Pop Royalty BTS Announce Their Long-Awaited Return To The Stage With Massive 70+ Date World Tour

Published

on

Pop Royalty BTS announce their long-awaited return to the global stage with their world tour spanning 2026-2027. Set to be the biggest global K-pop tour of all time, and the largest of their career to date, the run will span 34 regions and 79 shows, featuring first-ever performances in several cities and marking a historic new chapter for the group and their global fanbase, ARMY.

The highly anticipated 70+ date tour, promoted by Live Nation, kicks off Thursday, April 9, with BTS performing for three nights together in Goyang, South Korea before heading to Tokyo, Japan. From there, the tour moves to North America where the group will perform in Tampa, FL for the first time on April 25 and 26, launching the run with back-to-back nights at Raymond James Stadium before continuing across North America, Europe, and the UK. The tour features multi-night stadium stops in all cities including Mexico City, Las Vegas, London, Paris, East Rutherford, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and more.

This fall, BTS will then bring their tour to Latin America and Asia, with stops planned in Bogotá, São Paulo, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Singapore, and more — including first-ever performances in Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Kaohsiung. The group will then return to Australia early next year for a run of shows across Melbourne and Sydney. Venue details and ticket information for the Latin America, Asia, and Australia dates will be shared at a later date.

Notably, the tour will feature a 360-degree, in-the-round stage design — a first for a K-pop stadium tour. The immersive setup places the audience at the center of the experience while allowing for increased capacity at every venue.

These shows mark BTS’ first headline performances as a group since their celebrated 2021–2022 ‘PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE’ tour, which spanned 12 shows across Seoul, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. As one of the first K-pop groups to achieve true global crossover success and shatter attendance and gross records worldwide, BTS continue to redefine what’s possible for the genre with this massive stadium tour.

The BTS World Tour also brings historic firsts across multiple markets. BTS will play Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, TX and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA — marking the first and largest headline K-pop concerts ever held in both cities. The group will also become just the second musical act to perform at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, CA, following Coldplay’s inaugural shows last year.

Additionally, the tour marks BTS’ first-ever performances in Madrid and Brussels, the first K-pop shows at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX and M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and the group’s debut at London’s iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, further cementing the tour as one of the most significant tours of 2026.

Published

on

JasonAldean_LukeBryan_2026_National

Reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan today announced the “DOUBLE DOWN TOUR 2026,” an expansion of co-headlining stadium dates set to kick off this August. The tour adds four additional concerts in 2026 following their sold-out UGA Sanford Stadium show last week (4/25) that reunited the Georgia natives in front of 63,000 fans. Watch a recap of the tour date here. Openers Gavin Adcock, Dasha, Chase Matthew, Jon Pardi, Dylan Scott, and Lauren Watkins have been added as support across select dates, listed below. Openers Dee Jay Silver & DJ Rock are across all dates. The tour is promoted by Live Nation.

Both Aldean’s and Bryan’s fan club members will have ticket presales starting Wednesday, May 6, at 10 AM local time and continuing through Thursday, May 7 at 10 PM local time, followed by local team presales starting Thursday, May 7, at 10 AM local time. Tickets to the public go on sale Friday, May 8, at 10 AM local time. Tickets are available at JasonAldean.com  and LukeBryan.com.

“If our time in Georgia was a barometric measurement of what’s ahead, these shows with Jason will make it one of the best touring years of my life. And the fans will hopefully feel the same way,” shared Bryan.

“Luke and I have each been at this, career-wise and as friends, for over twenty years, and have gotten to hit a lot of milestones along the way. We’ve gotten to share the stage plenty of times over the years, and playing UGA was just a preview of what’s coming for the rest of these shows,” shared Aldean.

The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, exclusive access to a backstage tour, invitation to the pre-show VIP Tailgate Lounge, VIP-exclusive gift item & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com.

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Aldean released his latest studio album, Songs About Us, last week (4/24). The album features the Georgia native’s 31st career #1, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” as well as his current Top 15 radio single, “Don’t Tell On Me,” the album’s title track, “Songs About Us” with Luke Bryan, and more, totaling 20 new songs that have been praised as his “best album in a decade” (Entertainment Focus). Having cemented his status as one of the format’s most consistent hitmakers, ACM Artist of the Decade Aldean’s latest studio album Songs About Us follow’s Aldean’s career-spanning collection 30 Number One Hits, which debuted last year at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart — marking Aldean’s 13th Top 10 country album in 20 years. Known for his electrifying live shows and breakout crossover hits, Aldean is set to hit the road for his “Songs About Us” Tour in July following his Full Throttle World Tour, which marked his first ever headlining run in New Zealand as well as his historic headlining return to Australia.

Luke will wrap his ninth season as a celebrity judge on American Idol alongside Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie on May 11, and he will kick off his headline “Word On The Street Tour” on May 29. Since the start of his career, Luke has garnered more than 27 billion global streams, 12 million global album sales, and more than 48 million track sales worldwide, with 32 #1 singles. He became a SoundExchange Hall of Fame recipient as one of the most-streamed artists in the organization’s 20-year history. He has received more than 50 music awards, including Most Heard Artist of the Decade, Artist/Songwriter of the Year, Artist Humanitarian, and an ACM Lifting Lives Award honoring his devotion to improving lives through the power of music.

Foster the People Announce “Good Mourning Sunshine” North American 2026 Tour

Published

on

FosterThePeople_2026_National

Foster the People have announced their “Good Mourning Sunshine” North American 2026 Tour, bringing their signature blend of indie pop and electrifying live energy to cities across the U.S. and Canada this fall, with support from Goth Babe and The Beaches on select dates.

Promoted by Live Nation, the tour kicks off on September 9 at Arizona Financial Theatre in Phoenix, making stops in New York, Chicago, Toronto, Seattle, Boston, Washington DC, Nashville, Atlanta, Austin, and Houston, among others, before wrapping up in Los Angeles at the Greek Theatre on October 23.

Foster the People’s latest album Paradise State of Mind marked a major milestone for the band, earning their third Top 10 on Billboard’s Album Sales chart and widespread critical acclaim from outlets including BillboardNMEAP NewsForbesClash Magazine, and Consequence. In 2025, the band brought the record to life on a sold-out global tour spanning North America, Europe, the UK, and Latin America. Building on that momentum, Foster the People recently debuted a brand new live show at Coachella, one they’ll bring across North America on the “Good Mourning Sunshine” tour this fall. Featuring stunning visuals, the production transports audiences through a 1950s-inspired utopia that slowly unravels into a psychedelic dream – a commentary on today’s state of the world that is as arresting as it is thought-provoking.

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with Citi presale (details below) beginning on Tuesday, May 5 at 8am local time followed by an artist presale on Tuesday, May 5 at 10 am local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning on Friday, May 8 at 10am local time via fosterthepeople.com.
