BIGBANG’s Bangkok show halted by storms; full refunds announced
Refunds for the November 8 performance will include ticketing and payment gateway fees, with some fans required to submit details by December 15.
Organisers stopped BIGBANG’s November 8, 2026 concert at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok as heavy rain, strong winds and lightning created safety risks. They subsequently confirmed that everyone holding a ticket for the affected performance would receive a full refund.
Sports Chosun, a South Korean entertainment outlet, reported that the show started in dry conditions. The group kept performing as rain fell, before worsening thunder and lightning prompted the halt.
Addressing the audience, the members said they wanted to continue but had been advised that conditions were too dangerous, according to Sports Chosun. BIGBANG later posted an apology in Thai on its official Facebook page, thanked attendees and urged them to travel home safely.
A notice on ticketing platform Thaiticketmajor said refunds would include the entire sum paid, covering ticketing and payment gateway fees. Procedures and processing periods depend on the purchase method and outlet. Fans who must request refunds or supply bank details have until December 15; automatic refunds require no action.
G-Dragon also expressed disappointment on social media while emphasising the need to put safety first. The interrupted show was the second of two Bangkok concerts; the opening performance went ahead without disruption. Both dates formed part of BIGBANG’s XX: COSMOS world tour marking its 20th anniversary.
