Boy group Big Bang will go on the ‘Big Bang Alive Tour 2012′ world tour


On February 7, YG Entertainment said that Big Bang will hold concerts in 25 cities in 16 countries, including Asia, North America, South America, and Europe, starting on March 2 at Olympic Park in Seoul.


Live Nation, world wide entertainment company, will help Big Bang complete their first world tour. The company is a world renowned company, who has held concerts for many artists, including Madonna and U2.


This is the first time the best direction team has helped an Asian singer by jointly investing and producing the concerts.


Alan Ridgeway, president of Live Nation International, says, “We are very happy to join with YG Entertainment and Big Bang to present the group to K-pop fans all over the world. This will be a good start for our Korean branch and we will help spread K-pop fever.”


International director Laurieann Gibson is a general manager for Big Bang’s tour. He is a world wide creative director who directs, creates choreography, and acts as well. He was also the general manager for Lady GaGa’s ‘The Moster Ball Tour.’


He created dance moves for Lady GaGa’s “Poker Face,” “Judas,” and “Telephone.” He has also worked with world famous stars, including Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, and Katy Perry.


Big Bang’s world tour is adding behind the scenes star-power in the form of stage and light designer, Leroy Bennett, who has worked with Madonna and Paul McCartney, as well as Ken Van Druten, who was in charge of sound for Eminem and Linkin Park’s concerts, and Possible Production, a visual contents production team.


YG Entertainment says, “We are working hard to hold the best concert with the best staff. The tour will start when Big Bang’s new album is released. People will see how mature Big Bang members’ abilities are.”


Big Bang will be back performing with their fifth mini album Alive on February 29.
