BTS will not only stream their first tour back after a hiatus on Netflix, but they're also bringing it to cinemas.

Announced on Thursday, the Bangtan Boys will bring their 'ARIRANG' world tour concerts to movie theatres. It's a collaboration between HYBE, BigHit Music, and Trafalgar Releasing, the team that brought Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour to theaters.

BTS' first tour together in four years will hit 34 cities across the world with a total of 82 shows, starting with Goyang, Korea on Apr. 9 — and at this point, almost every show with tickets on sale is sold out or on last seats.

The live-streamed concerts will be Goyang's second show on Apr. 11 and the second Tokyo show on Apr. 18. Tickets are available through the event website from Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 10 a.m. KST / 5 a.m. PT / 8 a.m. ET / 1 p.m. GMT / 8 p.m. ICT. Specific cities and cinemas aren't listed at this point, but the release will be global.

All seven members of BTS — RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook — will perform songs from their upcoming fifth album ARIRANG as well as the huge BTS catalogue.

BTS announced a hiatus for the group in June 2022 in order to fulfill South Korea's mandatory military service (which they'd all completed by June 2025) and spend time on solo projects.
