From there, BTS will head to Busan, South Korea, for two performances on June 12 and 13.
They’ll return to Europe later that month, with shows scheduled in Madrid, Brussels, Munich and Paris. There are currently only two UK dates on the group’s 2026/27 itinerary, taking place in London on July 6 and 7, 2026.

More dates are lined up for Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia in November and December of this year.
Two gigs in Australia will be held in Sydney and Melbourne in February 2027, before further performances in Hong Kong and the Philippines next March.

BTS’ forthcoming LP was recently listed as one of NME‘s most anticipated album releases of 2026. “Expect this comeback to be massive,” the entry read.
“We’ve waited more earnestly than anyone else,” RM wrote to announce the group’s return. “The year we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived,” Jimin added. “In 2026, we’ll make even more good memories, so look forward to it!” V said.
In a previous statement last year, they wrote: “We’ll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year. Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music.
“Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member’s thoughts and ideas. We’re approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.”
They added: “We’re also planning a world tour alongside the new album. We’ll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you’re as excited as we are.”
The K-pop stars reunited last July for the first time since 2022, with all seven members having completed their mandatory military service in South Korea. During a special livestream, BTS confirmed rumours that they were preparing to release new music.
In August, RM said the band were “working diligently” on their upcoming material.
BTS went on hiatus in 2022, so that its members could also “explore some solo projects”, while juggling their mandatory military service.
In other news, a Brazilian BTS fan was arrested earlier this month after repeatedly visiting the home of member Jung Kook in Seoul.
