Calling all ARMY! The moment we’ve all been waiting for is officially here. After nearly three years away from full-group activities while completing South Korea’s mandatory military service, BTS are rocketing back into action with a full-blown worldwide comeback that’s already shaking up social feeds and ticket trackers everywhere.
The septet, RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, have announced a brand-new world tour slated to kick off on April 9, 2026, in Goyang, South Korea, marking their first headline shows since the “Permission to Dance on Stage” era.

79 shows across the globe
This upcoming 2026-2027 world tour is shaping up to be massive. With 79 dates announced so far across 34 cities on five continents, BTS will be bringing their legendary energy from Asia to North America, Europe, South America, Australia and beyond. Stops include Tokyo, Mexico City, Las Vegas, London, Paris, São Paulo, Sydney, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Manila and more. Notable stops include multi-night performances in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium, debut shows at Gillette Stadium and M&T Bank Stadium, and appearances in new cities for BTS fans, such as Bogotá and Lima.
Fans are already buzzing that this could be one of the largest K-pop tours ever, complete with immersive staging and ARMY-only fan presales kicking off in late January.
Is India on the list?
Sadly, India is not on the list yet. However, the official tour announcement poster mentions that more dates and stops will be added later. With Jungkook's 'See you next year' promise for Indians, desi ARMY can still be hopeful.
