G-Dragon performed two sold-out shows at Newark's Prudential Center on Aug. 22 and Aug. 23, drawing about 16,000 attendees. He performed 20 songs including many from his new album Ubermensch plus classic hits, backed by a live band and a talented dance team. He wore a golden gown and a rose-covered jacket while standing on a pedestal amid pyrotechnics, confetti, and dramatic colored lighting. He paid homage to Western icons with covers of The Jackson 5 and Justin Timberlake songs. Fans traveled from New York and beyond to witness the theatrical, high-energy performances.

The entire arc of his performance, featuring 20 songs, many of which were from his new album Ubermensch, along with several classic hits, was told in a dramatic sequence of colors.
From crimson lights emphasized with flames during Home Sweet Home to bursts of confetti in Crayon, G-Dragon held the crowd in the palm of his hand. As the King of K-Pop, G-Dragon made sure to pay homage to Western icons with The Jackson 5's I Want You Back during his performance of Who You? and Justin Timberlake's Like I Love You with his song Too Bad.
Once again, this summer, thousands made the pilgrimage from the Big Apple across the Hudson River to Newark's Prudential Center for an opportunity to see the POWER of G-Dragon in person and with a live band. Today is the first day, first show of the 2025 Ubermensch World tour, G-Dragon told the adoring crowd. I'm so glad to be back. It's been eight years, it's been a long time, but we are here now.
