## Ten years in the making
BIGBANG played MetLife Stadium for the only East Coast date of the XX : COSMOS tour, their first tri-state show since two nights in Newark back in October 2015.
## A trio, out loud
G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung are touring together for the first time since 2017, and the first time as three. The show leaned into that instead of tiptoeing around it.

> a fact the night never sidestepped but instead absorbed into the celebration
## Thirty songs, three hours
"Fantastic Baby," "Loser," "Bang Bang Bang," "Haru Haru" and "Lies" anchored the set, with solo slots letting each member show off hip-hop, R&B, ballads and trot.
## A new single, live
They performed "BiiiG," their first new song in four years, released Aug. 19 to land exactly 20 years after the group's debut.
## Built like a spectacle
YG Entertainment put the show on a 23-ton mobile LED structure designed by Es Devlin, directed by Mike Carson and backed by a live band led by Wow Jones.
## Fire from the first note
"Fantastic Baby" opened the night with pyro spitting flames and fireworks as G-Dragon hit his first lines. From here the tour runs 36 shows in 19 cities through February 2027.
## Key takeaway

BIGBANG's first US stadium run treats the group's smaller lineup as part of the celebration, not something to hide.
