Korea’s iconic Kpop group Big Bang will be coming to Hawaii for their VIP Tour Oct. 22 at the Neil Blaisdell Center. The Honolulu event is the only North American event scheduled so far. To date, there have been 21 shows in China, four shows in Hong Kong, two shows in Macao, two shows in Taipei, and one show in Kaohsiung. More shows are scheduled in Singapore today, and Bangkok (Oct 29-30). Unlike the traditional concerts, the ‘2016 BIGBANG MADE [V.I.P] Tour’ offers fans an interactive and unforgettable “fan meeting” experience with live engagements, games, and mini concert.

The promoter-Live Nation says: “Main difference between Fan Meeting and concert is that fans are able to see more natural and mischievous BIGBANG that can’t be seen during the full concert. During the fan meeting session, BIGBANG members will joke on themselves and be more relaxing as they don’t need to show ‘charismatic’ BIGBANG while they play games. Also, five lucky fans could get chance to play games together with BIGBANG members on stage by being partners with BIGBANG.”

There are three ticket tiers for this event: $219, $189, and $149. Both $219 and $189 tiers are now sold out, but $149 tickets are still available on ticketmaster.com.
