Exact time to log in to buy BTS Stanford Stadium tickets as fans predict ‘bloodbath’

BTS fans are bracing themselves for a 'bloodbath', after the smash-hit band announced a mega world tour for 2026 and 2027.

Fans have been waiting patiently for the K-pop superstars to tour, and their prayers have been answered with special 360-degree, in-the-round stage shows.

It's set to be a busy year for the band too, as the upcoming run consists of 79 live shows across a whopping 34 regions, and they'll be calling in at the Stanford Stadium for two dates on May 16 and 17, 2026.

The upcoming tour is to celebrate an as-yet-untitled new album in March and of course, demand for tickets is high.
