K-pop group BTS has announced a 79-date world tour, their first since 2018, scheduled to begin in April 2026 in South Korea. The tour will feature a 360-degree stage and include stops in Asia, Europe, and America, with London dates set for July 2026. Industry analysts estimate the tour and related activities could generate over $1 billion for the band and their label, Hybe, which saw profits decline during the band's hiatus. The comeback follows the completion of mandatory military service by all seven members, with anticipation building since their announcement in July 2024. Tickets will become available to fans on January 22nd and to the general public on January 24th.
