After years of anticipation from a global fanbase, BTS have formally confirmed their return to the concert stage with a vast world tour spanning 2026 and 2027. The announcement signals a defining moment in modern pop, marking the group’s first full-scale headline tour together since the conclusion of Permission To Dance On Stage in 2022 and their subsequent period of military service and solo activity.
The newly announced BTS World Tour will extend across 34 regions and 79 shows, positioning it as the largest tour of the group’s career and one of the most ambitious undertakings ever mounted by a K-pop act. Promoted by Live Nation, the tour opens with three consecutive nights at Goyang Stadium in South Korea on April 9, 11 and 12, before moving immediately into Japan with dates at Tokyo Dome.
From there, BTS will head to North America, launching the continental run with their first-ever performances in Tampa, Florida across two nights at Raymond James Stadium. The North American leg continues with multi-night stadium engagements in cities including El Paso, Mexico City, Stanford, Las Vegas, East Rutherford, Foxborough, Baltimore, Arlington, Toronto, Chicago and Los Angeles, underscoring the scale at which the group now operates.
Europe and the UK follow, with BTS scheduled to make their debut performances in Madrid and Brussels and a landmark first appearance at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Stops in Munich and Paris further reinforce the tour’s stadium-only footprint, a level BTS have consistently occupied since redefining the global touring ceiling for K-pop earlier in the decade.
Later in the year, the tour expands into Latin America and Asia, including first-ever BTS concerts in Bogotá, Buenos Aires and Kaohsiung. The itinerary then rolls into 2027 with shows planned across Southeast Asia and a return to Australia, where BTS will perform multiple nights in Melbourne and Sydney. Venue and ticketing details for Australia, Asia and Latin America are expected to be announced at a later date.
A central feature of the tour is a 360-degree, in-the-round stadium stage design. The immersive production places the audience around the performance space, maximising capacity while reinforcing the communal experience that has become integral to BTS live shows. The format builds on concepts first explored during earlier stadium runs and elevates them to a new technical scale.
Historically, BTS have reshaped what is commercially and culturally possible for Korean pop on the world stage. Formed in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment, the group built early momentum through socially conscious songwriting and a hands-on creative approach that distinguished them within the idol system. Albums such as 2 Cool 4 Skool, Skool Luv Affair and Dark & Wild laid the groundwork, while the The Most Beautiful Moment In Life series propelled them into international consciousness.
By the time Wings, Love Yourself, Map Of The Soul and Be arrived, BTS were headlining stadiums, topping charts across multiple territories and collecting industry awards at a historic pace. Their global influence extended beyond music into youth culture, mental health advocacy and international diplomacy, including appearances at the United Nations and the White House.
The upcoming tour also coincides with the group’s confirmed return to new music. BTS are scheduled to release a new album in March 2026, their first studio release since Proof in 2022. The record is positioned as a collective statement following the completion of all members’ military service and a reassembly that has been closely followed by fans worldwide.
For Australian audiences, the 2027 shows will mark BTS’ first local performances in several years and are expected to rank among the most in-demand concert events of the decade. An Australian waitlist has already opened ahead of full ticketing details.
