BTS Confirms 2026 World Tour and Album Comeback

Global K-pop group BTS is officially gearing up for a full-group comeback, with plans for a new album and a massive 2026 world tour now confirmed. This exciting news comes after all seven members completed their mandatory military service, with the final member, Suga, being discharged in June 2025. The group is reportedly already in the United States with their agency, HYBE, focusing on creating new music for their legions of fans.

RM’s Recent Celebrity Gathering

Adding to the building anticipation, BTS leader RM shared a glimpse of his current activities on October 27, 2025. He posted a black-and-white photograph on social media that quickly captured fans’ attention. The image showcased a star-studded celebrity gathering, featuring fellow BTS member Suga, actors Lee JongWon and Bong TaeGyu, entertainer Moon SangHoon, and renowned fashion stylist Kim YongJin. This casual get-together signals that the members are reconnecting and preparing for their next chapter together, both personally and professionally.

The Road to the 2026 World Tour and New Album

According to a Bloomberg report on October 26, 2025, the plans for the BTS comeback are concrete and ambitious. HYBE is orchestrating a grand return for the iconic K-pop group, starting with a new full-group album scheduled for release in late March 2026. This will be their first album as a complete septet in nearly three years, marking a monumental moment for the music industry.

A Tour of Unprecedented Scale

Following the album’s release, BTS is set to embark on a colossal 2026 world tour. The current plan includes approximately 65 concerts across the globe, with a significant focus on North America, where over 30 shows are scheduled. This extensive tour will be the first opportunity for fans to see the full group perform together since their ‘BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE’ tour concluded in 2022, which drew an estimated 4 million fans through both in-person and online events. The scale of the planned 2026 world tour underscores the group’s unwavering global popularity.

A Long-Awaited Reunion

Fans have eagerly awaited this BTS comeback since the members began their staggered military enlistments. The group ensured their presence was felt during the hiatus with pre-recorded releases, such as their 10th-anniversary single, ‘Take Two’, which was released in June 2023. Now, with their duties fulfilled, the focus has entirely shifted to their return to the world stage. The upcoming album and tour represent the culmination of years of waiting and the beginning of a new era for BTS.
