The K-pop band BTS is preparing its long-awaited return to the stage with a world tour that will take them to 34 cities, including Madrid, Mexico City, Bogotá, Lima, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile and Sao Paulo.
The tour will kick off on April 9 – 20 days after releasing their new album, “Arirang” – in the South Korean city of Goyang to head to Japan and from there to North America, where the band will play in stadiums in Mexico City (May 7, 9 and 10), Los Angeles and Chicago, among other cities.
In Europe, the South Koreans will also perform in Paris, London and at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid on June 26 and 27; and in Latin America they will have concerts in Bogotá (October 2 and 3), Lima (October 9 and 10), Santiago de Chile (October 16 and 17), Buenos Aires (October 23 and 24) and Sao Paolo (October 29, 30 and 31), in venues yet to be confirmed.
The official website of the world tour includes links to purchase pre-sale tickets, in which members of “ARMY”, the band’s fan club, with a WeVerse account, can access tickets with priority before the general public. The Ticketmaster website is also available to access pre-sale tickets.
This is BTS’s first major tour, which will include 79 shows, for the group since its successful 2021-2022 “Permission to Dance on Stage” tour, which featured 12 performances.
And they do it after announcing the launch of a new album “Arirang”, the septet’s first joint album since “Proof” (2022), which will be released this Friday.
The album is one of the most anticipated of 2026 and marks the return to the stage as a full group after their last concert in Busan in 2022.
BTS reveals official comeback trailer
Amid great anticipation to see how the global phenomenon of their music will be reinvented, Hybe (BigHit Music’s parent company) CEO Lee Jae-sang said early last year that artists would need time to rest and prepare material after concluding military service.
The last member of the South Korean band to complete mandatory military service, which had led to the suspension of their activities, was Suga last June.
Since their debut in 2013, BTS has topped charts such as the Billboard Hot 100 with songs like “Dynamite” or “Butter” and has brought K-pop to stadiums in the United States such as SoFi in Los Angeles and the Allegiant in Las Vegas, on a tour that reached more than 4 million viewers on different platforms.
These are the dates confirmed so far for the world tour. Cities with an asterisk indicate those where the concert venue has not yet been confirmed.
