BTS has officially kicked off its annual celebration with fans around the world, unveiling the full schedule for the highly anticipated ‘2026 BTS FESTA.’
At midnight on June 1, the group revealed the timetable for this year’s FESTA through its official social media channels. Held annually in celebration of BTS’s June 13 debut anniversary, the festival spans approximately two weeks of online and offline content. This year’s event is generating even greater excitement as it coincides with the group’s ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN BUSAN’ concerts.
The theme of this year’s FESTA is ’13(B)TS.’ While the number 12 traditionally symbolizes a complete cycle, 13 represents moving beyond completion and stepping into a new chapter. The concept reflects BTS and ARMY’s determination to build on the history they have created together over the past 12 years and continue forward into the future.
The celebration begins on June 4 with the release of BTS’s annual family photo, one of the group’s signature traditions dating back to 2014. The new photo is expected to draw significant attention as it marks a rare full group gathering following the members’ military service period.
On June 5, BTS will release the official performance video for “Hooligan,” a track from the group’s fifth full length album ‘ARIRANG.’ Additional content will follow, including ‘NORMAL LOG’ on June 7 and ’13 SIDE FILM’ on June 8, offering fans a closer look at the members’ daily lives and current thoughts.
The popular self produced variety series ‘Run BTS 2.0’ will return on June 10 and 11. The original ‘Run BTS’ remains one of the group’s most beloved content franchises, with the recently released three part special ‘Run BTS: BTS’s Trip’ already approaching 30 million cumulative views on YouTube.
On June 12, BTS will officially release “Come Over,” a previously hidden track available only on the deluxe vinyl edition of ‘ARIRANG.’ Produced primarily by SUGA, the song expresses the longing to find one’s way back to a loved one even during moments of uncertainty and wandering. A special physical edition of the album will also be released the same day.
The highlight of FESTA will be BTS’s two day concert at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on June 12 and 13. The performances mark the group’s return to Busan for the first time since the globally acclaimed ‘BTS ‘Yet To Come’ in BUSAN’ concert held in October 2022 in support of the city’s World Expo bid.
The venue carries particular significance as it was one of BTS’s final major concert stages before the members began their military service. Both concert dates sold out immediately, demonstrating the group’s continued global drawing power.
BTS recently wrapped up the North American leg of its tour with a final performance at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on May 28 local time. The 2026 North American tour included 15 concerts across five major cities, including Tampa and Mexico City, attracting a total of 840,000 attendees.
The group’s touring success has also translated into impressive commercial results. According to Billboard, BTS generated $76.2 million in revenue from eight concerts held across Seoul, Japan, and the United States in April alone, earning the No. 1 spot on the publication’s Top Tours chart for the month.
