BTS is back with something special for fans worldwide. While their official comeback is still a bit away, they are giving fans something special to enjoy and help make the wait feel shorter.
On July 1 at midnight, BIGHIT MUSIC dropped the teaser for BTS’ first live album Permission to Dance on Stage – LIVE on all social media platforms.
The group will release its first-ever live concert album, Permission to Dance on Stage – LIVE, on July 18 at 1 PM KST. The album will capture the memorable moments of their massive 2021–2022 world tour, which brought together over four million ARMYs both in stadiums and online.
The Permission to Dance on Stage tour marked a huge milestone for BTS during a time when live concerts were still rare due to the pandemic. They made history as the first Korean act to headline at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. BTS sold out multiple nights in both cities and proved their record-breaking global pull.
This live album includes 22 of their biggest songs performed on tour, such as “ON,” “FIRE,” “Dope,” “Dynamite,” “Butter,” and “IDOL,” along with the energy of fans’ cheers recorded during the shows. BIGHIT MUSIC shared that they hope this album will help fans relive the excitement and emotional connection that BTS and ARMY created together on stage.
Additionally, the special Permission to Dance on Stage – Seoul (Digital Code) package was announced alongside the new live album. It gives fans another way to re-live BTS’s historic 2022 shows with exclusive video, photos, and collectible items.
Now that all seven members have completed their mandatory military service, this release is also a signal that BTS is truly ready to reunite as a full group. According to reports from Korean outlets like Yonhap News and Korea Herald, BTS plans to start working on a brand-new studio album this year, aiming for an official group comeback in the first half of 2026.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to hearing the live versions of their favorite songs and remembering the powerful moments that defined BTS’s last tour before enlistment. With the live album, the group is giving ARMY a chance to feel that concert energy all over again while they wait for BTS’s next big chapter.
Meanwhile, pre-orders for live concert album Permission to Dance On Stage – LIVE will start at 11 AM KST on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. The official release is scheduled for 1 PM KST on Friday, July 18, 2025.
