BTS

The tour, presented by Live Nation, kicks off on 9 April with three concert evenings in Goyang, South Korea, followed by Tokyo. The tour will then head to North America, where BTS will perform for the first time in Tampa, Florida, at Raymond James Stadium on 25 and 26 April. After further concerts in North America, the tour will continue to Europe and the United Kingdom. Several stadium shows are planned in each city, including Mexico City, Las Vegas, London, Paris, East Rutherford, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and many more.

A special highlight of the tour is the 360-degree stage production. For the first time in a K-pop stadium tour, a circular stage setup will be used. The immersive concept places the audience right in the middle of the action and also allows for a higher capacity in the stadiums.

The upcoming shows are BTS's first headlining concerts as a group since their acclaimed Permission to Dance on Stage tour (2021/2022), which included a total of 12 shows in Seoul, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. As one of the first K-pop groups to achieve global crossover success and set numerous attendance records, BTS are once again making a statement about the international development of the genre with this stadium tour. The tour is also making history in individual markets: BTS will perform at Sun Bowl Stadium (El Paso, Texas) and Gillette Stadium (Foxborough, Massachusetts), making them the first and largest headlining K-pop concerts ever held in these cities. BTS will also be the second musical act to perform at Stanford Stadium (Stanford, California), following Coldplay's premiere shows last year.

Furthermore, BTS will perform for the first time in Madrid and Brussels, and play the first K-pop shows at AT&T Stadium (Arlington, Texas) and M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore). In addition, the group will make its debut at the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. This makes the BTS World Tour one of the most significant tours of 2026.
