BTS are back and ready to tear up the music scene once again. This time, however, they’re coming to a city near you.

The boy group’s 2026 album, titled Arirang, is dropping on March 20. In support of said album, the boy band is finally going on tour, aptly titled ARIRANG tour. The hype is so real that, according to HYBE, BTS’ parent company, the North American and European legs of the world tour have already sold out within a few hours, reflecting ARMY’s hardcore devotion.

Think of it this way. This is the first album BTS has released since they all took time off to fulfill the mandatory military service South Korea imposes on men in the country — a service that takes up to 18 to 21 months. Additionally, the last time the group went on tour in America was during their Permission to Dance on Stage residency, which wrapped up in Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 16, 2022. It’s safe to say that the lengthy hiatus and lack of music have left fans craving more of the BTS boys.

The North American leg of the ARIRANG tour will begin in Tampa on April 25, with stops in Mexico City, Las Vegas, Toronto, Chicago, and more. It will conclude with four-night shows at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles with 31 shows in total. Tickets for BTS’ ARIRANG tour were available for presale Jan. 22-23rd, followed by a general sale on Jan. 24. We’d recommend checking Ticketmaster periodically to see if new tickets have been added. If not, third-party ticketing sites are your best bet at securing seats. Below we’ve listed out a few of those third-party sites, along with a few deals on us, that’ll hopefully help you snag the tickets you’ve been searching for.

While you’re at it, why not shop the boy band’s merch to prep for your concert attendance? Shop our picks here.

Where to Get Tickets to BTS’ 2026 ARIRANG World Tour Online

Ticketmaster is the official spot to snag tickets for BTS’. Picking are slim, given many venues have already sold out, but it’s worth keeping your eyes peeled in case new dates are added. The ticketing service offers a Fan Guarantee, which allows for cancellations, refunds or exchanges within 24 hours of booking, subject to certain exclusions.

The ticketing site also recently announced that they’re barring fans and brokers from operating multiple accounts on its platform. They also plan to shut down its long-criticized TradeDesk ticket uploading application and start requiring ticket brokers to hand over their Social Security numbers in order to sell tickets on Ticketmaster’s resale platform, further making sure your tickets are secure.

StubHub features some of the best pricing on tickets for BTS’ tour we’ve seen thus far, with some going for just $167, a steal when compared to other platforms. The third-party platform still has a ton of seating options available. You can shop for all dates and arenas with ease thanks to the ticketing service’s FanProtect Guarantee.

As WWE marches toward WrestleMania season, wrestling superstar Becky Lynch stands closer to in-ring immortality than ever before. Lauded by Bleacher Report and Sports Illustrated as the greatest female wrestler of all time, “Big Time Becks” is no longer motivated by fear – she’s driven by control. Lynch’s audacious attitude and unshakable Irish grit have allowed her to surpass every standard set before her, especially now as WWE’s reigning Women’s Intercontinental Champion.

Alongside defending her title on a near-weekly basis, Lynch is also starring in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on Paramount+. At home, she’s raising her five-year-old daughter Roux with husband and fellow WWE superstar Seth Rollins; a balancing act fans can see up close in season two of WWE: Unreal on Netflix.

While that duality has tested Lynch in new ways, her unflappable confidence — now sharpened by a calculating, heel-leaning persona — has only elevated her swagger. The result is a version of Lynch that feels both untouchable and essential, must-see television for longtime diehards and a new generation of fans alike.

“There is nothing I can’t do right now,” Lynch tells Billboard via Zoom. “Just give me anything and I’ll make it work. There is nothing I can’t talk my way out of or explain my way out of. I have the greatest lawyers backing me. I have a whole team and a whole universe that isn’t even on camera pulling the strings. There’s nothing I can’t do right now.”

For Entry 017 of Mic Drops and Leg Drops, Lynch briefly spoke to Carl Lamarre earlier this month about wrestling alongside her husband Seth Rollins, her dream match with Toni Storm and more.

You previously worked with Seth Rollins before you both teamed up again last year for The Vision storyline. What made this creative run feel more fruitful or different this time around?

The last time we didn’t know each other in our relationship setting. We just started dating. We were together like two months at that point. Then, all of a sudden, we were thrust onto TV and were trying to figure out how our dynamic as characters worked when we hadn’t even figured out how our dynamic in a relationship worked.

If that wasn’t bad enough, you had the announcers every two seconds saying that we were in a real life relationship and people were just nauseated by it. We didn’t know what we were doing. We didn’t know how to interact with each other. It was tense, hard and difficult. We felt like we were doing something wrong.

Now, we’ve been married for nearly five years, have a daughter together and know each other [more]. We’re very comfortable where we’re settled into our relationship and dynamic. To be able to bring that to the screen with characters that are just larger than life and mesh together quite well [is great]. “Big Time Becks” and Seth Freakin Rollins are a bit much [laughs]. Together, it works out perfectly. 

You’re a best-selling author, a multi-time world champion, and now you’re stepping into acting. Are Hollywood accolades something you’re actively chasing, or are you simply doing it for the love of the game?

Gosh. I think maybe a little bit of both, but mostly for the love of the game because I just love performance in whatever medium that may be. Whether it’s on WWE, Star Trek, Happy Gilmore or Billions, I love it. I absolutely love it. I love working and I’m going to be working until the wheels fall off. But one day, the wheels are going to fall off when it comes to wrestling and then you gotta be thinking what’s next? 

As a surefire Hall of Famer with nothing left to prove, what still drives you to step into the ring week after week?

Right now, it’s all the purpose of a story. I think that’s the thing when you kind of accomplished everything, you come back to the bare bones. You come back to, “Why do I do this in the first place? Well, I love it. Well, OK. How can I make this better than it was when I found it? How we can lift up the next generation? Who’s gonna be the people that take over next and how we can make sure that they’re in a position to succeed. How can we tell the best stories? How can we get the audience invested? How can we get new eyes on the business? How can I make people feel the way I felt when I was a fan?” 

As an Irish wrestler who came up overseas, how do you compare the edge and instincts of international talent versus today’s homegrown American stars?

When you’re coming from overseas, you have to set up a whole new life. You’re coming in and you have to buy furniture, a car and you have to really settle in versus when you’re already in America. Your family is here and you can drive your car down, it’s different. You really have to burn the boat and know you’re not going back.

There is the perils of where you might not make the cut and that’s the thing of when I was coming up, it was really cutthroat. My roommate Joe — who now runs OTT Wrestling is incredible and amazing — got fired. Everything he had set up, he had to sell and get rid of. Then you’re going back to Ireland and have to set a life there again. I think when you’re coming from overseas, you have a bit more of that “Live or Die” attitude.

If there were an open-door invasion and you could wrestle anyone from any promotion today, who would you choose and what kind of match would you want it to be?

Well, I’d probably wrestle Toni Storm. I always wanted to wrestle her. I was bummed when she left and she’s doing amazing work over there at [AEW]. It’s absolutely amazing. Let’s make it a Dublin Street Fight. I do love a good street fight or maybe a Hell in a Cell. Yeah, let’s make it a Hell in a Cell. 

If your daughter Roux ever wanted to pursue wrestling, what’s the one piece of advice you’d give her that has nothing to do with what happens in the ring?

Oh gosh. Just keep your head about ya. As much as this is a physical game, a lot of it is a mental game too. So it’s about kind of keeping your head about ya. That’s it. Just keep your feet planted on the ground and remember where you came from. 

  

Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” tops both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for a sixth week. The song holds atop each list, after debuting atop the tallies in October.

Plus, Zara Larsson’s “Lush Life,” rejuvenated from 2015, hits the Global 200 top 10 and Dave and Tems’ “Raindance” rises to the top 10 on Global Excl. U.S.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

“The Fate of Ophelia” leads the Global 200 with 58 million streams and 12,000 sold worldwide in the week ending Jan. 22.

The entire Global 200’s top five remains in place, with Djo’s “End of Beginning” at No. 2, two weeks after it became the singer-songwriter and actor’s first Global 200 No. 1; HUNTR/X’s “Golden” at No. 3, after 18 weeks on top beginning last July; Bruno Mars’ “I Just Might” at No. 4 in its second week on the chart; and Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” at No. 5, after reaching No. 3.

Zara Larsson earns her first Global 200 top 10, as “Lush Life” leaps 11-8 led by 35 million streams worldwide. The Swedish artist released the song in June 2015; it hit the chart for the first time in December as it surged in viral activity. A week ago, it reached the top 10 on Global Excl. U.S., where this week it rises to No. 7. (“U.S., catch up!,” she teased/commanded.)

“The Fate of Ophelia” rules Global Excl. U.S. with 44.7 million streams and 5,000 sold outside the U.S.

“End of Beginning” is steady at its No. 2 Global Excl. U.S. high; “Golden” keeps at No. 3 after a record 20 weeks at No. 1 since July; RAYE’s “Where Is My Husband!” has and holds a No. 5 best; and “I Just Might” drops 4-5 in its second week.

Elsewhere, Dave and Tems’ “Raindance” climbs 12-8 on Global Excl. U.S., powered by 27.6 million streams beyond the U.S. The new No. 1 on the Official UK Singles Chart marks the second Global Excl. U.S. top 10 for Dave, from London, and the first for Tems, from Nigeria.

The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated Jan. 31, 2026) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Jan. 27. For both charts, the top 100 titles are available to all readers on Billboard.com, while the complete 200-title rankings are visible on Billboard Pro, Billboard’s subscription-based service. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Luminate, the independent data provider to the Billboard charts, completes a thorough review of all data submissions used in compiling the weekly chart rankings.

In partnership with Billboard, data deemed suspicious or unverifiable is removed, using established criteria, before final chart calculations are made and published.

Darren Criss and Nicole Scherzinger took best performance by a leading actor and actress in a musical, respectively, for starring in those shows.
