BigBang Show in Bangkok Halted by Storm

Organisers cited lightning plus damaged stage equipment as making the site unsafe, promised full refunds, with the tour set to resume in Hong Kong.

Overview

  • A torrential storm forced BigBang to stop their Bangkok stadium concert mid-performance on Nov. 8 after organisers deemed conditions unsafe.
  • The three members — G‑Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung — continued briefly in heavy rain before the storm intensified and damaged stage equipment, prompting the shutdown.
  • Band members apologised to the audience at the venue and G‑Dragon posted on social media urging fans to prioritise their safety and expressing regret.
  • Promoter iMe Thailand and venue officials announced full refunds for all ticket holders and set a refund process with a Dec. 15 deadline for some claims.
  • The interruption pauses the XX: Cosmos 20th‑anniversary world tour but organisers say the run will resume in Hong Kong on Nov. 13, with the Bangkok stop recorded as an isolated weather-related disruption.
