As part of the group’s Japanese dome concert tour, the five hallyu stars of K-pop idol group Big Bang performed in front of 30,000 screaming Japanese fans on the tour’s Osaka stop, selling out the weekend performances.

The three-day, three-hour long concerts held at the Kyocera Dome were the second leg of the group’s six-city, 15-concert “Big Bang Japan Dome Tour 2013-2014.” The tour kicked off with two performances at the Seibu Dome in Saitama on Nov. 16 and 17 and will soon take the artists to the Fukuoka Yahoo! JAPAN Dome on Dec. 7 and 8, the Nagoya Dome in Aichi, the Tokyo Dome and Sapporo Dome in Hokkaido. Big Bang will wrap up the tour by returning to the Kyocera Dome in Osaka to host two more concerts on Jan. 11 and 12. Organizers estimate that the Dome Tour will attract around 720,000 fans.

Aside from the group’s Japan tour, Big Bang will also put on two special concert performances for its local fans on Jan. 25 and 26 at Seoul Olympic Park’s Gymnastics Stadium.
