BTS has revealed venues and ticketing plans for the Asia and Australia legs of the BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG, announcing dates that send the comeback run through Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta and two Australian cities this winter and spring.
The Asia swing opens Thursday, Nov. 19 at Kaohsiung National Stadium and includes late‑year stadium nights in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Jakarta. Australia begins Friday, Feb. 12, 2026 with back‑to‑back shows at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Feb. 12 and Feb. 13, followed by two nights at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on Feb. 20 and Feb. 21. The group will return to Asia next March with three shows at Hong Kong’s 50,000‑seat Kai Tak Stadium on March 4, 6 and 7 and additional dates in Manila.
The production for ARIRANG uses an immersive 360‑degree, in‑the‑round stage designed to place fans at the center of the experience while expanding overall stadium capacity. Live Nation produces the tour, which supports BTS’ fifth studio album, ARIRANG.
Ticketing opens in stages: ARMY membership presales for the announced Australia dates start Tuesday, June 2, with remaining tickets going on general onsale Thursday, June 4 at btsworldtourofficial.com — beginning at 10am AEST in Melbourne and 1pm AEST in Sydney. The Hong Kong ARMY presale is scheduled for June 9 at 11am, with Hong Kong ticket prices ranging from HK$799 to HK$3,299 for a VIP package; the VIP package includes a ticket, pre‑show soundcheck access, an exclusive gift and a laminate and lanyard (VIP priced at HK$3,299, roughly US$420).
The announcement comes against a backdrop of extraordinary demand: the tour began in April in South Korea, moved through the United States and Mexico, and already sold out all 41 stadium dates across North America, Europe and the U.K., shifting nearly 2.4 million tickets. Organizers added further dates in Tampa, Stanford, Las Vegas and across Latin America after presales overwhelmed initial supply.
Those numbers explain the messaging from BTS, which noted in briefing language that “the secret is out” as venues and on‑sale specifics were revealed and warned that demand has been, in their words, “completely absurd.” The 34‑region, 85‑show ARIRANG run marks the group’s first full headline tour together since their PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE shows, and it continues to test the limits of stadium touring logistics in markets where K‑pop appetite is already enormous.
The tension for organizers and fans is immediate: the in‑the‑round staging expands capacity but presales have repeatedly filled initial allotments, forcing promoters to add nights to meet demand. That pattern already pushed extra dates into North America and Europe; whether comparable expansions will be possible in tightly scheduled stadium markets such as Melbourne, Sydney and the Southeast Asian dates is unclear and will depend on venue availability and promoter negotiations.
For fans who want to lock in seats, the practical answer is stark: join ARMY and use the June 2 presale window for Australia, or be ready at btsworldtourofficial.com when general onsale begins June 4. With three Hong Kong nights at 7.30pm and tiered pricing that includes premium VIP offerings, the fastest route to a ticket will be the membership presales the band has now laid out.
