BTS annouce new album and tour.
The South Korean band confirmed their highly-anticipated comeback on Tuesday, scheduling a new album and tour for next year.
Announcing the news during their first live stream since all band members completed their mandatory military service, the seven-strong group said they would head to the US later this month to begin working on new music.
“Hey guys, we are back,” Jimin said, with the group adding that their album would be released in the northern spring 2026.
“We’re also planning a world tour alongside the album. We’ll be visiting fans all around the world, so we hope you’re as excited as we are,” the band said.
It will be BTS’s first world tour since the group’s Permission to Dance on Stage tour back in 2022.
And the new album will be the band’s first full-length release since 2020.
They were the biggest-selling music artists in the world in 2020 and 2021, with six number one albums and the same number of chart-topping singles in the US.
