas all over the world.
The members of BIGBANG focused on their own solo activities in August, including the launch of G.Dragon’s 2nd solo album ONE OF A KIND, T.O.P’s participation in spy movie Alumni and Seungri hosting his own TV program, “V.I. FROM BIGBANG.” Starting at the end of September, they will resume their concert tour activities to perform in front of their beloved fans and supporters in cities including Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, United States, Peru and Japan before landing on their first-ever concert in Hong Kong in December.
BIGBANG ALIVE GALAXY TOUR 2012 is a historic collaboration between BIGBANG and their world-class production team. Laurieann Gibson, director of Lady Gaga’s “The Monster Ball Tour”, serves as the creative director for Alive Galaxy 2012. Additional talent rounds out the top-notch production team, which has collaborated with Madonna, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Linkin Park and many other major artists.
BIGBANG’s profile has been skyrocketing since they reemerged in January. Their five Korean music videos have gotten over 10 million views on Youtube and they have topped Korean album sales charts for the first half of 2012. Their comeback record Alive, together with the recently released special edition album Still Alive, has sold over 400,000 copies combined. They were expected to easily pass the half-million album sales mark this year.
Samsung Galaxy is the global sponsor of BIGBANG ALIVE GALAXY TOUR 2012 in the US.
