BTS World Tour in Tokyo, April.

BTS will perform in Tokyo on April 17-18, 2026, marking the start of their World Tour with excitement building among fans.

BTS is officially going on a World Tour, and Tokyo’s on the list! They’ll be performing on April 17th and 18th, 2026, right after their epic three nights in Goyang, South Korea. This is huge for ARMY, as Tokyo gets to experience the new BTS era early. However, details like the venue and ticket prices are still under wraps. Just stay tuned, because these shows are expected to be some of the biggest in Japan this year. Why are these Tokyo shows so important? Japan's always been a major market for BTS, and kicking off a global tour with two nights in Tokyo sends a powerful message. April is already peak travel season, and with BTS landing, hotels and flights will be snapped up fast once tickets go on sale. So, if you're thinking of going, start planning your accommodation now. It's only going to get busier from here!
