BTS is bringing some of their most unforgettable concerts back to life on the big screen, offering fans around the world a chance to relive the excitement.

From Sept. 24 to Oct. 5, BTS Movie Weeks will take place in more than 2,000 theaters across 65 countries and regions, BigHit Music announced on Wednesday.

On social media, the group revealed the main poster for the event, which celebrates key milestones from their journey.

The lineup includes their very first major concert at Seoul’s Olympic Gymnastics Arena in 2016, as well as the 2017 Live Trilogy EPISODE III THE WINGS TOUR THE FINAL following their breakthrough Billboard Music Award win, the historic 2019 Wembley Stadium concert where BTS became the first Korean act to headline the venue, and the fan-favorite BTS 2021 Muster Sowoozoo held to mark their 8th debut anniversary.

Each performance has been carefully remastered in 4K ultra-high definition and 5.1 surround sound, allowing audiences to feel as if they are right there in the crowd — singing, cheering, and sharing the energy with fellow fans.

“We wanted to give ARMY another chance to remember and feel those special moments that defined BTS’ story” BigHit Music said. “By sharing the emotions and energy of the concerts on the big screen, we hope to connect with fans everywhere once again.”

BTS is set for a full-group comeback in spring 2026 with a new album and a large-scale world tour. Since July, the members have been in the US, devoting themselves to recording and rehearsals for their much-anticipated return.
