BTS is back after being away from group activities for almost four years because of South Korea's mandated military service. The international K-pop sensation has revealed plans for a massive world tour that will take place in 2026–2027, which will be their first major shows since serving in the military. In addition to the tour, the band is also set to release a new studio album in March, igniting excitement among fans everywhere as they prepare to witness BTS' long-awaited full-group comeback.
A Triumphant Return: New Album and World Tour Details
BTS' comeback plans for 2026 are nothing short of spectacular. The band has earlier announced that their eagerly awaited new album, their first full group record since the 2022 anthology 'Proof,' will be released on 20th March, 2026. The personal journeys of the members and appreciation for their fans, the BTS ARMY, who stood with them during their break are reflected in this 14-track CD.

Following the release of the album, BTS will embark on a massive global tour that will include 79 performances in 34 locations on five continents starting from 9th April, 2026, in Goyang, South Korea, and will end on 14th March, 2027. The tour includes stops in Asia, North America, South America, Europe, and Australia, promising the kind of high-energy performances and stadium productions the band is known for.
This is their first major tour since the 2021–2022 'Permission to Dance on Stage' tour, which was met with huge demand and sold-out stadiums worldwide. With ticket presales set for late January, fans are already excited about the 2026 tour dates in big cities including Tokyo, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and more.

Tour Schedule, Global Reach and Fan Reactions
From the group's home country to key entertainment hubs across the globe, the published itinerary reveals an incredible worldwide schedule spanning almost a year. BTS will perform live for fans in places on several continents, with numerous locations set up in expansive stadiums. However, one notable element of the schedule so far is that India is not included in the first announced Asia leg of the tour—a detail that has disappointed some ARMY members in the country, which has one of the largest BTS fanbases in the world.
Even if more dates might be revealed in the future, supporters have been discussing India's current absence on social media.

Despite that, the overall fan reaction has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Excitement is evident in fan communities around the world following years of anticipation for the reunion of BTS as a seven-member group, which consists of RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook. Official fan club members' ticket presales will begin on 22nd–23rd January, and general sales will start on 24th January. Many are preparing for high demand that is equivalent to that of other significant international music tours.
Looking Back and Forward: BTS' Impact and Expectations
BTS’s last major tour before their military commitments was a massive success, with the group selling out arenas and stadiums internationally. This globe tour was one of the most anticipated events in modern pop music history because of their extended sabbatical from group performances. BTS is pitching 2026 as a pivotal year in their already legendary career with a new album, a full world tour, and the reunion of all seven members.
