SEOUL: After a nearly four-year hiatus due to mandatory military service, global K-pop icons BTS are set to reunite on stage for their sixth world tour — BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ — beginning Thursday, April 9, 2026, at Goyang Stadium in South Korea.
The three-night Seoul-area “homecoming” run (April 9–12) marks their first full-group performances since completing service, and serves as a symbolic return to fans worldwide.
Tied to their 2026 studio album Arirang, the tour explores themes of Korean identity and belonging, echoing the spirit of the traditional folk song that inspired its name.
With over 80–85 shows across 34 cities in 23 countries — spanning Asia, North America, Europe, Oceania, and later Japan and the Middle East — it’s being billed as the largest K-pop world tour in history.
The first leg includes Tokyo Dome (April 17–18), followed by major U.S., European, and Latin American stops later in 2026, with global dates running through March 2027.
