KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • K-pop band BTS announced a 2026-2027 world tour, starting in South Korea in April, on Tuesday.
  • The tour includes over 70 dates across Asia, North America, South America and Europe.
  • Presale for ARMY members on Weverse is Jan. 22-23; general tickets go on sale starting Jan. 24.

NEW YORK — The BTS comeback is upon us.

The K-pop septet has announced a 2026-2027 world tour, kicking off in South Korea in April and running through March 2027 with over 70 dates across Asia, North America, South America, Australia and Europe.

They mark the group's first headline performances since their 2021-22 "Permission to Dance on Stage" tour.

A presale will take place Jan. 22 and Jan. 23 for ARMY Membership holders who register on Weverse, an online fan platform owned by BTS management company HYBE. A general sale for all regions will follow on Jan. 24.

The news arrives a few weeks after the entertainment company BigHit Music revealed that BTS will make their return to music on March 20, following a nearly four-year hiatus. That's because all seven members of BTS — RM, Jin, Jimin, V, Suga, Jung Kook and j-hope — had to complete South Korea's mandatory military service.

Rapper Suga was the last group member to be released, from his duties as a social service agent, an alternative to serving in the military that he reportedly chose due to a shoulder injury. That was in June 2025.

The six others, RM, V, Jimin, Jung Kook, Jin and j-hope, served in the army.
