BTS in Manila: What We Know So Far About the Upcoming Concert

BTS in Manila: What We Know So Far About the Upcoming Concert

Jan 16, 2026   •   Meryl Medel

Check on your Filipino ARMY friends and ask them how they’re doing, because the much-awaited Philippine comeback of global superstar group BTS has been officially confirmed. Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming BTS concert in Manila.

 

BTS World Tour

BTS recently announced their much-awaited world tour, with 34 cities confirmed so far and more still to be announced. And yes, Manila is one of the stops!

The group’s members — RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook — were only reunited last June 2025, after finishing their mandatory military enlistment. BTS has since been preparing for their upcoming album Arirang, set to be released on March 20, 2026, and of course, their world tour.

 

When and where will it be held?

The Manila stop of the BTS World Tour is scheduled on March 13 to 14, 2027. It will be organized by Live Nation Philippines.

The venue has not been announced yet, but fans are speculating between Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan and SMDC Festival Grounds in Paranaque.

 

What does the stage look like?

While no seat map has been released for the Manila stop as of writing, ARMYs have seen the seat maps in other stops like Goyang, Tokyo, and various US stadiums. And all have a 360-degree stage!

But how does it actually work? A 360-degree stage puts the artist in the center of the crowd, removing the “backstage” and allowing the utilization of all seats. Artists also constantly pivot and move around the stage to face all sides of the stage. And don’t worry, these shows usually include massive LED screens suspended from a central grid frame above the stage.

Some foreign artists who performed on 360-degree stages in Manila include Ed Sheeran and Korean girl group TWICE. Local artists like BINI and SB19 also held shows in 360-degree formats.

 

What’s on the set list?

No word yet, as the tour will only start in April 2026 in South Korea. But you can expect much of their upcoming 14-track album Arirang will be included in the set list.

 

How much are BTS concert ticket prices?

For ticket prices and tiers, there is no information available yet. We’ll update this page as details come out, so bookmark this page.

If we look at previous Hybe shows in Manila, such as j-hope’s concert last April 2025, there may be three sale periods: a Weverse membership presale, a Live Nation PH or brand partner presale, and a general sale.

 

BTS’ last group concert was Yet to Come in Busan way back in October 2022, and before that, in March and April 2022 in Seoul, South Korea, and Los Angeles and Las Vegas, USA

In between then and 2026, the members had finished their mandatory military enlistment and pursued solo projects, including solo world tours. Last April 2025, j-hope performed two sold-out nights for his solo concert Hope on the Stage in the SM Mall of Asia Arena, ending the eight-year drought for Filipino ARMYs.

But as a group, BTS was in Manila for their Wings Tour last 2017, making it nine years since the septet held a show in the Philippines.
