Major Kpop Concerts In 2026 

Here are the upcoming Kpop concerts that you must save the dates for (plus, all your money): 

1. BTS: The Legendary Comeback & World Tour 

Firstly, let’s face it, we have all been waiting for a BTS comeback ever since the hiatus and their military enlistments. Fans have been holding their breath for the full group return of BTS, and the wait is finally over. 

BigHit Music has officially confirmed that BTS will release a new album on March 20, 2026. Reuters rightly states that it is marking their long-awaited full-group comeback following years of military service and individual projects – a pivotal moment for ARMY worldwide.  

And that’s not all! There are World Tours as well. 

Yes, alongside the album, BTS is planning an expansive world tour across eight months (May–December 2026) with approximately 65 performances globally. Additionally, as per Reuters, this makes it one of the most extensive K-pop tours in history. 

While the full schedule and venues will be revealed on January 14, 2026, the fandom is already buzzing with anticipation. 

2. BLACKPINK’s DEADLINE World Tour Finale 

Secondly, BLACKPINK’s DEADLINE World Tour is pioneering stadium-level production and continues its final Asian leg in early 2026.

• Tokyo Dome (January 16–18, 2026).

As one of the few all-stadium tours by a K-pop girl group, BLACKPINK’s DEADLINE era underscores their status as global pop icons, blending K-pop, EDM, and hip-hop influences and often selling out venues within minutes. 

Furthermore, for BLINKs, these final dates are bittersweet — celebrating the tour’s success and savoring the last performances before the next artistic chapter.
