BTS Reportedly Planning Major World Tour and New Album Release in Spring 2026

Reports have surfaced that global sensation BTS is gearing up for a massive world tour alongside the release of a new album next spring. However, their label, BigHit Music, has remained tight-lipped about the details.

On October 26th, Bloomberg reported, citing insider sources, that BTS is planning a total of 65 performances in major cities worldwide. Notably, over 30 of these shows are expected to take place in North America, with the new album slated for release at the end of March 2026.

In response, BigHit Music stated on October 27th, "The schedule and scale of the new album and world tour have not been finalized yet," maintaining a cautious stance.

BTS members have been fulfilling their mandatory military service since 2022, starting with the eldest member, Jin. The group completed their service obligations with Suga's discharge in June.

Currently, BTS is actively preparing for their full-group comeback. They have officially announced plans to return in spring 2026. During a live broadcast in July, they shared that all members will sequentially travel to the United States to begin music production and tour preparations.
