BTS comes to MetLife: K-pop group with 'Dynamite' hit to perform Aug. 1, 2

K-pop's biggest boy band, the international sensation BTS, is coming to MetLife Stadium this summer.

The five-time Grammy-nominated group announced a long-awaited 79-show world tour on Tuesday, including two nights in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The tour will begin in April with three nights in Goyang, South Korea, and then travel through Asia, North America, South America, Europe and Australia before ending in March 2027 in Manila, Philippines.

The seven-member band will perform at MetLife on Aug. 1 and 2.

Tickets will be available starting Jan. 22 via the fan-based BTS ARMY Membership online site, with select dates on presale Jan. 23.

Remaining tickets will be available to the general public beginning Jan. 24 at LiveNation.com. Presale and onsale times vary by market, so check your local listings for more information.

According to LiveNation, the trek is set to be the biggest global K-pop tour of all time and will feature first performances by the group in several cities, among them Bogotá, Colombia; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

The tour will also feature a 360-degree, in-the-round stage design, creating an immersive setup to make the audience "the center of the experience while allowing for increased capacity at every venue," LiveNation said.

Earlier this month, entertainment company BigHit Music, which manages BTS, announced the group's new album will be released on March 20. 

The new release will mark their first since 2022’s anthology, “Proof”; their 2021 Japanese compilation album “BTS, the Best”; and their last studio album, “Be,” which dropped in 2020, The Associated Press reported. 

The announcement comes about six months after the members completed their mandatory military service in South Korea.

All able-bodied men aged 18 to 28 in South Korea are required by law to perform 18 to 21 months of military service.

BTS is largely credited with bringing K-pop to the international stage, breaking boundaries and records with singles like the five-time platinum "Dynamite," their first all-English single in 2020. It was the first time an all-South Korean musical act debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, according to the AP.

The group also received a Grammy nomination the same year for the best pop duo/group performance category, the first time a K-pop act received a Recording Academy nod.
