BTS – World Tour ‘ARIRANG’ (2026)

Overview

BTS announced and released the ARIRANG World Tour for 2026, marking their first full group stadium tour in several years. The tour spanned 34 global regions, including major stadium dates across Europe and North America, following the group’s return with their first album in six years.

Final Thoughts

The BTS ‘ARIRANG’ World Tour delivered strong early resale activity, driven by global demand and limited initial supply. Performance ultimately diverged by city, with markets offering fewer dates or higher cross-border demand outperforming larger, more expandable venues.

As with most large stadium tours, early market windows proved most effective, while longer holds faced increased risk from tour expansion and pricing pressure.
