ARMY, this is the kind of news that gives you butterflies — BTS are officially reuniting for a major comeback. According to Tempo, the seven members have regrouped under HYBE to work on a new album slated for late March 2026 — their first group release since 2020 — and are reportedly planning what could be the biggest world tour of their career.
Here’s what matters right now:
- New album: scheduled for late March 2026; the group is back in the studio together under HYBE/BigHit.
- Tour buzz: media reports say BTS is planning around 65 concerts worldwide, including more than 30 shows in North America — their first full global tour since 2019.
- Official confirmation: BigHit Music (HYBE’s subsidiary that handles BTS) says dates and the overall scale are still under discussion and not finalized.
Quick recap of their recent history that makes this comeback so huge: BTS helped push K-pop into the global mainstream and were named the top music group worldwide by the IFPI in 2020 and 2021. A planned 2020 world tour was canceled because of COVID-19; between 2021 and 2022 they only managed a handful of concerts before completing mandatory military service. Their Las Vegas shows in April 2022 reportedly earned $8 million, and Pollstar estimates BTS tours from 2015–2022 brought in nearly $300 million (with some shows unreported).
As a fan, I’m equal parts excited and patient — this is massive, but we’ll need to wait for official dates, ticket info, and the album rollout from BigHit. If the numbers hold up, this could be BTS’ biggest live run yet and a major moment for the whole ARMY worldwide.
Quick background/context (for anyone catching up):
- ARMY is the official fandom name for BTS.
- BigHit Music is the HYBE subsidiary that manages BTS activities and releases.
- BTS’ last full group release was in 2020; their last large-scale touring year was 2019 before pandemic cancellations.
