BTS has confirmed the details of their 2026–27 World Tour, a sprawling concert that returns the global supergroup to live performance after a near four-year group hiatus. The tour will include 79 shows in 34 cities across five continents, with dates running from April 9, 2026, in Goyang, South Korea, through March 14, 2027, in Manila – with more dates still yet to come.
The upcoming trek represents BTS’ first full-group stadium tour since the Permission to Dance on Stage concerts in 2022 and promises to be one of the largest live events in K-pop history. BigHit Music and Live Nation confirmed that the tour will feature an immersive 360-degree “in-the-round” stage design, placing the band at the center of the arena for audiences on all sides — a format that enhances visibility and allows for expanded capacity at each venue.
Notable dates already announced include multi-night stadium stops in South Korea and Tokyo Dome (Japan), followed by North American stadium shows in MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford), SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles), Stanford Stadium (Bay Area) and Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas). The U.S. leg also includes dates at Gillette Stadium (Foxborough), M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore) and AT&T Stadium (Arlington).
Europe will see stops in Madrid, Brussels, London, Munich and Paris, while Latin America features shows in Bogotá, Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires and São Paulo. The final legs traverse Asia and Australia, with concerts scheduled in Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Melbourne and Sydney among others. More dates in Japan and the Middle East are said to be announced soon.
Ticket presales for BTS’ fan club – known as ARMY – are scheduled for January 22–23, with general public sales opening January 24 through official platforms including Ticketmaster and SeatGeek.
Alongside the tour announcement, BTS confirmed the release of a new studio album on March 20, 2026 – their first full group record since the 2022 anthology Proof, which debuted at No. 1 in multiple countries and has amassed billions of streams worldwide. Proof served as a retrospective project, while this upcoming 14-track album will reflect fresh creative input from all seven members as they reunite musically for the first time since completing military service.
The scale of BTS’ comeback — combining a major new album with a record-setting world tour — highlighted the extraordinary excitement of their ever-growing fanbase despite the long pause and is expected to rival that of the biggest tours in history.
