Event Summary

BTS is making a grand comeback with a 2026-2027 world tour and a new album, 'Arirang', after a four-year hiatus due to mandatory military service in South Korea. The tour will span five continents with over 70 shows, starting in April 2026. Presale tickets for ARMY members began on January 22, 2026, via Live Nation Entertainment — Ticketmaster and SeatGeek, with general sales following on January 24, 2026. Secondary market platforms like StubHub and Vivid Seats are also seeing high demand for tickets.
