After three years of no albums, BTS is getting ready to reclaim their throne in 2026 with one of the biggest comebacks ever! The seven members of the global K-pop phenomenon, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, officially wrapped up their military service by June 2025 and reunited to prepare for their new era. Fans have been counting the days since their last group activities in 2022, and now the band is set to return with a new album in spring 2026, followed by a massive world tour that could reshape the music industry and entertainment.
Analysts predict this comeback will make the group’s label, HYBE, strike gold. According to Billboard, BTS’ comeback could generate over one billion dollars through concerts, album sales, streaming, and merchandise. The world tour alone might gross around 664 million dollars, with an estimated 65 shows and about 60,000 fans per night. Experts believe the new BTS era will be even bigger than their previous ones, with larger stadiums, higher ticket prices, and record-breaking attendance.
BTS comeback next year is expected to generate over $1 BILLION in revenue from concerts, merchandise, licensing, album sales and more.
