After a break for mandatory military service in Korea, the K-pop group BTS, the first of its kind to achieve international fame and still rocking it around the globe today, is returning in 2026 with a world tour. And great news, the group members will be in Paris for two dates this summer!

Truly, the Stade de France has become the place to hold a concert in recent months. After Beyoncé, Jul, Aya Nakamura, Bruno Mars, and even Sofiane Pamart, it's the various singers from the BTS group who have announced their performance at this legendary venue on July 17 and 18. And good news, the tickets will be on sale very soon.


K-pop is on the rise

Unless you've been living in a basement, you must have noticed the global rise of K-Pop in recent years. A worldwide phenomenon sparked by Psy in 2017 with his famous song "Gangnam Style," and since then, it has been carried by dozens of groups like BTS, and many more!

Blackpink, Seventeen, and Twice. A success that relies on catchy sounds, precise choreography picked up by fans, and an impeccable fashion sense.

More recently, it was the Netflix production K-Pop Demon Hunters that shot the genre to the top, becoming the most-watched film in the platform's history, with over 300 million views. The soundtrack, which you've definitely had stuck in your head over the past few months, was crowned a success by winning the award for Best Original Song at the Golden Globes.


Two concerts awaited like the Messiah

But let's get back to the point! This week, it’s BTS, one of the first groups to break into the global scene, that has filled the hearts of all K-Pop fans with joy by announcing a new international tour after several years of hiatus. And they will be at the Stade de France this summer, specifically on Friday, July 17, and Saturday, July 18, 2026.

If you want to be part of the action, make sure to mark your calendars for January 24, because tickets go on sale at 3 PM, and we’re warning you, they're likely to sell out quickly! And here’s the cherry on top: the band has announced a new album set to release on March 20, giving you just the right amount of time—4 months—to learn it by heart before the big show. Alright, we’ll leave you to it, we’re off to brush up on our Korean.
