Key points

BIGBANG sold out its MetLife Stadium show in New Jersey on September 11 (local time).
The New Jersey date capped a successful US run that also included two sold-out nights in Oakland.
The European leg kicks off September 19 in Paris and September 26 in London, with Taiwan, Singapore and Thailand added by fan demand.
T.O.P, who now performs as a solo artist, said in a Japanese TV interview that he's rooting for his former bandmates' tour.

This tour was built around BIGBANG's 20th anniversary as a group. Filling one of the biggest stadiums in the US with fans decades into their career, observers say, is fresh proof that the group's overseas fandom hasn't lost a step.

The show opened with pyrotechnics and a high-energy track, and the crowd's energy carried through the rest of the setlist. Between the jumbotron visuals, lighting design and fireworks, fans and critics alike called it a tightly produced, arena-tour-caliber production.

After wrapping the US dates, the members head straight to Europe to continue the tour. Cities that weren't originally on the schedule have since been added thanks to fan demand, expanding the tour's overall footprint across multiple continents.

Meanwhile, T.O.P — who's now on his own path outside the group — brought up his former bandmates in a recently released interview with Japanese broadcasters. He said that while he won't be sharing a stage with them, he'll keep watching and cheering for their activities, and also talked about restarting his own career with a new album and solo tour after time away.

Formed in 2006, BIGBANG has long been regarded as one of the defining groups of its era thanks to a string of hit singles. This tour has become an occasion to revisit that 20-year run.

In Korea right nowIn Korea, many are struck that a group two decades past its debut can still fill massive stadiums overseas. A sellout at a venue that's hosted some of the world's biggest acts is being cited as proof that K-pop's second generation still has staying power. At the same time, T.O.P's message of support — even without performing together — is being read as a sign that ties among the members remain intact even without a full reunion.
