G-Dragon excited fans gathered in Birmingham and London this weekend, kicking off his first European tour.

The K-pop superstar held concerts at Genting Arena and The SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, according to YG Entertainment.

The Wembley Arena concert was like a blast from the past for the artist who had performed at the iconic venue with Big Bang in 2012. Sunday’s concert also marked the first time for G-Dragon to perform in London as a solo artist.

G-Dragon started off the night with “Heartbreaker,” and proceeded with smash hits like “One of a Kind” and “Crayon” before capping off the event with “Untitled, 2014.”

The artist will continue his tour by performing in Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin.

One of the most popular and iconic figures in K-pop, G-Dragon has an almost incomparable impact on the scene with his versatility, ranging from singing, producing and songwriting to being a fashion icon.

Riding on the massive success of Big Bang, G-Dragon commenced his just-as-impressive solo career in 2009 with “Heartbreaker,” which won album of the year at Mnet Asian Music Awards.
