BTS are back.
The South Korean boy band have announced their return to the global stage with their 2026-27 world tour.
Billed as the biggest global K-pop tour of all time, and the largest of their career to date, the run will span 34 regions and 79 shows. It includes their first ever appearances in several cities.
BTS have not performed outside the US and South Korea since 2019.
These shows mark BTS’ first headline performances as a group since their 2021-22 tour. Band members have now completed their military service and can resume touring and recording – an album is set for release on March 20.
The group will play two dates at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (6-7 July). Their previous performances in the UK were in 2019 at Wembley Stadium – the first Korean act to headline the venue.
BTS' tour will feature a 360-degree, in-the-round stage design. The immersive set-up places the audience at the centre of the experience while allowing for increased capacity at every venue, according to promoter Live Nation.
The tour launches on April 9, with BTS performing for three nights in Goyang, South Korea before heading to Tokyo, Japan.
It then moves to North America, Europe and the UK. The tour features multi-night stadium stops in all cities including Mexico City, Las Vegas, London, Paris, East Rutherford, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and more.
In the autumn, Hybe-signed BTS will take their tour to Latin America and Asia including first ever performances in Bogotá, Buenos Aires and Kaohsiung. The group will then return to Australia early next year for a run of shows including in Melbourne and Sydney.
