BTS Officially Anounces an Album Release Date and Teases a World Tour

K-pop group BTS has officially blessed us with some new information on their upcoming album and world tour. The boy band sensation is making a long-awaited return.

The upcoming fifth album is set to drop on March 20 and marks their first release as a group in almost four years, following the completion of their mandatory military service. The date was initially revealed through handwritten New Year's letters sent to Weverse fan-club members, with personal messages of thanks from the group alongside the printed date "2026.03.20" and a fresh new logo.

The project is still untitled, but is described as an album that "reflects the culmination of BTS's journey to date and defines the group on their own terms." Created in late 2025, the record will feature a total of 14 tracks "driven by each member's honest introspection as they collectively shaped its direction by weaving their individual perspectives into the music."

If that wasn't enough to fill your BTS fangirl heart, the group is confirmed to go on a world tour in support of the album, marking their return to the global stage. Tour details, including dates and venues, will be announced on January 14 at midnight KST.

Stay tuned for more info and keep an eye on the new BTS official website.
