Global superstars BTS have officially announced their long-awaited 2026 World Tour, sending waves of excitement across the globe. After years of anticipation, the group is set to return to the biggest stages in the world, bringing their unparalleled performances, stunning visuals, and emotionally powerful music to millions of fans.
The announcement was unveiled through a special live broadcast, with BTS members sharing heartfelt messages to ARMY, thanking them for their patience and endless support. RM, the group’s leader, emphasized that this tour marks a “new chapter” for BTS as they step into a future filled with even bigger dreams and milestones.
The 2026 World Tour will kick off in Seoul on May 2 at the iconic Olympic Stadium, setting the tone for what promises to be an unforgettable journey. Following the Seoul launch, BTS will perform in Tokyo at the Tokyo Dome on May 10, before heading to Osaka’s Kyocera Dome on May 14, giving Japanese ARMYs multiple chances to experience the spectacle.
Next, BTS will light up Europe, starting with London’s Wembley Stadium on May 25, followed by a night at Paris’ Stade de France on May 30. The European leg will also feature a performance at Berlin’s Olympiastadion on June 4, where fans can expect a mix of fan-favorite classics and new material.
North America will get its share of magic as BTS lands at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium on June 15, followed by New York City’s MetLife Stadium on June 20. The U.S. leg will also include stops in Chicago’s Soldier Field on June 25 and Toronto’s Rogers Centre on June 30, promising massive stadium nights.
The tour then heads to Latin America, with BTS scheduled to perform in Mexico City’s Foro Sol on July 10 and São Paulo’s Allianz Parque on July 18. Both cities hold a special place in BTS history, with ARMYs there known for some of the loudest and most passionate fan chants.
Asia will continue to roar as BTS brings their performances to Bangkok’s Rajamangala Stadium on July 28 and Manila’s Philippine Arena on August 3, ensuring Southeast Asia is part of this global celebration. These shows are expected to sell out within minutes once ticket sales open.
Oceania is also included in the 2026 journey. BTS will take the stage at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on August 12 before wrapping up their tour in Auckland’s Eden Park on August 18. Fans across Australia and New Zealand have long awaited a return from BTS, and this finale is expected to be one of the most emotional stops of the entire tour.
Each performance will be a carefully curated mix of BTS’s greatest hits — including Dynamite, Butter, Fake Love, and Spring Day — alongside brand-new songs the group has been crafting during their time away from world tours. Reports suggest there will be special solo stages as well, allowing each member to shine individually while still bringing the group together for larger-than-life finales.
The production is rumored to be BTS’s biggest yet, with cutting-edge visuals, interactive crowd technology, and breathtaking stage designs. From rotating stages to holographic effects, fans can expect to witness a show that pushes the boundaries of live music experiences.
Tickets are expected to go on sale starting next month, with presale options for official fan club members launching earlier. Industry experts predict record-breaking demand, with shows likely to sell out in seconds, much like BTS’s previous tours that shattered global records.
As anticipation builds, one thing is certain: the BTS 2026 World Tour won’t just be another concert series — it will be a cultural phenomenon. Millions of ARMYs across continents will unite to celebrate not only BTS’s music but also the message of hope, love, and unity that the group has consistently shared throughout their career.
