BTS Reunion Confirmed: New Album and World Tour in Spring 2026!
Epic Comeback Announcement
ARMY, the moment we've been dreaming of is here! After years apart, BTS officially announced their reunion in spring 2026, complete with a brand-new studio album and a global world tour. In a surprise WeVerse Live broadcast on July 1, 2025, the seven members shared the exciting news. They revealed, “We’ll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year… Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member’s thoughts and ideas. We’re also planning a world tour alongside the new album. We’ll be visiting fans all around the world…” Fans everywhere erupted in joy, celebrating that BTS is truly “so back” together again.
Hiatus and Military Service Ends
The boys’ reunion follows a long, much-needed hiatus. In March 2022, BTS announced an extended break to allow each member to complete South Korea’s mandatory military service and pursue solo projects. By mid-2025, all seven members – from Jin and J-Hope to RM, V, Jungkook, Jimin, and Suga – had finished their duties. Jin and J-Hope returned in 2024; RM and V were discharged in early June 2025; Jimin, Jungkook, and Suga followed by mid-June. The collective WeVerse broadcast announcing the comeback was their first official all-seven appearance since this military era ended. With the hiatus over, the members are now free to work together again.
New Album & World Tour Details
This upcoming album will be BTS’s first full studio album since BE (2020), and fans are already buzzing about what it will sound like. The group emphasized that every member’s voice and ideas will shine through on this project. According to their announcement, recording begins this July, and they hope to surprise fans with a truly collective sound. Alongside the new music, BTS confirmed plans for an expansive world tour in spring 2026. The tour will hit cities across Asia, North America, Europe, and beyond – truly a global celebration. In even more ARMY news, BigHit Music announced a first-ever live concert album, Permission to Dance On Stage – Live, set for July 18, 2025. This album will feature live recordings of BTS’s biggest hits (like “Dynamite” and “Butter”) from their recent tours, giving fans a taste of the live energy ahead of the comeback.
ARMY Reaction and Excitement
The BTS fandom is absolutely ecstatic. As soon as the news dropped, social media exploded with fan reactions. Many shared emotional messages like “There are tears in my eyes” and “We are so back,” echoing the overwhelming joy at seeing all seven members together again. Fans on every platform flooded BTS’s channels with love and anticipation. CherryChu Magazine noted that this announcement – their first group appearance since completing service – was the reunion “we’ve been waiting for,” and ARMYs agree: the boys are back, and it feels like a dream come true.
Looking Ahead: The Countdown Begins
With the reunion officially announced, the countdown to spring 2026 is on. BTS plans to keep fans updated with live broadcasts and posts over the coming months, promising to “communicate as much as possible” until the album and tour roll out. New singles, teasers, and more details on tour dates will be unveiled as the comeback draws nearer. ARMY, get ready to welcome BTS back with open arms – the global world tour and new album are about to make 2026 a year to remember!
