After a four-year hiatus, superstar K-pop group BTS announced their would tour following the release of their newest album in March. All seven members of BTS, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook, will return to the stage on April 9, 2026.
BTS announced their hiatus in June 2022 so that some of their members could work on solo music projects and complete their mandatory military service.
In South Korea, it is law that all able-bodied men must serve 18-21 months in the Korean military between the ages 18 and 28, but due to BTS’ success, this law was revised. The new law stated that K-pop stars and entertainers could postpone their service until age 30.
BTS will start their tour in Goyang, South Korea, performing for two nights before making their way to Tokyo. They will then stop in five U.S. cities before making their way to Europe, with a pit-stop in South Korea on the way. The band will then return to North America for five more stops.
This tour is huge for South American fans. BTS will stop in the capitals of Colombia, Peru, Chile, and Argentina. The group will then stop in Sao Paulo, Brazil, to commence their time on the continent.
The band is also performing shows across Southeast Asia and has two stops in Australia. The tour will wrap on March 14 in Manila, Philippines.
Tickets for BTS ARMY members will go live on January 22, and will continue for select concerts on January 23. Tickets for the general public will go on sale on January 24 on LiveNation.com.
