According to statistics released by Pollstar, BTS earned around $300 million between 2015 to 2022 from its world tours alone, but many experts believe that the figures are subdued and they must have earned much higher than that. The last full member world tour was held in Las Vegas in April 2022, before all the BTS group members, including J-Hope, V, Jimin, Jungkook, Jin, Suga, and RM embroiled in military enlistment and individual projects.

BIGHIT Music confirmed the release of a new album in the spring 2026 with all seven members of the K-pop group, while the scale of the world tour remains dicey. However, BIGHIT has acknowledged that the planning is actively underway for a world tour after 2022. If it happens, this world tour will set a new precedent and surpass all the previous BTS world tours. It may become one of the most popular and lucrative in the history of pop music in the world.

Will the BTS India Tour Happen in 2026?

Indian BTS ARMY fans have waited long, long years for a potential BTS India tour, and now social media has sparked speculation that Mumbai may be on the list of cities for the BTS world tour. The viral social media post erupted indian fans with full excitement and joy following the Live Nation tour data list mentioning Mumbai among other cities of New York, Sydney, London, Singapore, Paris, etc.

However, Mumbai as a part of the BTS world tour remains unconfirmed, but this news has filled excitement in the indian fans for sure. While you think, BTS is planning to include India in their world tour for the first time, but you are wrong here. In 2022, Suga disclosed that BTS had plans to include Mumbai as part of their Map of the Soul tour back in 2020, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In another instance, RM revealed that, “After ON,” we had a plan to visit multiple cities across the world, and Mumbai was a part of that list.

Hopes are still alive, K-pop Indian fans can expect Mumbai as part of the BTS world tour scheduled to be held next year after the release of their album in spring 2026.

BTS is so Back With the New Album

During a Weverse livestream on November 1, 2025, Jimin announced that the group members have completed recording the tracks of their new album and may drop in the next spring in 2026. Later, the Korean Herald confirmed the release of their new album in March 2026. This highlights the official BTS comeback since their studio album “BE” in 2020, and their first full group activity, “Proof” in 2022.

The album was recorded in the United States, with all the members flying to Los Angeles to work with professional international producers and composers. During these two months, the K-pop group spotted collaborating with pop singer Charlie Puth, raising speculation of a potential collaboration like in 2022 with the hit, “Left and Right,” featuring K-pop group member Jungkook.

Additionally, J-Hope’s Instagram posts shared the recording and studio sessions featuring Suga with a guitar and RM recording vocal tracks for the new album. All the fans are eagerly waiting for the new album release in spring 2026.

BTS is really reunited now; tears are streaming down my face.

When the members went to serve, I wondered how I would cope since they play such a significant role in life. Now that they’re all together, my heart is so full.

The company could have made the announcement, but BTS wanted to do it themselves. And that actually says a lot.
