BTS Plans to Add More ARIRANG Tour Dates and Work on New Music and Solo Projects in 2027

BTS plans to extend its ARIRANG World Tour into the first half of 2027 and work on group and solo projects, HYBE said Tuesday (Nov. 3) as it reported record quarterly profits.

“We plan to announce additional dates for the tour and are also preparing for the group’s post-tour activities, including both group and solo projects,” CEO Lee Jae-sang said during an earnings call, according to The Korea Herald. “HYBE will unlock greater possibilities and move toward the future without resting on its laurels.”

In a press release, the South Korean music and entertainment company reported all-time high revenue of 1.52757 trillion Korean won ($1.135 billion) and operating profit of 188.5 billion Korean won ($140.35 million) for the third quarter of 2026. HYBE said both figures surpassed records set in the previous quarter, driven by “BTS’ world tour and continued progress in [the band’s] multihome, multigenre strategy.”

BTS began the tour in April following the March release of its album ARIRANG, which spent three weeks atop the Billboard 200. RM, Jin, Jimin, Jung Kook, SUGA, V and j-hope have played stadiums across Asia, North America, Europe and Latin America. After a few weeks off the road, the group will resume the tour later in November with more shows in Asia and stops in Australia.

At press time, the tour’s previously announced dates ran through mid-March in the Philippines. “Looking ahead, BTS will continue its world tour through the first half of 2027 while working on music and other projects,” HYBE said in its release. “Broader artist activities and continued development of HYBE’s global infrastructure and platform services are expected to support further growth.”
