BTS concert chronology

The Arirang World Tour is the upcoming fourth worldwide concert tour by South Korean band BTS, in support of their upcoming studio album, Arirang (2026). The tour is scheduled to begin on April 9, 2026, in Goyang and continue through 2027. It will mark their return to live performances after mandatory South Korean military service, spanning more than 82 dates in 34 cities across 23 countries.

Background

In October 2025, Bloomberg News reported that BTS would hold "their largest world tour to date" the following year.[1] The first batch of dates was announced on January 13, 2026, under the name BTS World Tour,[2] with additional shows to be added in Japan, the Middle East, and more countries in 2027.[3] Two days later, it was revealed that group would call their forthcoming album Arirang.[4] The performances will feature a 360-degree stage setup.[5]

Tickets to their concerts in South Korea, North America, and Europe were sold out within a few hours of the pre-sale and general sale.[6] Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum appealed to South Korea's president Lee Jae Myung to add more shows in her country, after local concert promoter Ocesa told her that the band's packed itinerary made adding shows unfeasible.[7]
