BIGBANG Taipei Dome: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Taipei)

Two nights under Taipei’s new roof

BIGBANG plays the Taipei Dome on October 10 and 11, 2026. Both dates fall in the year the group marks two decades since its 2006 debut with YG Entertainment. For many fans that is reason enough to fly in.

The venue is part of the story too. Taipei Dome opened at the end of 2023 as Taiwan’s first enclosed stadium. It has a fixed roof, so rain stops nothing. Indoors, the whole bowl fills with the yellow glow of crown-shaped lightsticks held by the fandom, known as VIPs.

Dates and what is confirmed

What’s known is short:

• Dates: Saturday October 10 and Sunday October 11, 2026
• Venue: Taipei Dome, Xinyi District, Taipei
• Artist: BIGBANG

Start times, the members appearing, seating maps and ticket tiers are not listed here. BIGBANG’s lineup has changed over the years, so check which members are billed before you book flights around one of them. Confirm timing, lineup and tickets on the official site and the authorised ticketing platform.

One date detail matters for planning. October 10 is Double Ten, Taiwan’s National Day and a public holiday. Hotels around Xinyi and the MRT both carry holiday crowds that weekend, on top of a sold-out stadium.

Getting to the Taipei Dome

Take the MRT. That is the honest answer for a crowd this size.

• Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Station (Blue/Bannan Line, BL17): Exit 5 has an underground connection to the dome complex. This is the main route, so it is also the most crowded.
• Taipei City Hall Station (BL18): one stop east, about a 15-minute walk. Worth it after the show.
• Zhongxiao Dunhua Station (BL16): one stop west, a similar walk through the Dunhua shopping streets.

Load an EasyCard or use a contactless bank card at the gates; both work across the MRT and city buses. Taxis and ride-hail cars face road closures and gridlock around Zhongxiao East Road after big events. Plan to walk a few blocks before you flag one down.

Inside the dome

Taipei Dome seats roughly 40,000 for baseball, the sport it was built for. Concert configurations put the stage at one end and add floor seating. Upper-tier seats are steep and high, so pack small binoculars if your ticket is near the top.

The complex has a shopping mall attached, with restaurants and convenience stores that help with long waits for merchandise. Bag rules, camera policy and lightstick rules are set per show. Read the event notice on the ticketing page rather than assuming what applied at another concert.

Concert-day manners in Taipei

Taiwan takes ticket rules seriously, and your concert day goes better if you know how.

• Buy only through authorised sellers. Taiwan amended its law in 2022 to penalise scalping. Resale tickets can be voided, and real-name entry is common at large shows. Carry the ID that matches your ticket name.
• Expect order in the queues. Lines for merch and entry are long, but people keep to them. Staff with signs mark where each line ends, so look for the sign rather than the gap.
• Arrive early for merch. Lines usually form hours before doors open.
• Leave slowly. After the encore, tens of thousands head for Exit 5 at once. Sit a few minutes, or walk to Taipei City Hall Station instead.
• Keep the MRT rules. Eating and drinking are banned past the fare gates, including water and gum, and fines are enforced. Finish your bubble tea outside.

Around the venue

The dome sits in one of Taipei’s easiest neighbourhoods to spend a spare afternoon.

• Songshan Cultural and Creative Park: next door, in a former 1930s tobacco factory. It has design shops, exhibitions, and the Eslite Spectrum bookshop and store.
• Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall: a short walk south, with a hilltop-style hall and open plaza. The changing of the guard happens here.
• Taipei 101: about 20 minutes on foot, or two stops on the Red Line from Taipei City Hall area via Xiangshan.
• Raohe Street Night Market: a quick taxi or bus ride northeast, open late and good for a post-show meal of pepper buns and grilled sausages.

October weather in Taipei is usually warm and humid, and late-season typhoons are possible. The show is indoors, but the MRT lines and merch queues are not. Pack a light rain layer and check the Central Weather Administration forecast before you travel.
