K-pop megastars BTS announced its upcoming world tour dates Tuesday as the group is set to return to California in May and September.
The announcement was made on Weverse, a K-pop community platform, with each member’s handwritten name noted on the poster for the 2026 BTS world tour in North America and Europe.
The first California stop will be Stanford in Northern California on May 16 and May 17. Then the group will head to Las Vegas and other cities in Europe and other parts of the U.S. before returning to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood for shows on Sep.1, Sep.2, Sep. 5 and Sep. 6.
When the world’s biggest boy band performed at SoFi Stadium in 2021, daily rates at nearby hotels jumped by nearly three times as visitors from around the world came to Southern California.
When the group performed nearly five years ago, all four shows in Inglewood were sold out, with the band reportedly making over $33 million for the four-night concert.
