A speculation about BTS performing in India has gained new momentum after an interaction between Kim Taehyung, also known as V, and fans, sparking excitement among Indian fans. The global K-pop group has never held an official concert in India, and a tiny yet significant hint has now rekindled the hopes of a visit that has been awaited for a long time. The buzz was created during Vs live session on Weverse on December 27.
The artist, while responding to fan messages, greeted the Indian fans and spoke about the possibility of meeting them next year. Even though the statement was short and informal, it was enough for the fan communities to go into a frenzy, as many of them took it as a sign that India might be one of BTS’s next world tour destinations in 2026.
Is BTS Going To Perform In India?
Social media platforms were quickly taken over by the frenzy of the Desi Army fans. India fans for BTS, themed hashtags went viral, while fan pages were flooded with emotional reactions, edits, disbelief, and joy messages. For the Desi Army, fans of BTS in India, the moment was extra special because fans have been demanding an India stop for years. The point in time for this fanfare is also quite interesting. BTS is set to make a full group comeback after a long break due to the required military service. All seven members will be done with their enlistment by June 2025, and the band has already announced that they are working on new music. It is therefore expected that BTS will be back on stage in March 2026 to perform together for the first time in years.
Although an official tour schedule has not been made public, a global tour stop in India seems to be on the minds of industry insiders. A viable destination for global music acts. With the live music scene expanding in the country and a massive digital fan engagement, it has become difficult for artists and their teams to overlook India. HYBE’s rising influence in India, including the opening of a Mumbai office, is another factor that is leading to this speculation.
Currently, BTS and their management have not made any statements regarding tour locations or dates. Still, Indian fans have gotten this new hope from the Vs message that the group will come to the country with their world tour.
