BTS have announced they are to live stream their comeback performance on Netflix, in a new film titled BTS The Comeback Live | ARIRANG.
The record-breaking K-pop group announced in January that they would be reuniting, with a new album and world tour. Later that month, they confirmed that the title of the album, released March 20, would be ‘ARIRANG’.
Now, the group have announced that a “landmark” live performance will be streaming exclusively on Netflix on March 21 at 8pm KST (11am GMT).
An official statement read: “Broadcast live from Gwanghwamun, one of Seoul’s most iconic and symbolic landmarks, the event marks BTS’ first global stage performance and celebrates the release of their highly anticipated new album, ‘ARIRANG’, slated for release on March 20.
“Through its partnership with HYBE, Netflix will bring BTS’s long-awaited comeback to millions of viewers across the globe.”
The stream will be followed by documentary BTS: The Return, premiering on the streaming service on March 27. The statement describes it as “an intimate documentary film chronicling the making of the band’s new album” that “offers fans a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the journey behind BTS’s highly-anticipated return.”
On January 16, BTS announced the cities, venues and dates for their huge world tour in 2026 and 2027. It will be their biggest tour yet, covering 34 regions and 79 live shows.
Beginning in April with multiple concerts in Goyang, South Korea, and Tokyo, Japan, before following with dates in North America and Europe. Only two UK shows are lined-up, taking place in London on July 6 and 7 2026.
The band then head back to North America, before embarking on more shows in South America, Asia, and Australia.

Recently, Louis Tomlinson said it was “a bit of a shame” to watch BTS break One Direction’s records, saying he felt like he saw another record eclipsed “every time I logged into Twitter.”
