The K-pop boy band giants Big Bang recently performed in front of more than 24,000 fans at the Wembley Arena in London on Dec. 14 and 15, in the biggest solo K-pop concert the United Kingdom has ever had.

The boys were originally only scheduled to hold one show, but due to popular demand, a second concert was added. The concert was part of the group’s ongoing worldwide tour, “Alive Galaxy Tour 2012,” which has brought more than 40 performances across the globe in 13 countries in Asia, North and South Americas and Europe since the tour began in March.

Big Bang is scheduled to perform next in Japan at the Fukuoka Dome on Dec. 22 and at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka on Jan. 12 and 13. The final three shows will be held at the Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium in Seoul on Jan. 25-27.
