BTS fans can now relive the magic of their concerts with the release of a live album.

On July 18 at 1 PM, BTS will release the live album 'PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - LIVE'. This album captures the essence of their tour, which took place both online and offline across three cities: Seoul, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas from 2021 to 2022. This marks their first-ever live concert album since debut.

The album features 22 tracks, including BTS's mega-hits like 'Dynamite', 'Butter', and 'Permission to Dance', as well as beloved songs such as 'Blood Sweat & Tears', 'Life Goes On', 'Spring Day', and 'Dope'.

What makes this album special is the live versions of newly arranged songs for the concert. 'FIRE' and 'IDOL' have been reimagined with more intense sounds, while 'Dynamite' and 'Butter' are enhanced with brass sections for a lively and upbeat vibe. Most tracks have been rearranged to suit a live band setup, delivering a rich and dynamic experience.



The 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE' tour attracted 4 million fans worldwide through various formats, including in-person concerts, online live streaming, live viewing, and live play. This album encapsulates the excitement and emotion shared by millions of fans, along with the voices that filled the venues.

Alongside the album release, the final three performances of 'PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - SEOUL', held in 2022 at Jamsil Olympic Stadium in Seoul, will be available as a 141-minute digital code. This service, available on the global superfan platform Weverse, allows fans to watch high-definition VOD by registering and authenticating the code. An interview photobook capturing the members' radiant moments and behind-the-scenes stories is also included.

Meanwhile, BTS has officially announced their comeback for spring 2026.
