BTS World Tour 2026-2027
After nearly four years apart, BTS has officially announced their return to the global stage with a massive 2026-2027 world tour in support of their upcoming album.
The world’s biggest K-pop group revealed plans for an expansive stadium tour spanning 79 shows across 34 regions, making it the largest concert run of their career to date. The tour is scheduled to kick off in early April 2026, beginning with shows in South Korea and Tokyo, before expanding to major cities across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
The newly announced tour marks BTS’s first traditional world tour since 2019. While the group performed select concerts during their Permission to Dance On Stage run in 2021–2022, those shows were limited to Los Angeles, Seoul, and Las Vegas and did not include a full global itinerary.
With all seven members reuniting on stage, the 2026–2027 tour represents a major milestone for both BTS and their global fanbase, known as ARMY.

The design also allows for increased capacity at each venue, potentially allowing BTS to accommodate larger crowds than previous tours.
Planning Ahead for BTS’s 2026-2027 World tour: Ticket Buying Tips for ARMY
- Decide Where You Want to Sit: Before presale begins, review the seating map for your venue and decide which sections best fit your budget and viewing preferences. Knowing whether you want floor seats, lower bowl, or upper sections can help you act faster once tickets become available.
- Create or Sign In to Your Vivid Seats Account: Make sure you have an active Vivid Seats account and are signed in ahead of time. If you don’t already have an account, creating one in advance can save time during checkout.
- Add Your Payment Information in Advance: Adding your credit or debit card to your Vivid Seats account before presale can help speed up the checkout process. This is especially helpful when tickets are in high demand.
- Be Flexible With Seating Options: If your first-choice section sells out quickly, having a few backup sections in mind can improve your chances of securing tickets.
- Use Filters to Find the Best Options: Once tickets are live, use Vivid Seats’ filters to sort by price, section, or seat type. This can help you quickly find available tickets that match your preferences.
