(2ND UPDATE) BTS will return to the Philippines in 2027 for their upcoming world tour, marking the K-pop supergroup's first visit to the country in a decade, their label announced late Tuesday.
On its X account, BigHit Music revealed the cities and dates for the tour, including a Manila stop scheduled on March 13 and 14.
In a separate X post, Live Nation Philippines said the exact venue and ticketing details will be announced on a later date.

The tour will kick off with a three-day concert in Goyang, South Korea in April before moving to other stops across Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Australia.
Further stops, including shows in Japan and the Middle East, will be announced later, BigHit said.
The tour supports the group's fifth studio album, set for release on March 20.
The seven-member "Butter" hitmakers last held a full-group concert in the Philippines in 2017 during their "Wings" tour. Member J-Hope, however, returned in April 2025 for a two-day solo show as part of his "Hope On The Stage" tour.
BTS' most recent tour, the "Love Yourself" tour, ran through 2019. Their planned 2020 "Map of the Soul" tour was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and they resumed in-person shows with the "Permission to Dance On Stage" concert series in 2021 and 2022, before the group took a break.
The upcoming album will be BTS' first in nearly four years, following a break from group activities that coincided with the members' mandatory military service in South Korea.
Since their debut in 2013, BTS has risen to global prominence, becoming the most-streamed group on Spotify and the first K-pop act to top both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Artist 100 charts.
Beyond music, the septet has become widely recognized as youth icons, delivering speeches at the United Nations and meeting former U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House to address anti-Asian hate crimes.
