The military service hiatus is finally over, BTS Army.
Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook just announced they will return to stages all over the globe on their 2026-27 world tour, which starts in South Korea this April.
Midway through the international trek, the party-starting septet are scheduled to headline back-to-back nights at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 1 and Sunday, Aug. 2.
These are their first official concerts in the New York/New Jersey area since their two ‘Love Yourself Tour’ gigs also at MetLife Stadium back in May 2019.
More dates may be announced later.
Press releases report that all shows will feature 360° in-the-round stage design, a first for a K-Pop stadium tour. According to Live Nation, “the immersive setup places the audience at the center of the experience while allowing for increased capacity at every venue.”
In addition to the multi-country tour — the group’s first outing since their 2021-22 ‘Permission to Dance On Stage’ jaunt — The Bangtan Boys will also release new music in spring 2026.
Pitchfork reported they “began recording last July [and the sixth studio record] drops this March.”
“We’re approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started,” the “Dynamite” ensemble said in a statement. No single has hit the web yet at the time of publication.
On the last tour, the five-time Grammy nominees performed approximately 21-22 songs per concert, based on our findings at Set List FM.
Notable tracks that made the cut include “Butter,” “Fake Love,” “Blood Sweat & Tears,” “Life Goes On” and, yes, “Dynamite.”
“[Their] concert was a fantasia of light and sound, movement and music,” Consequence of Sound wrote about an April 2022 BTS show in Las Vegas.
“…nothing made me happier than the snappy, upbeat earworms found in ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Butter.’ Well, one song does compete for the crown: the tour’s eponymous show-ender ‘Permission to Dance.’”

What has BTS been up to?
Over the past four years, a few members of The Bangtain Boys served in the South Korean military. In December 2022, Jin enlisted as an active duty soldier. Two months later, J-Hope, joined him.
Come September 2023, Suga joined as a social worker. RM and V were next three months after that; Jimin and Jung Kook took the plunge last.
Once discharged, Suga (Agust D), J-Hope, and Jin all conducted North American arena solo tours and released new music as well.
Only time will tell if those tracks get a moment in the sun on the upcoming ’26-27 run.
