Global K-pop phenomenon BTS has officially announced its long-awaited return to the world stage, unveiling a massive 2026–2027 world tour that will span more than 70 dates across five continents, marking the group’s first full concert run since 2022.
The tour will begin in South Korea in April 2026 and conclude in March 2027, taking the seven-member group across Asia, North America, South America, Europe and Australia. The announcement signals the group’s full reunion after a nearly four-year hiatus caused by South Korea’s mandatory military service.
The upcoming tour will be BTS’s first headline concert series since the “Permission to Dance on Stage” tour in 2021–22, which was curtailed by pandemic restrictions.
The news follows confirmation from BigHit Music, a subsidiary of HYBE, that BTS will release new music on March 20, 2026, formally launching their comeback.
All seven members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook have now completed national service. Rapper Suga, who served as a social service agent due to a shoulder injury, was the last to be discharged in June 2025.
Ticket sales for the tour will begin with an exclusive ARMY Membership presale on January 22 and 23 via Weverse, followed by a global general sale on January 24.
The tour will open in Goyang, South Korea, before moving to major cities including Tokyo, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Toronto, Mexico City, São Paulo, Singapore, Jakarta, Sydney and Hong Kong, reflecting BTS’s continued dominance as one of the world’s biggest touring acts.
Industry analysts say the scale of the tour underlines the group’s unmatched global reach, with BTS expected to draw millions of fans and generate billions of dollars in ticket and merchandise sales.
With new music on the way and one of the largest world tours ever planned by a K-pop group, BTS’s comeback is being widely viewed as one of the biggest entertainment events of the decade.
