BTS will take the stage at MetLife Stadium on Aug. 1 and Aug. 2 as part of their 2026 World Tour, their first since their hiatus for military service and since their “Permission to Dance on Stage” concert series.
The only presale is via their fan club (Army), and registration is live now through Jan. 18 at 6 p.m. ET. The actual presale starts on Thursday, Jan. 22, at 11 a.m., but buyers must pre-register. Ticket sales to the general public start Saturday, Jan. 24 at 11 a.m. ET at LiveNation.com.
BTS will release their comeback album, which is currently untitled, on Friday, March 20.
Set to be the biggest global K-pop tour of all time, and the largest of their career to date, the run will span 34 regions and 79 shows, featuring first-ever performances in several cities and marking a historic new chapter for the group and their global fanbase, Army.
World Tour With In-the-round Stage Design
This tour marks BTS’s major return with all seven members: RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook. The tour features a new 360-degree, in-the-round stage design for a more immersive fan experience. The stage places the audience at the center of the experience while allowing for increased capacity at every venue.
The highly anticipated 70+ date tour, promoted by Live Nation, kicks off Thursday, April 9, with BTS performing for three nights together in Goyang, South Korea, before heading to Tokyo, Japan. From there, the tour moves to North America, where the group will perform in Tampa, Florida, for the first time on April 25 and 26, launching the run with back-to-back nights at Raymond James Stadium before continuing across North America, Europe, and the UK.
This fall, BTS will bring their tour to Latin America and Asia, with stops planned in Bogotá, São Paulo, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Singapore, and more, including first-ever performances in Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Kaohsiung. The group will then return to Australia early next year for a run of shows across Melbourne and Sydney. Venue details and ticket information for the Latin America, Asia, and Australia dates will be shared at a later date.
Historic Firsts
These shows mark BTS’s first headline performances as a group since their celebrated 2021–2022 Permission to Dance on Stage tour, which spanned 12 shows across Seoul, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. BTS is one of the first K-pop groups to achieve global crossover success and to shatter attendance and gross records worldwide. The group continues to redefine what’s possible for the genre with this massive stadium tour, according to a statement.
The BTS World Tour also brings historic firsts across multiple markets. BTS will play Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, Texas, and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, marking the first and largest headline K-pop concerts ever held in both cities. The group will also become just the second musical act to perform at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California, following Coldplay’s inaugural shows last year.
Additionally, the tour marks BTS’s first-ever performances in Madrid and Brussels, the first K-pop shows at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, and the group’s debut at London’s iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, further cementing the tour as one of the most significant tours of 2026.
