BIGBANG in Manila 2027: the XX, COSMOS show at SMDC Festival Grounds
BIGBANG bring the XX, COSMOS world tour to SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque on Saturday 20 February 2027, their first Philippine show as a group in nine years. Confirmed date, published prices and how the night works.
BIGBANG return to Manila as a group for the first time in nine years: G-DRAGON, TAEYANG and DAESUNG bring the XX, COSMOS world tour to the SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque on Saturday 20 February 2027. The date is confirmed: the promoters' announcement from AEG Presents Asia and Ovation Productions, with YG Entertainment, publishes the date and venue, and our event page carries the listing and the source it was checked against.
The short version
One outdoor night, standing and reserved seating mixed, tickets through Ticketmaster Philippines. Published prices run from ₱4,888 for the standing category at the back to ₱25,888 for the Ultimate Package, with the Diamond and Gold packages at ₱23,888 and ₱21,888. The tour marks the group's twentieth anniversary: 2026 is twenty years since their debut, and the world tour runs to 33 shows. Manila is a late stop, after Kuala Lumpur on 9 January and Jakarta on 16 January, before the tour closes in Kaohsiung on 27 and 28 February.
The venue
The SMDC Festival Grounds are an open-air concert ground in Aseana City, Parañaque, a short ride from the Mall of Asia complex and the Entertainment City resorts. The grounds are busy this season: the Otherworld Festival plays there on 28 November 2026 (our listing). February is dry season in Manila, but an outdoor show still means heat in the queue and a long, slow walk out with the crowd afterwards.
Where to stay
Base in Parañaque itself if you can: the Entertainment City resorts and the bay-side hotels put the grounds within a short ride, and the airport is close for a fly-in weekend. Pasay and Makati are the other sensible bases. The Parañaque guide covers the area and the hotels page works through the districts. Book the room early: a single-night show of this size fills the bay-side hotels first.
