BTS Announces Monumental 2026-2027 World Tour and New Album 'ARIRANG'

The upcoming tour marks BTS's first headline shows since their 2021-22 Permission to Dance on Stage performances, which hit major hubs like London, Tokyo, and Los Angeles.

Spanning Asia, North America, South America, Australia, and Europe, the 2026-2027 tour ensures a massive global footprint for the group.

BigHit Music confirmed a March 20 return date, signaling the end of the group's significant hiatus.

All seven members have now completed their mandatory South Korean military service, with rapper Suga concluding his duties as a social service agent in June 2025.

His release clears the path for a full reunion and the launch of their fifth album, 'ARIRANG', on March 20, 2025.

The collective return of RM, Jin, Jimin, V, Suga, Jung Kook, and j-hope marks a major milestone following their individual service commitments.

Presale tickets for ARMY Membership holders go live January 22 and 23, with the general sale for all regions following on January 24.

The grueling itinerary includes over 70 dates, with stops in Goyang, Stanford, Busan, Arlington, Bogotá, and Melbourne.

Industry analysts expect record-breaking demand for tickets, fueled by the group's extended break and unparalleled international reach.

BigHit Music projects a substantial revenue boost from the tour, which will feature innovative staging and high-scale production values.

The group's hiatus has lasted nearly four years since their last collective studio release, 'Proof', in 2022.

Their March 20 return is a flashpoint for the global fanbase, positioning the 2026-2027 world tour as a career-defining milestone for the septet.

BTS is now set to reclaim their global momentum, marking a new era for the world's biggest group.
