The stretch between November 2026 and March 2027 is stacked for K-pop fans — new albums dropping almost weekly, and several of the genre’s biggest world tours either kicking off or wrapping their international legs. We checked official announcements and trade coverage for every act below, so here’s exactly what’s confirmed, when it’s happening, and what we’re actually excited about.
8 K-pop Comebacks & Tours to Know
1. TOMORROW X TOGETHER — “PERFECT STORM” Comeback + “STEAL THE WIND” World Tour
TXT drops their 9th mini album “PERFECT STORM” on November 16, and three days earlier they kick off their “STEAL THE WIND” world tour with three nights at Seoul’s KSPO Dome (November 13-15), the first stop on a run that stretches into 2027. Our take: a comeback album landing in the middle of a tour launch is an aggressive scheduling choice, but it means the Seoul shows will likely debut the new material live before most fans have even finished their first listen. For the full city-by-city breakdown, see our TXT Steal the Wind World Tour guide.
2. Stray Kids — “RUN IT” World Tour, Asia Leg
Stray Kids close out 2026 with Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium (December 5) and Taipei Dome (December 12), then open 2027 with Bangkok’s Impact Arena (January 16-17) and Singapore Indoor Stadium (March 6-7). Our take: four cities across two continents in under three months is a brutal pace, but it’s exactly the kind of run that’s turned “RUN IT” into one of the most talked-about tours of the year.
3. ATEEZ — “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.6” Comeback + “ZERO TO ALL” World Tour Kickoff
ATEEZ releases their “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.6” mini album on November 13, then launches their sixth world tour, “ZERO TO ALL,” with three shows in Incheon (January 22-24), followed by Tokyo (February 2-3) and Kobe (February 13-14). Our take: opening a world tour at home before heading to Japan is a smart sequencing choice, and this is shaping up to be one of ATEEZ’s most ambitious tours yet, with Europe, the Americas, and more still to come later in 2027.
4. ENHYPEN — “BLOOD SAGA” World Tour, Asia & Europe Legs
ENHYPEN’s tour hits Tokyo and Aichi in December 2026, then continues through Jakarta, Fukuoka, and Osaka before wrapping its Asia run in Singapore on March 14, 2027. Europe follows close behind, with Milan (February 24), Paris (February 27), Amsterdam (March 2), Berlin (March 5-6), and two nights in London (March 8-9). Our take: this is one of the busiest touring schedules of any group in this window — two continents inside a single month is a genuinely demanding stretch, even by K-pop standards.
5. aespa — “SYNK : COMPLæXITY” World Tour, Europe Leg
After a three-month break following their North American dates, aespa’s “LEMONADE”-supporting world tour resumes in Manchester on January 14, 2027, then moves through London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Milan, and Barcelona before closing in Paris on February 2. Our take: ending a world tour in Paris is a strong closing statement, and this European run is the last confirmed leg of the “LEMONADE” era before attention shifts to whatever comes next.
6. BTS — “ARIRANG” World Tour, Final Asia-Pacific Leg
BTS’s massive comeback tour, already one of the year’s defining stories, closes out its run with Australian dates before concluding in Hong Kong and Manila, Philippines in March 2027. Our take: ending a world tour of this scale in Manila, a market K-pop acts don’t always prioritize for closing nights, is a notable choice and a good sign for how seriously the group is treating this comeback era. For the full story on how this tour came together, see our BTS post-hiatus comeback breakdown.
7. NCT DREAM — “DREAM AFTER DREAM” Comeback
NCT DREAM returns with their 6th full album “DREAM AFTER DREAM” on November 9. Our take: a full album, rather than another mini, signals real confidence in this era — worth watching to see whether it gets a dedicated tour announcement in the months that follow.
8. NAYEON (TWICE) — “NA-sty” Solo Comeback
TWICE’s Nayeon releases her new single album “NA-sty” on November 20, her latest solo outing between group activities. Our take: solo releases from TWICE members tend to fly a little under the radar compared to full-group comebacks, but Nayeon’s solo work has consistently performed well commercially, and this is a good one to watch if you’re a TWICE fan looking for something new before the group’s next joint era.
Most Anticipated
Our pick for the single most anticipated moment in this window is ATEEZ’s “ZERO TO ALL” tour kickoff in Incheon. It’s the rare case of a comeback album and a tour launch landing in the same stretch, at home, right before the group heads into an extremely packed international schedule — and after a run of increasingly ambitious tours, this one looks positioned to be their biggest yet. Close behind is Stray Kids’ “RUN IT” Asia leg, simply for the sheer density of major-market shows packed into such a short window.
Worth noting: not every major act has news this cycle. Seventeen’s last tour wrapped in Osaka back in May 2026 with nothing new confirmed yet, and while BLACKPINK’s members keep rolling out solo projects, there’s no confirmed group comeback or tour date for this specific window as of this writing — we’ll update if that changes.

Catching Up: Earlier 2026 K-pop News
Beyond this window’s comebacks and tours, it’s been a busy year across every major label. Here’s a label-by-label catch-up on everything else we’ve covered.
HYBE
Beyond BTS’s “ARIRANG” era above, the label’s roster kept moving all year: BTS opted out of the 2027 Grammys despite “Arirang”‘s success, while Jimin’s own World Cup jersey sold for $110,000 at a charity auction — two very different stories from the same comeback era. Over at Seventeen, Vernon enlisted for his mandatory military service, releasing a farewell single first. And HYBE’s Japan-based act &TEAM dropped their second Korean-language mini album, “Mark on Me.”
YG Entertainment
BIGBANG had a quieter but still newsworthy year ahead of their anniversary tour above — the group was named honorary ambassadors for Korea’s Aerospace Administration, a fitting lead-in to their own “XX: COSMOS” 20th anniversary world tour. On the BLACKPINK side, Lisa released her “PRESS PLAY” EP and single “SaWaDiKa,” then went on to set an MTV VMAs record with four 2026 nominations — her busiest solo stretch yet. Groupmate Jisoo also announced her own solo single, “CLICK,” continuing BLACKPINK’s run of individual releases between group activity.
SM Entertainment
Beyond aespa’s European tour leg above, the group had a big night domestically when aespa and Stray Kids swept the 2026 TME Awards in Hong Kong. Elsewhere in the SM family, Red Velvet returned with their full-group comeback “Velvet Summer,” NCT’s Chinese-language sub-unit WayV released their mini album “Vision Wings,” and SHINee’s Minho dropped his second solo mini-album, “Make It Hot.”
JYP Entertainment
Stray Kids’ own “THIS & THAT” album release came before the TME Awards sweep mentioned above. TWICE marked a decade of music with their Japanese best-of compilation, “#BEST 2015-2025,” while two of JYP’s newer acts made news of their own: NMIXX announced their first world tour finale in Incheon, and OURBIRTHDAY debuted as the label’s newest girl group.
Independent & Other Labels
RBW’s two acts both had tour and comeback news this year — ONEUS announced their “FULL MOON” world tour dates, and MAMAMOO brought their “4WARD” tour to Los Angeles for their 12th anniversary. WAKEONE’s ZEROBASEONE saw member Sung Han Bin announce his solo debut date, while two newer groups made their own comeback and debut news: KiiiKiii’s “WhyKiiiKiii” comeback and TUIDE’s debut with “TUNE & PLAY” and “SUN KISS.”
