BTS fans, it’s your time. Hot off January’s announcement that the K-pop juggernauts are returning for a massive world tour later this year, the ARMY has just been gifted another treat. Turns out, we won’t have to wait too long to see the boys back in action again. They’re coming to our screens this weekend, with a special performance to kick-off this new era.
This is all to celebrate the release of their new album, ARIRANG, which has also just dropped (the BTS bounty just keeps on coming, eh?) and is raking in rave reviews all round. Following a similar format to Harry Styles’ comeback special on Netflix last week, this one-off concert will be also be available on streaming giant, documenting their first gig in three years. Suffice to say, we’re on the edge of our seat.
Here’s everything you need to know to make sure you don’t miss it.

When is BTS’ comeback concert?
BTS will be taking to the stage on 21 March at Gwanghwamun, the main gate of the Gyeongbokgun palace in Seoul. No big deal. The global broadcast will start at 8pm in South Korea, which is 11am UK time. Get the mimosas in – it’s time for DIY BTS brunch.
What will the Netflix show cover?
The live performance will be just that: Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook, united on stage again for the first time since 2022, streamed directly into your living room. But as devout ARMY members know, the experience promises to resonate deeply with fans. As Netflix put it, “BTS live broadcasts have always functioned as global gatherings, with fans setting alarms, taking long lunch breaks, or staying up late so they can experience the moment together.” This isn’t just about the band reuniting – it’s about the fandom coming together, too.
