BTS are officially back — and on an unprecedented scale. The global K-pop phenomenon has unveiled plans for a massive world tour stretching across 2026 and 2027, alongside confirmation of a long-awaited new studio album set for release this spring.
Marking their first full group comeback since 2020, the tour will span 79 concerts across 34 regions, making it the most extensive live run ever announced by a South Korean artist. The announcement comes after months of speculation from fans following the group’s reunion after completing mandatory military service.
A New Era Begins With a Global Stadium Tour
The tour kicks off in April 2026 with multiple hometown shows in Goyang, South Korea, before moving on to Tokyo, then expanding into a sprawling multi-continent journey covering Asia, North America, Europe, South America and Australia.
One of the most talked-about elements of the tour is its 360-degree, in-the-round stage design, created to place fans closer to the performance while allowing for increased stadium capacity. The immersive production signals BTS’ ambition to elevate their live shows beyond traditional arena setups.
North America, Europe and Latin America Highlights
North America will host the tour’s largest regional run, featuring 28 shows across 12 cities. Stops include Tampa, El Paso, Mexico City, Stanford, Las Vegas, East Rutherford, Toronto, Chicago and a four-night finale in Los Angeles.
European dates are scheduled for early summer, with performances confirmed in Madrid, Brussels, London, Munich and Paris, while October 2026 will see BTS headline major stadiums across Latin America, including Bogotá, Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires and São Paulo.
Asia-Pacific Dates Extend Into 2027
The tour continues through Asia-Pacific later in 2026 and into early 2027, with shows announced in Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, Hong Kong and the Philippines. Additional cities in Japan and the Middle East are expected to be revealed in future updates.
New BTS Album Confirmed for March
The world tour coincides with BTS’ upcoming studio album, scheduled for release on March 20. While the album title remains under wraps, it will mark the group’s first all-new collective project since Be (2020).
In previous messages to fans, the members emphasized that the album reflects a return to their roots, shaped equally by all seven voices. “This time, it truly feels like we’re starting again together,” the group shared, hinting at a more personal and unified creative direction.
Ticket Sales and Fan Presales
Tickets for all announced dates will go on general sale on January 24, with ARMY Membership holders receiving early access through presales on January 22–23. Venue details for select cities will be revealed closer to each show.
