BTS Confirm Comeback with New Album and World Tour Set for 2026

The wait is officially over. Global K-pop sensation BTS has confirmed their highly anticipated comeback, announcing a brand-new album and a worldwide tour scheduled for 2026. The news was shared during their first group live stream since all seven members completed South Korea’s mandatory military service.

“Hey guys, we are back,” said Jimin during the live broadcast, which marked the group's long-awaited return to the spotlight. The members revealed that they will travel to the United States later this month to begin working on their new album.

The group confirmed that the album is slated for release in spring 2026, making it their first group project in several years. In addition to the album, BTS also revealed plans for a global tour, promising to reconnect with fans around the world.

“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 group said during the stream.

This marks a significant moment for BTS and their fans, known collectively as ARMY. Since enlisting in the military, the group had been on hiatus from group activities, with members occasionally releasing solo work. Their reunion signals a return to their collective musical journey, something fans have been eagerly anticipating.

Social media platforms lit up with excitement following the announcement, with hashtags like #BTSisBack and #BTS2026 trending globally. As the countdown to their new album and tour begins, one thing is certain: BTS is ready to take the world stage once again.
