BTS is back! After years of waiting, the global sensation has confirmed their highly anticipated 2026 comeback album and world tour. Fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the group reunites after completing their mandatory military service. Here’s everything we know so far about their new music and tour plans.
BTS went on a hiatus in December 2022, with members starting their military service. Jin was the first to enlist, followed by J-Hope. By the end of 2023, all members had completed their service, and the last to return was SUGA, who was discharged on June 21, 2025. This marked the official reunion of the group, ready to embark on new projects together.
The comeback announcement came during a live stream on Weverse on July 1, 2025, marking the first time all seven members appeared together since September 2022. The broadcast had over 7.3 million live views, proving how much BTS fans ARMY had missed them.
Album Details and Release Date
While a specific release date isn’t confirmed, BTS revealed their album will drop in spring 2026, with insiders hinting at a March 2026 release. However, this could shift depending on the production schedule. As of July 2025, BTS has not started recording, but they will be heading to the United States soon to begin sessions with top-tier producers.
The album will reflect the personal thoughts and collective experiences of the seven members. According to the group, the album’s creation will feel like their early days in the industry, passionate and authentic.
