BTS’s return to the global touring circuit in 2026 is expected to generate more than $1bn in revenue, according to industry estimates, as the South Korean powerhouse prepares for its first full-scale comeback since before the pandemic.
The seven-member K-pop boyband, composed of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook, has been on hiatus since 2022, while its members completed mandatory military service. The group will be releasing a new album in the spring of 2026, followed by a 79-show world tour covering 34 cities across 23 countries, spanning five continents from April 2026 through March 2027.
