BTS will kick off their new world tour at Goyang Sports Complex on April 9 and April 11–12. Their agency, Big Hit Music, revealed the world tour poster and schedule through the fan platform Weverse at midnight on the 14th. This tour marks the first concert in about four years since BTS concluded the "BTS Permission to Dance On Stage" tour in Las Vegas, USA, in 2022.
Starting in Goyang, BTS will perform 79 shows across 34 cities in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia. Big Hit Music explained that this is "the highest number of shows for a single tour by a K-pop artist." They also announced that additional dates in Japan and the Middle East will be added in the future.
Notably, BTS will perform in Busan on June 12–13. June 13 is BTS's debut anniversary, and members Jimin and Jungkook plan to spend meaningful time in their hometown of Busan. It is rare for a K-pop top star to include regions outside the metropolitan area in a world tour schedule.

The North American tour will begin on April 25–26 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. This will be the first time K-pop concerts are held at El Paso Sun Bowl Stadium and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. Additionally, BTS will hold their second solo concert at Stanford Stadium, the first being Coldplay.
BTS will also be the first Korean artist to perform at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, the world's largest dome stadium, and M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. In June and July, they will move to Europe, performing 10 shows in five cities including London and Paris, and will hold their first solo concerts in Madrid and Brussels.
Afterward, BTS will visit five South American cities including São Paulo and Buenos Aires, and will expand the tour to the Middle East. Big Hit Music emphasized that this "shows BTS's popularity is not limited to specific regions but is spreading worldwide."
This tour will feature a 360-degree stage to maximize audience immersion. The 360-degree arrangement surrounds the stage with seats, allowing for a much larger audience. Introducing this seating arrangement in stadium-level venues signifies strong audience drawing power.
Meanwhile, ahead of the world tour, BTS plans to release their fifth full-length album containing 14 tracks on March 20. This album is expected to showcase BTS's musical style and message, further strengthening communication with their fans.
