BTS are officially back — and they’re returning on a scale never seen before in K-pop. Today, the global superstars announced their long-awaited 2026–2027 World Tour, a colossal run that will span 34 regions, 79 shows, and multiple continents, marking their first headline performances together since 2022. Promoted by Live Nation, the tour is already being billed as the largest global K-pop tour of all time — and for fans, securing tickets early will be crucial.
Before the general rush begins, presale access through ARMY Membership is the key route for fans hoping to guarantee their place.
A Global Comeback — Starting at Home
The tour launches on Thursday, April 9, 2026, with three landmark nights in Goyang, South Korea, before moving on to Tokyo. From there, BTS head to North America, kicking off with their first-ever shows in Tampa, Florida, playing back-to-back nights at Raymond James Stadium on April 25 and 26.
What follows is a truly global takeover. The tour rolls through Europe and the UK, with major multi-night stadium stops planned in London, Paris, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Mexico City, and more. Every city on the itinerary will host multiple shows, underlining the unprecedented demand BTS continue to command worldwide.
Later in 2026, the group will expand into Latin America and Asia, including first-ever BTS performances in Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Kaohsiung, before wrapping this historic run in Australia with shows in Melbourne and Sydney in early 2027.
A Stadium Experience Like No Other
Adding to the scale, the tour will feature a 360-degree, in-the-round stage design, placing ARMY at the heart of the performance while maximising stadium capacity. It’s a bold, immersive setup designed to match the ambition of a tour redefining the limits of live K-pop.
The run also brings a string of historic firsts: BTS will headline Sun Bowl Stadium (El Paso) and Gillette Stadium (Foxborough) for the first time ever, become only the second act to perform at Stanford Stadium, and make their long-awaited debut at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. They’ll also play Madrid and Brussels for the first time, and deliver the first K-pop shows at venues including AT&T Stadium (Arlington) and M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore).
