Exciting news for ARMY: New BTS content is officially on the way! The iconic K-pop group has announced the release of their first-ever live album, titled Permission to Dance on Stage – LIVE. Set to drop on July 18 at 1 pm KST, the album will be accompanied by a digital companion video titled BTS Permission to Dance on Stage—Seoul. Fans can start pre-ordering the album from July 1 at 11 am KST.
Originally launched during the pandemic as online concerts, BTS’s Permission to Dance on Stage tour later expanded to include in-person shows around the world. In total, the tour attracted over 4 million fans across 12 performances, becoming one of the group’s most memorable live experiences.
According to an official announcement from BIGHIT MUSIC, the album will include 22 live tracks, featuring hits like Dynamite, Butter, Life Goes On, Boy With Luv (feat. Halsey), ON, and more. The album is said to “vibrantly capture the passion and touching moments of the concert,” celebrating the deep bond between BTS and their fans.
The digital version of the album will offer even more. It includes 141 minutes of concert footage from BTS’s final Permission to Dance performance at Seoul’s Olympic Stadium in March 2022. Fans will also get access to unseen interviews, behind-the-scenes moments, and more through a special content card that comes with the album.
This release is especially meaningful as it marks the group’s first group project following their military enlistments. The final member, SUGA, completed his alternative service on June 21, reuniting all seven members. Though there’s no official word on new music, rumors are swirling about a possible full-group comeback in March 2026.
In the meantime, fans can relive the magic of BTS’s live performances through this upcoming album—an emotional tribute to the group’s unforgettable moments with ARMY.
