BIGBANG is making their U.S. return massive. 

The K-pop phenoms announced six arena dates for the North American leg of their Made world tour. The quintet will hit big markets like the Los Angeles and New York areas (including a two-night stay at Newark's Prudential Center), along with less frequented markets for K-pop acts like Las Vegas and Toronto.

Come the October concerts, American fans will be able to not only hear favorites like "Fantastic Baby" and "Lies," but will also have a whole new album to hear live. Last month, the band revealed they'll release new music every month until the September release of their Made LP. "Loser" and "Bae Bae" were the first tastes of the forthcoming record. The week after their release, they occupied the top two slots on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart.

With six dates on the tour, the trek marks one of the largest K-pop tours in recent history. Interestingly enough, BIGBANG's label mates Epik High will hit North America for 11 dates this summer which marks the biggest K-pop tour since 2010.

Tickets for BIGBANG's Made dates go on sale on June 12 at various times depending on the location. Ticket prices range from $50 to $300.

Meanwhile, BIGBANG announced their upcoming single "Bang Bang Bang" and"We Like 2 Party" to be released on June 1. Check out the tour's blockbuster-themed trailer along with tour dates below.

[OSEN=??? ??] “BIGBANG will be showcasing the most powerful music you have ever heard before.”

Such announcement from YG is building curiosity for the fans. This was a comment related to the upcoming tracks of BIGABANG titled “BANG BANG BANG.”

The second album “A” of the MADE Series includes the new track “BANG BANG BANG.” On May 27 at 9am YG uploaded a poster on its blog with the caption that read ‘BIGBANG PRESENTS’, ‘BANG BANG BANG.”

BIGBANG’s upcoming track is known for being an extension of “FANTASTIC BABY” and “LIES.” Personnel who saw the sneak peek of the song commented, “This is a very fancy main-dish this time. You can’t stay still. It’s that dynamic. The new track reminds you of ‘FANTASTIC BABY’ or ‘LIES’ or ‘LAST FAREWELL.’ It’s even faster and more powerful than ‘FANTASTIC BABY.’”

If “LOSER” and “BAE BAE” in May touched your sentiments, than “BANG BANG BANG” in June will leave you mesmerized with the dynamic beat. BIGBANG have already shaken the music world with the first project “M.” It will be interesting to see what they have got for us this time.

Paris Goble is involved in the choreography of “BANG BANG BANG.” She also appears in the music video, which is already attracting much attention from the East and the West continents. YG personnel said that YG’s Executive Director did not hold back in escorting Paris Goble and globalizing the agency’s representing idol group that rose to international stardom.

Paris Goble was involved in TAEYANG’s “RINGA L:INGA” and GD X TAEYANG’s “GOOD BOY.” She is now one of the most successful choreographers whose schedule is absolutely full.

The visual effect of the music video is also arousing much attention. BIGBANG’s new video is directed by Seo Hyeon Seung who directed “FANTASTIC BABY.” The video hit 150 million views on YouTube recently, breaking the record for BIGBANG’s videos.

With the new album coming up in just 5 days, BIGBANG’s popularity is only rising. Since their return with the two tracks, they swept across all music charts and occupied the top two slots on Billboard’s World Digital Songs. They took the top position for 3 weeks in a row, and despite other artists releasing new tracks, they are maintaining their place for 27 days in a row.

The upcoming album “A” will be sold on reservation from May 27 at 2pm from May 31. On June 1, it will be sold on YG’s E-SHOP and on/offline music shops across the country.

With the impact of the “M” still in the air, in just 5 days the second series “A” will be unveiled. They have made May the “Month of BIGBANG”, and all eyes are on the quintet to see what they will show us this time on June 1.

[OSEN=??? ??] BIGBANG is re-writing the history by climbing up rankings yet again.

As of 3pm on May 27, BIGBANG’s latest track once again climbed up the ranking to take the first slot. On May 23 they did the same, and since then they are re-writing the history of K-Pop.

“LOSER,” which is very BIGBANG-like, is attracting attention all across the population. The track swept across all music charts immediately after release and was given whopping 10 trophies.

And it is almost a month since the release, but the song is still ranked in the top range. That, or it is climbing up the rankings and topping charts again. The other title track “BAE BAE” is also keeping its position in the top range for nearly a month now.

BIGBANG’s “LOSER” is about a lonely person. With the soft beat and the medium tempo, the song expresses BIGBANG’s colors clearly. It is tranquil but rhythmical, carrying an addictive hook that attracts any listeners. T.O.P and GD wrote the song while TAEYANG composed, and TEDDY was in charge of the overall production.

On June 1 BIGBANG is scheduled to release the next project of the “MADE” album, which includes a song called “BANG BANG BANG.” It would be interesting to see how long the impact of “LOSER” will last. Many are expecting to see a BIGBANG vs BIGBANG battle in the music world soon.
