BTS to Return After 4 Years with “Largest Ever” World Tour

BTS, whom fans around the world have waited four years for, is finally set to return to the stage. On the 14th, the group released a poster for the “BTS WORLD TOUR” on their global superfan platform Weverse, officially announcing this massive world tour. This performance marks approximately four years since their “BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE” tour concluded in Las Vegas, USA, in 2022.

The tour will begin in Goyang, South Korea, and will include 79 performances across 34 cities in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia.

The concerts will open on April 9th, 11th, and 12th at the Goyang Sports Complex. On June 12th and 13th, they will meet fans in Busan, with June 13th specifically serving as BTS’s Debut Day, making it a special occasion to share that significance with their supporters.

The North American leg of the tour will start in Tampa on April 25th and 26th, spanning 12 cities with a total of 28 performances. BTS will perform at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, USA, and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough—marking the first and largest K-pop concerts held in these locations. They will also become the second artist after Coldplay to perform at Stanford Stadium. Additionally, they will be the first Korean singer to stage a show at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, the world’s largest dome stadium by capacity, as well as at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

In June and July, the group will head to Europe, performing 10 times across five cities including London and Paris. They will hold their first solo concerts in Madrid and Brussels. Five cities in South America, including São Paulo and Buenos Aires, will also be visited, with plans to expand to the Middle East in the future.

The world tour will feature a 360-degree stage design to deliver an overwhelming immersive experience for audiences. Meanwhile, ahead of the world tour, BTS will release their fifth studio album featuring 14 tracks on March 20th. This marks their first comeback as a full group in approximately 3 years and 9 months.

Since their previous stadium tour in 2019 with “Love Yourself/Speak Yourself,” which drew 1.6 million fans to 42 performances and generated around $196 million in revenue, this tour is expected to nearly double that scale, becoming a historic achievement.
