BTS Turns 13. Here's What They're Giving ARMY Before Busan.
At midnight KST on June 1, BTS dropped the full schedule for the 2026 BTS FESTA - the group's annual debut anniversary celebration, running June 4 through June 13. The theme is "13(B)TS." The number 13, BigHit Music explained, represents moving beyond the symbolic completeness of 12 - a new chapter rather than a closed cycle. The Busan concerts close it out.
This year's FESTA is the first in which all seven members are fully active and on tour simultaneously. The 2024 edition ran with Jin alone; the 2025 version had most members back but no world tour to anchor it. In 2026, with the ARIRANG World Tour mid-run and the group's 13th anniversary falling on the same day as the second Busan concert, BigHit has built the FESTA schedule as a formal ramp-up to what is shaping up to be the most significant anniversary the group has held since their 10th.
The full lineup, confirmed through official channels:
June 4 - BTS Family Photo, a FESTA tradition since 2014
June 5 - "Hooligan" Official Performance Video
June 7 - Normal Log
June 8 - 13 Side Film
June 10 - Run BTS! 2.0 Teaser
June 11 - Run BTS! 2.0 full release
June 12 - Busan concert Day 1 + "Come Over" official release and lyric video + Arirang 613 Limited Edition Picture Disc Vinyl
June 13 - Busan concert Day 2 + 13th debut anniversary
The Run BTS! return is the item drawing the most immediate attention. The original series ran from 2015 to 2022 before going on indefinite hiatus when members began enlisting. It was one of the most-watched K-pop variety formats globally, regularly trending across multiple markets with each new episode. Run BTS! 2.0 has not had its format confirmed - whether it returns as a full variety series or as a limited FESTA release is still unclear - but the teaser drops June 10, one day before the full release.
"Come Over" is the other notable piece. The track has been circulating among fans since early tour footage surfaced, and its official release on June 12 - the same day as the first Busan concert - positions it as the emotional centerpiece of both FESTA and the Busan leg. A Limited Edition Picture Disc Vinyl release of Arirang on the same date suggests BigHit is treating June 12 as a full release event layered on top of the concert.
The Busan stop carries context that goes beyond the tour itinerary. The concerts on June 12 and 13 mark BTS's return to Busan Asiad Main Stadium for the first time since October 2022, when they played "BTS: Yet To Come in Busan" as part of the city's World Expo bid. That concert was among the final major stages before members began their mandatory military service. Both 2026 dates sold out immediately after ticketing opened. The June 13 show will also be broadcast live to cinemas worldwide via btsliveviewing.com.
The ARIRANG World Tour has logged North American dates through late May - including a Las Vegas run from May 23 through May 28 - before the Busan stop, followed by the European leg beginning in Madrid on June 26.
