Big Bang Bikin Merinding

Big Bang to hold ‘ALIVE TOUR 2012′ around the world through Live Nation!

We’ve just been informed that Big Bang will be holding their very first world tour, titled ‘ALIVE TOUR 2012‘ this year through Live Nation.

 Fans will finally have their wishes come true, as the 5-member boy band will make various stops at different cities. Our sources at YG Entertainment have informed us that Big Bang will perform in 25 cities in 16 countries.

From March 2nd to the 4th, Big Bang will open their world tour in the Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastic Stadium. Following these shows, the group will tour 16 countries, 25 cities, in Asia, North America, South America, and Europe.

By working with Live Nation, the tour will be brought to a higher level in terms of the scale of directing. As Live Nation has helped world tours for Madonna and U2, Big Bang is the first Asian singers to earn the help of Live Nation with the joint investment and production team. Live Nation is recently a promotion agent for K-pop singers in 1-2 regions in America and Europe.

Live Nation’s president, Alan Ridgeway, stated, “We are very happy that we are working with YG Entertainment and Big Bang to show [our work] to worldwide K-pop fans. If this performance is a good starting point for the Korea branch we established last December, we expect it to contribute to the K-pop fever expansion.”

It’s been confirmed that the producer Laurieann Gibson will be taking the lead position as director. Laurieann Gibson is a well-known director, choreographer, actress, and creative director. She is known most recently for directing Lady Gaga‘s ‘The Monster Ball Tour’, in addition to choreographing “Poker Face”, “Judas”, and “Telephone”. She has also worked with top stars like Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, and Katy Perry.

In addition, stage/lighting designer, Leroy Bennett, will help put in his efforts for the world tour as he has previously worked with Madonna, Paul McCartney, and Eagles. In addition, Ken Van Druten will work as the sound director, who has previosuly helped Eminem, J-Jay, and Linkin Park.  The visual contents producing team, Possible Productions, will also join in preparing for Big Bang’s World Tour.

YG Entertainment relayed, “We are in the process of preparing the world’s best concert with the best production team to equal the anticipation of the world fans who are waiting for the first concert they will get to meet Big Bang … With the newly released album and the starting of the worldd tour, you will be able to confirm Big Bang’s maturity and skill.”

More information on the world tour will be released in the future, so stay tuned to allkpop for more details!

Berita di atas saya kutip langsung dari sini. Awalnya saya mendapat whatsapp dari teman saya, Oye, "Aduuuhh pagi pagi gini liat timeline si allkpop bikin mupeng bin ngarep si big bang bakalan mampir kemari." Saya pun membalas, "Menuju tekape." Lalu... jeng jeng jeng.. Saya temukanlah berita di atas. Dan benar saja kata Oye, bikin mupeng cing! Berharap mereka bisa mampir ke sini dan pastinya HARUS NONTON. Bodo deh kalau harus ngutang lagi sama bokap, padahal utang kemarin baru dibayar 200 ribu. Hahaha.. Berita ini bikin ngga konsen kerja nih. Hihihi..

Ada hal yang menggelikan ketika baca itu, saya merinding cing! *gila lo, gres!* Saya merinding karena di situ dikasih tau kalo nggarap itu orang-orang bule yang punya pengalaman kerja sama dengan selebritis-selebritis dunia. Gila cing! Baru baca tentang rencananya saja bikin saya merinding, gimana kalau saya nonton konsernya langsung. Haaaaa..

Mangkenye kalau sampai ada promotor Indonesia yang bawa Big Bang ke Jekarte, SAYA HARUS NONTON. Yaah paling kalau ternyata mereka tidak ke Indonesia, setidaknya ke Singapura atau Malaysia lah. Mungkin saya dan Oye bakalan nekat lagi macam Korean Wave di Singapura tahun lalu. Hehehe.. Namun saya masih tetep berharap diadain di sini sih, biar ngga nambah duit-duit lagi. Kalau konser di sini kan, setidaknya saya masih bisa beli tiket yang mahal. Amin.
