BTS reveals hints about the first stop on their 2026 World Tour, following in G-Dragon's footsteps to Vietnam?

V (BTS)'s comment during a recent livestream has thrilled fans, especially those in India, who believe he's "spoiled" a concert in their country. Vietnamese fans are also eagerly awaiting an official announcement.

While fans worldwide were anxiously awaiting his arrival, V unexpectedly dropped a hint that caused a stir on social media. During a recent short audio broadcast on Weverse Live, the singer greeted his Indian fans in Hindi: "To Indian ARMY, namaste. Indian ARMYs, see you next year!" Just a short sentence, but it was enough to ignite a wave of speculation among international fans.

As the member dubbed the "king of spoilers" in BTS, V's comment was quickly interpreted as a highly suggestive signal, rather than just a spontaneous greeting. Many believe that India is very likely to be one of BTS's first destinations on their 2026 tour. On social media platforms, keywords related to "BTS India" immediately topped trending charts, reflecting unprecedented excitement.

Fans in the South Asian country have waited over 10 years to welcome BTS to their home stadium. Many fans also recall rumors that surfaced in October of this year, suggesting that Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai might be chosen as the concert venue. Although there has been no official confirmation, the continuous emergence of clues has only strengthened the fans' belief.

In recent years, BTS has become a prominent cultural phenomenon in India, consistently dominating charts and online trends. The success of large-scale international music festivals organized by Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and Diljit Dosanjh also shows that India is gradually becoming an attractive destination for global tours. This makes the possibility of BTS visiting India entirely plausible.

Although BigHit Music remains silent and has not made an official announcement, fans are already on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the next venue reveal. Vietnamese fans are also excited, especially since G-Dragon successfully held two concerts just a month ago. This is expected to be the beginning of more spectacular music shows from both domestic and international stars.

According to numerous industry sources, the possibility of BTS releasing a brand new studio album in 2026 is almost certain. Simultaneously, their global tour plans are becoming a hot topic of discussion. On social media, fans have even launched a campaign to bring the song "Ma City" back to international music charts as a way of sending a message to BTS, hoping the group will visit their country on their upcoming tour.

FN News predicts that BTS's 2026 global tour could last approximately eight months, from May to December, on a massive scale. The total number of shows is estimated at 65, attracting around 4 million viewers worldwide. On average, each concert could draw over 60,000 attendees, a figure that demonstrates the undiminished appeal of this top K-pop group. Billboard also made a similar prediction, suggesting BTS will hold approximately 65 shows across three main regions: North America, Europe, and Asia, with total ticket sales reaching nearly 3.9 million.
