<p><br>Hybe, the parent company of BTS' label BigHit Music, confirmed the exciting news on Tuesday. J-Hope himself shared the announcement on Instagram, stirring up excitement among his fans.</p>
<p>The tour will kick off in Seoul with three nights of performances, followed by a much-awaited North American leg. The U.S. leg will begin on March 13, with two shows at the Barclays Center in New York. J-Hope will then head to Chicago, Mexico City, San Antonio, and Oakland, wrapping up in Los Angeles at BMO Stadium. This final stop is particularly historic as it will mark the first time a Korean solo artist has headlined a U.S. stadium, according to The Hollywood Reporter.</p>
<p>The tour will continue across Asia, with stops in the Philippines and Singapore, among others. Further cities will be announced in due course. While this is J-Hope's first official solo tour, he is no stranger to solo performances. In 2022, he became the first Korean artist to headline the iconic Lollapalooza festival in Chicago.</p>
<p>J-Hope&rsquo;s dedicated fans, known as ARMY, will also have the opportunity to enjoy live-streamed performances from Seoul&rsquo;s leg of the tour, available on Hybe's fan platform, Weverse. It's still unclear whether other stops will be live-streamed.</p>
<p>The "Hope on the Stage" tour is a major milestone for BTS members as they continue with their solo projects following mandatory military service. J-Hope is the second BTS member to return from service after Jin, the eldest member, who returned in June 2024. The group is expected to reunite later this year when all members have completed their service.</p>
<p>Pre-sale tickets for the tour will be available to official ARMY fan club members starting January 22, with general sales beginning the next day, January 23. Ticket details for the Los Angeles show will be announced at a later date, due to ongoing wildfires in the region.</p>
