Maybe Garth Brooks is taking cues from the K-Pop band Big Bang as he plans his comeback tour, continually adding dates at every city he announces. The group, which plays host to G-Dragon among others, has set a high mark for itself by adding a few more dates for this year's Japanese tour.
The band announced Saturday (via AllKPop.com) that it had added three more dates to the five city Big Bang Japan Dome Tour, bringing its total to 14 shows overall. That makes the group the first to play at five separate Japanese domes for consecutive years, fairly impressive considering the number of bands that are, excuse us, "big in Japan."
"All the members are looking forward to meeting the fans through the Japanese dome tour this year as well," the aforementioned band leader said in a statement. "We're working hard to put on an even more sophisticated and powerful stage than last year, so please look forward to it. At the end of this year, we hope you make the hottest place on earth with us."
The three dates added were all for Osaka and the Kyocera Dome, a venue that typically hosts the city's professional baseball team. That brings the total for the tour to seven gigs at the venue, marking the highest total number of gigs every played at the venue during one tour. Numbers provided by AllKPop suggested that, assuming the final three Osaka dates will sell out (and we're fairly sure that they will), the total number of fans served during the tour will be nearly 700,000, a crazy amount for the small number of gigs being played.
As many an American rapper has said: "Get money."
