BTS was rumored to be working on new music as well as their “biggest tour ever” for 2026. A report from Bloomberg claimed that the group’s new album — their first since completing their mandatory military service — is set for a release in late March, while their world tour will be comprised of 65 dates with over 30 stops in North America. BIGHIT shut down the rumors however, stating, ”Details regarding the dates and scale of BTS’ new world tour remain unconfirmed. The dates you mentioned are not the latest number we are discussing.”
Members of the K-pop group began their military service between December 2022 and December 2023, with all of them completing the requirement in June 2025.
Stay tuned for more updates on the BTS’ comeback.
