The global K-pop phenomenon, BTS, has officially announced their long-awaited return to the world stage. The seven-member group will embark on a colossal world tour spanning 2026 and 2027, marking their first headline concert series since all members completed South Korea's compulsory military service.
The Comeback Trail: From Service to the Stage
This monumental tour announcement follows the group's near-four-year hiatus from performing together. The hiatus was necessitated by South Korea's mandatory military conscription for all able-bodied men. All seven BTS members – RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook – have now fulfilled their duties.
Rapper Suga was the final member to be discharged in June 2025, having served as a social service agent, an alternative role reportedly chosen due to a prior shoulder injury. The other six members completed their service within the military itself. Their collective return paves the way for this historic global K-pop comeback.
Tour Details and Ticket Information
The BTS 2026-2027 world tour is a sprawling undertaking, featuring over 70 scheduled dates across Asia, North America, South America, Australia, and Europe. It will kick off in Goyang, South Korea, in April 2026 and conclude in March 2027.
Fans in the UK will get their chance to see the group live, with a show scheduled at London's iconic Wembley Stadium or The O2 (specific venue to be confirmed) on July 6-7, 2026.
Access to tickets will follow a dedicated process for the devoted BTS fandom, known as ARMY. A presale for registered ARMY Membership holders on the Weverse platform will occur on January 22 and 23, 2026. The general sale for all regions will then commence on January 24, 2026.
