BTS FESTA 2026
The Indian Express reports BTS released Come Over on global platforms June 12, 2026 as the centerpiece of FESTA 2026, after the track had been vinyl-only on ARIRANG.
Goldscene's FESTA post notes a Busan anniversary weekend (June 13 to 15) built around fan events rather than a full-group arena comeback. North American fans typically participate through coordinated streaming and Weverse content.

iHeartRadio Music Festival
The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival runs September 18–19 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, per iHeartMedia. BTS is on the Friday bill; LE SSERAFIM was added to the festival lineup. This is U.S. pop infrastructure, not a fan-meeting tent.

Label comeback weeks (fan-event adjacent)
ATEEZ released Golden Hour: Part.5 in the June 2026 comeback window tracked on Goldscene's ATEEZ post. Comeback weeks stack variety show appearances, fan-sign events, and live streams even when no U.S. arena date is attached.
