K-pop sensation BTS has announced a world tour spanning 2026 and 2027, marking their return after a nearly four-year hiatus due to mandatory military service in South Korea. The tour will begin in April 2026 in South Korea and run through March 2027, with over 70 dates across Asia, North America, South America, Australia, and Europe, including the UK.
This will be the group's first headline performances since their 2021–22 Permission to Dance on Stage tour. The announcement comes weeks after BigHit Music revealed that BTS will return to music on 20 March 2026, following the completion of military service by all seven members: RM, Jin, Jimin, V, Suga, Jung Kook, and j-hope.
Presale tickets will be available on 22 and 23 January for official fanclub members (ARMY Membership holders) who register on Weverse, the online fan platform owned by BTS management company Hybe. A general sale for all regions will follow on 24 January.
The hiatus was due to South Korea's mandatory military service requirement. Rapper Suga was the last member to complete his duties, finishing his alternative service as a social service agent in June 2025, reportedly due to a shoulder injury. The other six members served in the army.
