BTS's 2026 world tour is expected to kick off in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
On Jan. 15, Goyang in Gyeonggi Province said the Goyang Sports Complex has been set as the first stop of the world tour where BTS's seven members will take the stage together again.
According to the schedule for BTS's "2026 world tour" released by BigHit Music, BTS plans to tour the globe starting in April.
Among these, the first shows of the tour will be held on April 9 and 11-12 at Goyang Sports Complex in Goyang.
Goyang previously hosted the "2025 BTS FESTA" offline event, J-Hope's encore concert, and Jin's first fan concert in succession, successfully wrapping up the events.
The city said these accumulated results and operational experience were a key foundation for Goyang being chosen as the starting point of BTS's 2026 world tour.
The explanation is that Goyang Sports Complex was selected as the first venue of the world tour after a comprehensive evaluation of its capacity to accommodate large audiences, excellent transportation accessibility, a safety management system through cooperation with related agencies, and operational capabilities that cover the city before and after the event.
