After years of anticipation, global sensation BTS is officially making a grand return to the world stage. In a historic announcement that sent waves across the global music industry, BTS has confirmed their 2026 comeback with a brand new group album in Spring 2026, followed by an ambitious world tour covering Asia, North America, Europe, and Latin America.
This marks the group’s first full-group activity since all seven members completed their mandatory military service in South Korea—a momentous milestone that both the band and their loyal fanbase, known as ARMY, have been eagerly awaiting.
The news broke during a surprise Weverse livestream in July 2025, where all seven BTS members—RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—appeared together for the first time in years. The emotional reunion was filled with laughter, shared memories, and one major announcement: BTS is back.
The group revealed plans for a full-length studio album set to drop in Spring 2026, signaling a return to music-making as a team. According to BigHit Music, the album will reflect the members’ growth during their individual pursuits and military service, and will focus on themes of reunion, resilience, and global unity.
Following the album release, BTS will embark on what many are calling their most ambitious world tour yet. Although the full list of cities and dates hasn’t been confirmed by BigHit, industry insiders and early reports suggest that the group is planning approximately 65 shows, spanning eight months from May to December 2026.
The tour is expected to visit major cities in:
- Asia: Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, Singapore, Manila
- North America: Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Toronto
- Europe: London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid
- Latin America: São Paulo, Mexico City, Buenos Aires
There is also growing speculation about additional stops in India, Australia, and possibly the Middle East, reflecting BTS’s expanding global fanbase and the group’s commitment to reaching new audiences.
BTS is no stranger to selling out massive venues. Their 2019 “Love Yourself: Speak Yourself” stadium tour grossed over $116 million, and with even higher demand expected in 2026, many fans believe this upcoming tour could set new records.
According to reports from Kpop News Wire, the projected attendance for the 2026 tour is estimated at over 4 million people, averaging 60,000 fans per show. Stadiums like SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Wembley Stadium in London, and Tokyo Dome are expected to be among the venues.
With that kind of scale, the tour is likely to feature high-end production, including groundbreaking visuals, immersive stage setups, and the kind of emotional storytelling that has defined BTS’s concerts for years
The return of BTS is not just a musical event—it’s a cultural phenomenon. Since their debut in 2013, BTS has become a global symbol of connection, diversity, and empowerment. Their impact has gone far beyond music, reaching into fashion, philanthropy, education, and even diplomacy.
During their group hiatus, the members each pursued successful solo careers, topping global charts and collaborating with some of the biggest names in music. But now, with all seven members reunited, fans are preparing for a new era of BTS—one rooted in maturity, artistic growth, and a deeper message.
While the excitement is already palpable, much remains under wraps. Neither the album title nor the official tour name has been confirmed, though some rumors suggest it may be called the “Beyond Infinity Tour.” Still, BTS and BigHit have emphasized that official updates will be shared through Weverse and HYBE platforms in the coming months.
What is certain is this: BTS is coming back stronger than ever, and their world tour is set to be one of the biggest music events of the decade.
The BTS World Tour 2026 is more than just a series of concerts—it’s a long-awaited celebration of unity, growth, and music. As BTS prepares to step back into the global spotlight, fans around the world are ready to welcome them with open arms and light sticks raised high.
