BTS spark global frenzy with latest surprise announcement

BTS are officially back, and fans across the world are counting down the days.

The K-pop superstars have announced a huge 2026–2027 world tour, marking their long-awaited return after years away from the stage.

The tour will begin in South Korea in April 2026 and run all the way through to March 2027.

They have promised a full year of stadium nights and emotional reunions with fans as more than 70 shows are planned across Asia, North America, South America, Australia and Europe.

It’s important to note that this will be the group’s first headline tour since Permission to Dance on Stage in 2021–22.

For many fans, it feels like a dream come true after nearly four years without full group performances.

Most importantly, tickets are expected to sell out fast.

A presale for official ARMY fan club members will take place on January 22 and 23 via Weverse, the fan platform owned by BTS’s management company Hybe.

On the other side general ticket sales for all regions will open on January 24.

The tour news follows confirmation from BigHit Music that BTS will release new music on March 20.

The group paused activities while all seven members completed South Korea’s mandatory military service.

Suga was the final member to finish, completing his service in June 2025 as a social service agent due to a shoulder injury.

Meanwhile, the other six members served in the army.

Now reunited, RM, Jin, Jimin, V, Suga, Jung Kook and j-hope are ready to rule the world again and ARMY is more than ready to welcome them back.
