The global K-pop sensation BTS is officially back and ready to take the world by storm. The seven-member supergroup announced a massive 2026–2027 world tour this week, their first since a hiatus in which all members fulfilled South Korea’s mandatory military service. The tour kicks off in April 2026 with three shows in Seoul’s Goyang Stadium and will span 79 concerts across Asia, North America, South America, Europe, and Australia through March 2027. Notably, BTS have scheduled multi-night stands in many cities – including a four-night takeover of Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium on September 1, 2, 5, and 6, 2026 – signaling just how high demand will be for their return.
BTS’s label, BigHit Music, confirmed that the group will also drop new music on March 20, 2026, to coincide with their official comeback. From there, the tour’s North American leg launches in late April with U.S. stops in Tampa, El Paso, Chicago and more. In total, the “Dynamite” hitmakers will visit 34 cities, hitting major venues like New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium and London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time. Promoters are billing it as the biggest K-pop tour ever, complete with an in-the-round 360° stage design to immerse stadium crowds in the action.
This trek will mark BTS’s first live concerts as a full group since their Permission to Dance on Stage shows in 2021–22. A presale for fan club members (the BTS ARMY) opens January 22, with general tickets to follow on January 24. The news has already sent fans worldwide into a frenzy; after nearly four years away from the spotlight, BTS’s long-awaited comeback tour is shaping up to be one for the history books.
