Stop what you’re doing. BTS just hit go on a 79-show world tour, and I have the dates. The group returns to the stage April 9, 2026 in Goyang, South Korea, then runs across five continents before a finale March 14, 2027 in Manila. A new group album lands March 20, 2026. Presales open next week. This is the comeback of the decade, built for stadiums, reunions, and pure noise.
ARMY presale is January 22 to 23 on Weverse. General onsale is January 24 on Ticketmaster and Live Nation.
The Tour at a Glance
Here is the shape of the run. BTS will cover 34 regions in 23 countries, with heavy hits in Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Australia. Expect multiple nights in key cities. Expect bigger production and tighter choreography. The kickoff belongs to Korea. The last bow belongs to the Philippines.
Tokyo lands early. North America lights up with Tampa, East Rutherford, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Toronto. Latin America gets Mexico City, Bogotá, Lima, Santiago, and São Paulo. Europe lines up Madrid, Brussels, London, Munich, and Paris. Australia loads in Melbourne and Sydney, before the tour sweeps back through Asia with Hong Kong and Manila to close. This is the biggest BTS road plan to date, and the timing is razor sharp.

Travel Playbook for ARMY
Think like tour staff. Book hotels with free cancellation near transit, not just near the venue. Airports and downtown hubs make exits easier after a stadium show. If you are crossing borders, check passport timelines now. Some cities will add late trains for stadium nights, but do not count on it. Plan your own ride.
Split costs with fandom friends. Share rooms, rides, and portable chargers. If you chase floor spots, study venue maps, especially camera wells and mix pits. If you prefer vocals first, aim for lower bowl sightlines near the thrust. Give yourself a buffer day after each show. You will want time to recover, shop, and relive it all.

Why This Comeback Hits Different
This tour closes the chapter on military service and opens a new era. The seven, RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook, return with sharper skills and deeper stories. The setlists will blend classics with the new album, and you will feel that growth in every transition. Expect fan chants that shake concrete. Expect visuals that break the internet, and maybe a few surprise guests in local markets.
Cities are ready. Hotels will fill. Small businesses near stadiums will see a surge in foot traffic and late night meals. This is culture in motion, fueled by choreography, lyric lines, and a global community that shows up early and loud. The economic wave is real, but the emotional one is bigger. Families will attend together. Friends who met in queues years ago will hug in tunnels again. That is the BTS effect.
Final Word
You wanted dates. You got the map. The BTS 2026 to 2027 world tour begins April 9 in Goyang, ends March 14 in Manila, and packs 79 shows with zero filler. Get your Weverse and Ticketmaster accounts aligned. Pick your cities. Lock your travel with smart refunds. The new album hits March 20, and then the lights go up. I will see you in the queue, and in the roar when the first note drops.
