The BIGO Awards Gala 2026 is officially set for January 23, streaming directly on the BIGO LIVE app to celebrate our top global broadcasters and community. This annual flagship event gathers hosts, users, and partners from our platform—which now connects over 600 million users across 150 countries—to honor their achievements and showcase exclusive live performances featuring K-Pop stars FIFTY FIFTY and tripleS.
What is the BIGO Awards Gala?
The BIGO Awards Gala is our signature annual event. It is where we recognize the most active and successful broadcasters, families, and partners from the past year. While the offline event happens in a physical venue, the core experience is the global livestream. This allows our entire community to watch the ceremony, support their favorite hosts, and enjoy top-tier entertainment in real-time.
The 2026 Lineup: K-Pop Takes the Stage
This year, we are thrilled to announce that two major K-Pop groups will perform at the gala, turning the awards ceremony into a must-watch concert event.
FIFTY FIFTY
Global fans know FIFTY FIFTY from their massive hit "Cupid," which broke into the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. With over 230 million views on YouTube and widespread popularity on TikTok, their sound has captured listeners worldwide. You can watch them perform live on our gala stage.
tripleS
Known for their unique fan-participation system and unit activities, tripleS brings a fresh energy to the lineup. With hits like "Rising" and "Girls Never Die," they have built a strong following. Their performance at the gala is set to be a highlight for K-Pop fans.

While the online stream is open to everyone, attending the physical event is by invitation only. Invitations were awarded based on results from specific in-app events. Selected invitees received a gala entry ticket, hotel accommodations, limited edition "Hanbok Dino" merchandise, and in-app beans.
For the vast majority of our community, the app is the place to be. In previous years (like the 2025 gala), user feedback highlighted that the real-time chat features made the online experience feel immersive and connected, bridging the gap between the stage and the screen.
