K-Pop Superstars Return to the Global Stage
BTS officially announced their long-awaited return to touring with a massive 2026-2027 world tour spanning 70+ dates across 34 regions—marking their first headline performances as a group since their celebrated 2021-22 Permission to Dance on Stage tour.[1][2] The highly anticipated global tour, promoted by Live Nation, will kick off Thursday, April 9, with three nights in Goyang, South Korea before heading to Tokyo and beyond.
Historic Venues and First-Time Performances
The tour will make history with performances at iconic stadiums across North America and beyond. BTS will perform at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California—becoming only the second musical act to take the stage there, following Coldplay’s inaugural shows last year.[1] The group will also headline stadiums making their K-pop debuts, including AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, and Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Texas, marking the first and largest K-pop concerts ever held in these cities.[1]
The North American leg launches with back-to-back nights at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on April 25-26, with multi-night stadium stops planned across major cities including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, East Rutherford, New Jersey, and Foxborough, Massachusetts at Gillette Stadium.[2] The tour will also feature first-ever BTS performances in Madrid, Brussels, and London’s iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Immersive 360-Degree Stage Design
The tour will feature a groundbreaking 360-degree in-the-round stage design—a first for a K-pop stadium tour.[1] This immersive setup places fans at the center of the experience while increasing capacity at every venue, delivering an unprecedented concert experience for the global fanbase, ARMY.
Latin America and Asia Expansion
This fall, BTS will bring the world tour to Latin America and Asia, with stops planned in Bogotá, Colombia, São Paulo, Brazil, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Bangkok, Thailand, Singapore, and more.[2] The group will return to Australia early 2027 for shows across Melbourne and Sydney. The tour concludes with stops in Hong Kong and Manila, Philippines in March 2027.
