BTS FESTA 2026 Begins — 13th Anniversary Countdown Officially Opens

June 1, 2026 marks the official start of BTS FESTA 2026 — the annual two-week anniversary celebration counting down to BTS's 13th debut anniversary on June 13, 2026. Big Hit Music launches the FESTA timeline on Weverse at midnight KST, revealing a schedule of exclusive content drops, behind-the-scenes footage, and fan events leading up to the Busan Asiad Main Stadium anniversary concerts on June 12–13. The 2026 FESTA is the first held during an active world tour, adding a live-concert dimension to the celebrations. Among the announced FESTA content: an official FESTA family photo (June 4), a 'Hooligan' official performance video release (June 5) coinciding with the opening of 'BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Busan' citywide experience, and a special Weverse Live session on the eve of the anniversary (June 12). BTS members are currently in transit from Las Vegas to Seoul following the conclusion of the ARIRANG World Tour North American residency. ARMY worldwide mark June 1 with dedicated streaming events for all BTS discography, coordinated social media campaigns under #BTSFesta2026, and group watches of 'BTS: The Return' on Netflix. The 13th anniversary is particularly significant as it coincides with the peak momentum of the ARIRANG World Tour — the largest stadium tour in K-pop history, projected to gross approximately $1.8 billion — and the group's full reunion after military service completion.
