ARMYs, are you ready? BTS’ long-awaited comeback is finally here! Real ones already knew major news was on the way when the band’s official Instagram account was reset on New Year’s Day, but now we have official confirmation. After a hiatus that lasted more than three years due to mandatory military service in South Korea, the seven-member music act has announced a 2026-2027 world tour which kicks off in April and runs through till March 2027.
Almost 80 dates have been confirmed across Asia, North and South America, Europe, and Australia, with the promise that other dates for Japan, the Middle East, and more territories are still to come. This comeback tour will also feature a 360-degree, in-the-round stage design, for maximum admiration from all angles – a first for a K-pop stadium tour. As for Hong Kong, we’ll be seeing RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook on March 4, 6, and 7, 2027. Given the scale of the concert and the stage setup requirements, it’s safe to assume that they will be playing in the Kai Tak Stadium.
We’re not going to sugarcoat it: it looks like ticket sales are going to be brutal. The last time BTS went on tour was their 2021-2022 ‘Permission to Dance on Stage’ era, so even though the members have been keeping fans fed with a steady stream of content since they staggered their individual returns to the limelight – J-Hope went on his solo ‘Hope on the Stage’ tour; Jin did his ‘RunSeokjin Ep.’ tour; Jimin and Jungkook filmed and released the second season of their travel variety show Are You Sure?! – millions of fans of the septet have been clamouring to see the full band reunited and doing what they do best on stage.
A tip on getting BTS tickets
If you’re serious about getting tickets to see the world’s most popular Korean music act here on home soil, the first thing you should do is get an ARMY Membership on Weverse. This is their official fan platform, and will release pre-sale tickets earlier than anywhere else you can find. It’s important to note that getting this membership does not guarantee pre-sale tickets, but it at least gives you a higher and earlier chance of scoring.
Once you have your membership, you’ll need to apply through Weverse to participate in the ARMY Membership pre-sale. Your membership type determines which region’s pre-sale you can apply for, so Hong Kong fans should make sure to get the ARMY Membership (Global) option. Pre-sale applications are currently ongoing for North America and Europe, but there’s no word yet on when it’ll be our turn. Pre-sale tickets for these regions will be released from January 22, and remaining tickets will be released to the general public on January 24 – but again, pre-sale and general tickets for Asian cities have yet to be announced, so stay tuned for updates!
In the meantime, we have BTS’ fifth full-length album to look forward to, which will be released before their world tour on March 20.
