BTS is back – and coming to a city near you. As the clock strikes midnight on Wednesday in Seoul, the group will announce the dates and locations of a highly-anticipated world tour, with their new album expected to release in March.

BTS' comeback is just around the corner with a new album and world tour slated for 2026. Here's everything we know.

According to stats shared by Spotify, global streams of their music dropped by 24% in 2023, and 30% in 2024. They remained steady in 2025, and the streaming platform says it expects numbers to explode in 2026. But what the numbers don't show is the way BTS's absence due to military service was carefully managed.

Global K-pop phenomenon BTS is officially returning to Allegiant Stadium during a 2026-2027 world tour, marking their first full comeback as a group since completing South Korea's mandatory military service — a required commitment of two years for all able-bodied South Korean male citizens.
