Fans can also look forward to the B-side film on June 8.
One of the most anticipated announcements is the return of the group’s beloved variety series. A teaser for Run BTS! 2.0 will release on June 10, with the show premiering a day later.
The schedule will accelerate on June 12. BTS will release a limited-edition picture disc vinyl of their fifth album, Arirang, as well as the official release and lyric video for Come Over. The Arirang World Tour will also kick off with an opening concert in Busan on June 12 and 13 on the same day.
The festivities will conclude on June 13, BTS’s official debut anniversary, with a special project titled 20130613 Congratulations, which is a direct reference to the group’s debut date in 2013.
The importance of this year’s Festa goes beyond the content series. Revisiting the place where their journey began and celebrating 13 years since their debut, BTS are reflecting on the path that has taken them from rookies performing in small venues to global superstars capable of filling stadiums around the world.
For ARMY, FESTA has always been an opportunity to look back at the group’s growth. However, this year the event feels especially meaningful. With new music, the return of Run BTS!, the launch of a world tour and a reunified BTS at the center of it all, Festa 2026 serves as both a celebration of the past and a statement of intent for the future.
Thirteen years after June 13, 2013, BTS once again stands at their starting point, only now with a legacy that has reshaped K-pop’s place on the global stage.
