The world tour will run from April 2026 to March 2027, with 79 shows in 34 cities around the world, making it the largest tour ever undertaken by a K-pop act.
The tour will kick off in Goyang, South Korea, on April 9 with three shows. It will then stop by Japan, the US, Europe, and finish in Manila (the Philippines). HYBE Entertainment said there will be additional stops to be announced at a later date, including extra nights in Japan and the Middle East.
