K-pop idols BTS have announced a 9-date world tour, marking their return to the stage after a four-year hiatus.
With dates in London, Tokyo, Munich, Sydney and Los Angeles, it’s likely to be one of the biggest tours of the year, especially as BTS haven’t played outside of the US and South Korea since 2018.
Their prior tour set new records for a K-pop act – earning about $246 million (£182 million) at the global box office. They’re also the first Korean act to headline Wembley Stadium.
The tour will kick off with three nights in South Korea’s Goyang Stadium on 9 April, 2026, before setting off across Asia, Europe and America.
The show will see the band performing on a 360-degree, in-the-round stage, allowing for more seats to be made available at every venue.
It will hit London for two nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 6 and 7 July, 2026. The European leg also includes dates in Paris, Madrid, Brussels and Munich.
A message on the band’s website said further dates would be announced in Japan, the Middle East “and more” for 2027. (See the bottom of this page for a full list of the dates so far.)
Tickets will be available to fans from 22 January, and the general public two days later.
According to Billboard, external, the group and their record label BigHit / Hybe stand to earn over $1 billion (£740 million) from their reunion – derived from concerts, merchandise, licensing, album sales and streaming revenue.
During the band’s hiatus in 2024, Hybe’s operating profit dropped by almost 37.5%, which the company attributed partially to “BTS’ temporary break”.
This world tour will cover over span for a little under 11 months.
