BTS Set To Bring ‘Largest K-Pop Tour Of All Time’ To NY/NJ’s MetLife Stadium This Summer

New York just landed one of the biggest concert announcements of 2026. BTS officially confirmed their long-awaited return to the global stage with a massive 2026–2027 world tour — and yes, New York is getting two stadium nights at MetLife as part of what’s being billed as the largest K-pop tour of all time . The announcement marks **BTS’ first full-group headline tour since their record-shattering *Permission to Dance On Stage* run in 2021–2022, and for ARMY in the NYC area, it means getting to see Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook for the first time since 2019. BTS is bringing a world tour — and two nights — to MetLife Stadium ------------------------------------------------------------------ As part of the newly announced BTS World Tour, the group will play two shows at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on August 1 and 2, 2026, turning the NYC metro area into one of the tour’s marquee North American stops. The tour spans 34 regions and 79 shows, with multi-night stadium runs in every city — a scale that hasn’t been seen before in K-pop. MetLife joins a short list of major global venues including London, Paris, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. For New York fans, it’s a really a full-circle moment, since BTS last performed as a group in the region during the height of their global takeover, and now they’re returning with an even bigger production — and a bigger audience. This won’t be a typical stadium show ------------------------------------ One of the most talked-about details of the tour is the 360-degree, in-the-round stage design, marking the first time a K-pop stadium tour has used this setup. The immersive layout places fans on all sides of the stage, increasing capacity while pulling the crowd closer to the performance — a major upgrade from traditional end-stage stadium shows and a huge win for MetLife’s massive entertainment space. In short: no bad seats, just a lot of very loud screaming. Ticket pre-sale information and what to know -------------------------------------------- Tickets go on sale later this month, starting with an ARMY MEMBERSHIP presale on Thursday, January 22, followed by additional presales on January 23. General onsale begins Saturday, January 24 via LiveNation.com.
