The Made World Tour (stylized as MADE World Tour)[1] was the second worldwide concert tour and ninth overall by South Korean boy band Big Bang, in support of their third Korean-language studio album Made (2016).[2][3] The tour began on April 25, 2015 and concluded on March 6, 2016 in Seoul, South Korea. It visited 15 countries including China, Japan, Australia, Mexico, and the United States.[4]

Background

The tour was first announced on April 1, 2015 with the announcement of the first two concerts in Seoul on April 25 and 26. On April 16, the first trailer of the tour was released on YouTube. On April 27, the remainder of the Asian leg was revealed with a total of 30 shows. In July, nine shows were confirmed in Mexico, Australia, Canada, Taiwan and Macau. It was the first time for the group to visit Mexico, Australia, Canada and Macau.[5][6][7]

It was also revealed a highly acclaimed crew would be joining the tour, including LeRoy Bennett, Ed Burke, Gil Smith II, and Jonathan Lia. They previously worked with Beyoncé and Jay-Z on their On The Run Tour as well as with Big Bang during their Alive Galaxy Tour.[8][9]

Reception

Commercial

For the first shows in Seoul, all 26,000 tickets sold out in a matter of minutes, resulting in server crashes due to high traffic.[10] In Mainland China, Big Bang gathered a record-breaking 280,000 people in attendance from 13 shows,[11] with sold-out shows in Guangzhou,[12] Beijing,[13] Shanghai,[14] Dalian[15] and Wuhan. Further sold-out shows include all three shows in Hong Kong,[16] two nights in Macau leading to a third show being added,[17] and Toronto.[18]

In Singapore, demand was so high that "audio seats" were put on sale after regular tickets quickly sold out.[19] In Malaysia, hundreds of fans lined up in advance to purchase tickets for the July 25 concert, which eventually sold out in a matter of hours. Due to high demand, a second show was added on July 24.[20][21] In Australia, a second show was added in Sydney after high demand.[22]

The tour listed on Pollstar's year end list, on the Top 200 North American Tours, Big Bang ranked at number 126 and earned $7.8 million from four shows.[23] The concerts in Macau grossed $5.3 million, and ranked the group at number 41 on the Top 100 International Boxoffice Grosses of the year.[24]

The tour received universal acclaim from music critics. Jon Caramanica from The New York Times called Big Bang the "Smooth K-Pop Criminals"[25] and described the concert as an "extreme, intense, overwhelming Korean pop carnival",[26] listing it as one of the best tours in 2015.[27] Bryan Armen Graham of the The Guardian gave the Newark concert four out of five stars and begin he's review by saying Big Bang deliver fully realised pop at it's sophisticated peak , describing it as "K-pop heroes delivering candyfloss hooks with a sharp edge" while praising all five members' individual talents.[28] The Los Angeles Times described Big Bang as "One of the most inventive, aesthetically visionary acts in its genre" and called their Anaheim concert an "incredibly significant moment for K-Pop", praising the diversity of their songs and performances.[29] Grantland's Rembert Browne remarked that Big Bang is "a boy band that in reality is a supergroup", praising each member's musical idiosyncrasies, saying "It's terrifying how good each member is".[30] Billboard gave the concert a 4.5/5, calling Big Bang "five individuals that are separately complex, but together an undeniable supergroup" and stating how the group are still redefining what a boy band is today, and how they shine as a collective and on an individual, human basis.[31] Writing for The Michigan Daily, Allen Donne said Big Bang "is one of those musical entities that transcends language", a rare group that "both innovates and defines the direction a genre takes" and described the concert as an "electric, out-of-body experience" as well saying he was "lucky enough to witness this larger-than-life Korean pop group".[32]

Other reviews from the tour included Maria Sherman writing for The Village Voice. Sherman described the show as unique and "unlike anything in the western pop schema" saying that the concert "served to reflect the rainbow spectrum of human emotion".[33] Julianne Shepherd of the Jezebel described the concert as "the true definition of a spectacular" and stated they "have never seen a group nail being a boy band the way Big Bang did, playing up each member's individual strengths and personalities but also flawless when it came time to come together as a unit".[34] David Lee from the Vibe called Big Bang the "Kings of K-Pop" and praised their solo performances as the most interesting moments of the night, and naming the solo stages of the members as the one of the most interesting moments of the night, praising the group solo diversity from giving nightclub vibes with Seungri, Daesung's feel-good rock anthem, T.O.P's rebellion stage, Taeyang's ballad hit to G-Dragon ending it with pop song, and described it as an "amazing thing to witness".[35] Gwendolyn Ng writing for the The Straits Times opened the review with "Big Bang brings on the party with fancy moves, solid vocals and off-the-wall humour", and the live performance was "explosive" and stated that "Their solid vocals powered them through emotive ballads, high octane dance tunes and fiery rapping".[36] Cassandra Monjo from the the AU review ended her positive review by saying "A fantastic concert by a fantastic group of talented individuals! From the lighting to the musical direction, everything about this show was exactly what I'd expect from BIGBANG: top quality".[37] Siau Ming En from Today Online wrote on their review that the megastars Big Bang "wowed the Singapore crowd with not just their powerhouse moves on stage but also their seasoned and cheeky banter.[38] Melanie Leung of the YP began her article stating concert as the "Hong Kong’s most anticipated show of the year", praising "Their sleek costumes stood out against the blasting fireworks, and every dance move was slick as they delivered a string of hits".[39]
