BTS is making waves with their announcement of an Australian tour, and if you’re not familiar with the name, here’s why it’s making headlines.

The immensely popular South Korean boy band last visited Australia in 2017. Their public performances came to a halt in 2022 due to their need to fulfill mandatory military service, leading to a temporary disbandment.

Now reunited, BTS has thrilled fans worldwide by unveiling a colossal world tour scheduled for 2026 and 2027, with four concerts planned across Australia.

Here’s what you need to know about BTS ahead of their eagerly anticipated Australian performances next February.

The band officially announced their 2026-27 BTS World Tour on January 13. The Australian segment is set to begin in Melbourne on February 12, 2027.

During their time in Australia, BTS will grace the stage for four shows: two in Melbourne and two in Sydney.

Concert dates are as follows:

The last confirmed concert date before they fly to Australia is slated for Jakarta, Indonesia, on December 27, 2026.

Fans have speculated that could allow the band to announce additional Australian dates for January or early February 2027.

After their second Sydney show, BTS are slated to perform in Hong Kong on March 4, 2027.
