BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG Information
Asian Tour Dates 2026: April 9-April 18 | June 12-13 | November 19-December 27 European Tour Dates 2026: June 26-July 18 North American Tour Dates 2026: April 25-May 28 | August 1-September 6 South American Tour Dates 2026: October 2-October 31 Oceania Tour Dates 2027: January 12-January 21 Asian Tour Dates 2027: March 4-March 14 |
After finishing up their mandatory military service with the South Korean Army, all seven members of BTS are eager to start performing again and will do so with an ambitious 82-concert BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG scheduled now to hit 34 cities in 23 countries and five continents starting this month.
In 2026, the BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG will visit Asia, North America, Europe, and South America and in 2027, BTS will wrap things up in Oceania and Asia with shows in Australia, and Hong Kong, and two shows to end the tour in Manila, Philippines (March 13-14).
This fourth headlining world tour for BTS starts this month in April and stretches 11 months to March of 2027. It is in support of the fourth BTS studio album called ARIRANG. This will be the group’s first tour since 2019 with the COVID-19 pandemic scrapping plans for the planned Map Of The Soul Tour in 2020.
The seven members of BTS—aka the Bangtan Boys—Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and **Jung Kook—**began their military service in late 2022, starting with Jin, and when Suga was discharged on June 21, 2025, all seven BTS members finally completed their service.
The BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG kicks off on April 9, 2026 at Goyang Stadium in Goyang, South Korea and the tour will feature a 360° stage setup. The new BTS album ARIRANG was just released on March 20 and is already tearing up the charts.
Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum asked South Korean president Lee Jae Myung if she could have shows added in her country—BTS plays Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on May 7, May 9, and May 10—after a local promoter said adding more shows wasn’t realistic. That’s how big this tour is.
For the upcoming BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG, the average BTS ticket price is $825.92 with the typical price (median) at $487.30. The cheapest ticket to be found right now is at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on April 26 where BTS concert tickets can be found for an amazing low price of just $91.30.
For the hard-core BTS fans (ARMY), you can buy tickets for the BTS Pre Party at The Sinclair Music Hall in Cambridge, Massachusetts for just $29.90 here at TicketX.
BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG Opens in BTS’ Home Nation
The BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG starts off in the K-pop group’s home of South Korea, with two highly anticipated shows on April 9 and April 11 at Goyang Stadium in Goyang.
BTS was formed in the South Korean capital of Seoul back in 2010 and Goyang is a satellite city (suburb) in the Seoul Capital Area located northwest of Seoul so this ambitious world tour begins where BTS have both their roots.
After the two shows in South Korea, it’s off to Japan for BTS for two concerts at the historic Tokyo Dome (April 17-18). The BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG returns to Asia for two shows in Busan, South Korea on June 12-13 before heading off to Europe.
The septet will return to their home continent of Asia from November 19 to December 21, 2026 (Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia) and will also be playing shows in Asia in 2027 with three dates at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong (March 4, March 6-7).
BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG—North America Dates 2026
The first North American leg of the BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG sees two dates at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida (April 25-26) followed by two nights at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas (May 2-3), and those aforementioned three concerts at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, Mexico (May 7-10). Nosotros rockeamos.
BTS then travels to the West for shows at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California (May 16-17) followed by four shows at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise (Las Vegas), Nevada on May 23, May 24, May 27 and now May 28 after BTS added another date.
After heading back home to South Korea again and then to Europe, BTS will return to North America for another leg starting with two nights each in East Rutherford (August 1-2), Foxborough, Massachusetts (August 5-6), and Baltimore, Maryland (August 10-11).
The BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG then plays Arlington, Texas for two dates at AT&T Stadium (August 15-16), followed by two shows at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Canada (August 22-23), before heading to Chicago for two nights (August 27-28)
BTS wraps up the second North American leg at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood (Los Angeles) with four much-anticipated shows on September 1, 2, 5 and 6, and the last chance fans may get to see the returning K-pop group for some time.
BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG—Europe Dates 2026
BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG hits Europe in the Summer for concerts in Madrid, Spain (June 26-27), Brussels, Belgium (July 1-2), Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England (July 6-7), Munich, Germany (July 11-12), and Saint-Denis (Paris), France (July 17-18).

About the New BTS Album ARIRANG
On Friday, March 20, 2026 at 1 pm KST (Korean Standard Time), BTS released ARIRANG on Big Hit Music, the group’s 10th studio album and sixth Korean-language record by the popular boy band. The ARIRANG (stylized in all caps) tour is named after the album.
ARIRANG debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the seventh album from the group to achieve this feat, with the equivalent of 641,000 albums sold and the biggest sales week by any group in over a decade. Welcome back boys. Now hit the road.

1위부터 10까지 BTS 'ARIRANG'으로 가득 채운 순간✨

Filling the entire Top 10 with #BTS_ARIRANG! https://t.co/ldNmNGwxHA
The group’s last studio album was Be in 2020 but BTS did release the Permission to Dance live album in 2025. The album focuses on reunion themes after the seven-member group reunited after completing their required South Korean military service time.
The first single from the 14-track ARIRANG is the English-language, lo-fi synth track titled “SWIM” and it was released on March 20 and written by RM. Expect to hear “SWIM” and all of the other new tracks off ARIRANG during this massive tour.
Both ARIRANG and “SWIM” were #1 on their respective Billboard 200 album and song charts as of April 4, 2026 and could stay there awhile. As you can see from the Tweet above, BTS held all 10 spots on the Billboard US Global (excluding US) charts. Nothing big.
How Long Are BTS Shows?
BTS concerts usually last between 2-and-a-half to 3 hours and besides hearing all of the new material off ARIRANG on the BTS Airirang Tour, you can expect to enjoy all of the K-pop group’s major hits like "Dynamite," "Butter," “My Universe,” and "MIC Drop."

About BTS
Known by many names, including the Bangtan Boys, Bangtan Sonyeondan, Beyond the Scene, and the Bulletproof Boy Scouts, BTS was formed in 2010, BTS and have always had the seven key band members in Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook.
BTS helped lead the so-called Korean Wave (K-pop) genre of music into the US in 2017 and became the first Korean ensemble to get a Gold Certification for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for their smash hot single “MIC Drop”.
The group became the first group in the US since The Beatles to chart four #1 albums in the country in less than two years with the first four BTS releases. And ARIRIRANG debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts last month comes to no surprise to anyone.
The latest redesigned BTS logo (2017) symbolizes “Beyond The Scene,” a representation of youth not settling for less and blocking stereotypes, with two trapezoids forming half-open doors for BTS (inside) and their ARMY (outside), signifying unity as they meet.
