BTS has officially confirmed their return as a group after several years focused on fulfilling South Korea’s mandatory military service. The K-pop group will release a new album titled ‘ARIRANG‘ on March 20, marking their first group release since announcing their hiatus in 2022.
The album, described in the official statement as a very special project, will feature a total of 14 tracks and has been conceived as a reflection of the personal and creative moment shared by the seven members following this period of enforced separation. According to the release, the group took an active role in the songwriting and musical direction, aiming to express the emotions and experiences gathered over these years.
The release will be accompanied by an ambitious international tour produced by Live Nation, scheduled to take place between 2026 and 2027 and marking BTS’ official return to the stage. The tour will feature a 360-degree central stage and is expected to visit more than 30 cities across multiple continents, with nearly 80 shows planned, making it the most extensive tour of the group’s career to date.
Ticket sales details for the tour have already been made available through BTS’ official website, with further information about dates, venues, and access phases expected to be updated as the rollout continues.
