BTS set to make over $1 billion announcing their comeback tour

K-pop idols BTS have announced a globe-spanning, 79-date world tour, marking their return to the stage after a four-year hiatus.

With dates in London, Tokyo, Munich, Sydney, and Los Angeles, it's likely to be one of the biggest tours of the year. The band hasn't performed outside the US and South Korea since 2018.

Their previous world tour set records for a K-pop act—earning about $246 million (£182 million) at the global box office. Along the way, BTS became the first Korean act to headline Wembley Stadium.

The new tour kicks off on April 9, 2026, at Goyang Stadium in South Korea and will visit Asia, Europe, and America.

With a unique 360-degree stage setup, more seats will be available at every venue.

BTS fans can look forward to the band performing in London on July 6 and 7, 2026, part of a European leg that includes dates in Paris and Munich. Tickets go on sale January 22.

According to Billboard, the group and their record label BigHit / Hybe could make over $1 billion (£740 million) from their comeback, fueled by concerts, merchandise, and new album sales.

Following their hiatus, BTS plans to return to the music scene strong, with their new album set to release on March 26, 2026.
