The Last Dance Tour is the sixth concert tour in Japan and eleventh overall by South Korean boy band Big Bang. The tour began on November 18, 2017 in Fukuoka, Japan and concluded on December 31, 2017 in Seoul, South Korea. Big Bang broke their own record by being the only foreign act to hold a dome-sized arena tour in Japan for the fifth consecutive year.[1] The oldest member T.O.P will not perform on this tour due to his mandatory military service in South Korea which began in February 2017.
YG Entertainment announced on August 8, 2017 that Big Bang will be holding their last tour in Japan before their upcoming hiatus due to South Korean mandatory military conscription. On the Last Dance Tour, Big Bang became the very first foreign artist in Japan to hold a dome tour for the fifth consecutive year.[1] Big Bang performed 14 concerts across four cities: Fukuoka, Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo; a total of 696,000 fans attended the Japanese leg. As a result, Big Bang's Dome Tour since 2013 attracted a total of 4,205,500 fans, a record for overseas singers.[2][3][4][5] On October 19, the final shows of the tour was announced to be held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on December 30 and 31.[6] Two shows from the tour, the Tokyo Dome concert on December 13 and the Seoul concert on December 30 is due to be broadcast live across 109 cinemas in Japan.[7][8]
